# Snapshot

> Take snapshots of the current stream.

<Note>Snapshotting is currently only supported for MJPEG streams.</Note>

There are 2 modes available for snapshotting: **Single** and **Interval**. The default mode can be set within the [Default Card Options settings](/discovery/global-settings/default-card-settings#snapshotting).

While a card has an **MJPEG** stream running, <Icon icon="camera" color="#46bae7" /> **Snapshot** will appear on the card.

## Configuring Snapshot

To set a different snapshot mode for a single card (instead of the [Default Card Options settings](/discovery/global-settings/default-card-settings#snapshotting)),
long press the <Icon icon="camera" color="#46bae7" /> **Snapshot** button to open the card's snapshot config.

</Frame>

To select single frame snapshotting, select **Single**.

To select interval frame snapshotting, select **Interval** and set the number to the interval needed.

## Single Snapshot

While the snapshot mode is set to single, the icon will look like a **standard camera**.

</Frame>

Clicking the button in this mode will snapshot what is currently being streamed **once**.

## Interval Snapshots

While the snapshot mode is set to interval, the icon will look like a **cycling camera**.

</Frame>

Clicking the button in this mode will activate interval snapshotting, and it will take a snapshot of what is being streamed in the intervals specified.

An active interval will be colored **blue** and flash on every snapshot.

</Frame>

The activity light on the video card tab will also be **flashing** <Icon icon="circle" iconType="solid" color="blue" size={8} />.

</Frame>

To stop the interval, click the interval button while it's active (blue).

> The resulting snapshot(s) can be found through the snapshot file path under "Save Paths" within the [Capture Path Settings](/discovery/global-settings/capture-paths).
