# Advanced Snapshot & Video

> Advanced Snapshot & Video is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 399 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 19, 2026.

Advanced Snapshot & Video is an integration that captures camera snapshots and videos with cropping and text options. It adds two actions to Home Assistant, one that takes a snapshot from a chosen camera and one that records a video, each cropping the result and saving it with optional text. Text can be placed on the left, center or right of a bar, and the bar's position, color and height can be changed. Images can also be rotated, cropped to a set area or aspect ratio, and saved to a chosen path with an optional backup copy. Folders for fonts, backups and snapshots are defined in the integration settings, which are handled in the UI, and it works locally.
