Capture a photo or video from a node's camera

nodes & devices

// what it does

openclaw nodes camera snap --node <id> grabs a still; --facing front or back picks the lens and --max-width/--quality bound the output. openclaw nodes camera clip --duration 10s records a short video. The node app must be in the foreground for either to work.

// shell

$ openclaw nodes camera snap --node my-phone --facing front
$ openclaw nodes camera clip --node my-phone --duration 10s

// gotcha

A backgrounded phone returns NODE_BACKGROUND_UNAVAILABLE — camera and screen capture only work with the node app foregrounded, and camera.snap needs an explicit gateway.nodes.allowCommands opt-in.
