Hikvision Still Image - Telegram

I have an automation that would be used to send a still image from my Hikvision camera when motion is detected. Motion is handled by the Hikvision binary sensor.

- id: '1573838226495'
  alias: Line Crossed
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.study_camera_line_crossing
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      caption: Motion Detected
      disable_notification: false
      target: 'xxxxxxxx'
      url: http://admin:XXXX@10.0.0.21/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture
    service: telegram_bot.send_photo

The automation works fantastically when triggered manually, within a few seconds i get the telegram notification with my image.
When the motion alert is triggered under normal situation, i get the below error:

Status code 503 (retry #1) loading http://admin:XXXX@10.0.0.21/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture

I am unsure where to start checking next for a solution.
