what the fastest way to get snapshot from ip-cam

Question

I have an IP-cam that i want to get a snapshot from it when event get fired.

I have tried to get images from it using an option in it's firmware but it's taking much time about 4-11 sec.

I need another way to get a snapshot from it using c# code. I'm developing app using c# 3.5 OS windows server 2008

Any sample is very welcome and I will try it now. Thanks in advance.
