This looks like an ONVIF camera.  Most of these offer screenshots in
JPEG format, so you can use curl or wget to download a single frame as
a .jpg when you need it.

Is there a reason why you don't want to use the screenshot URL?

It looks like it might be trying to probe the input to figure out what
format it's in, since you can stream multiple codecs over RTSP.

You could try messing with the -probesize option, but I'd only do this
if there's some reason why the screenshot URL is unusable.
