I spent some time trying to get snapshot url, trying any options but was not working with C500 / I51DM, got xml saying "Device busy".
To get this working I had to upgrade firmware to HIK version IPC_E7S_EN_STD_5.5.800_210816 using SDK ClientDemoEn.exe.
I can now see a jpg snapshot using this url on firefox : http://login:pass@ip/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture

Our of interest what firmware were you on BEFORE changing firmware?
I am trying to add the camera to home assistant and its saying ONVIF is disabled.
My c500's are on firmware: V5.7.2 build 221202
When adding them to home assistant I get this message:

Then logged onto the IP of the camera itself & under:
Network: -> Advanced: -> Integration Protocol: -> Enable (ONVIP = Open Network Video Interface Protocol) -> add user & password: -> Save

Hello, I got a new C500 and have the same issue. What would be a valid snapshot URL and the firmware version?
I have tried many different and do not work:
snapshot.jpg
snapshot.jpg?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]
snapshot.jpg?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]&strm=[CHANNEL]
and do not work...
