Wget help - unable to download pic

There is a website providing traffic camera images that gets updated every few minutes.
My aim is to download the images over time to get a view of traffic conditions through the day.

Website: CHECKPOINT.SG
Image link, as taken from site source: http://www.checkpoint.sg/sg/2701

I tried downloading the file with the code below, however all I get is a picture of a kitten.

Code:
wget -q "http://www.checkpoint.sg/sg/2701" --referer="http://www.checkpoint.sg" ‐‐execute robots=off --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.63" --output-document="2701.jpg"

Anyone can help me on this?
