URL Commands of the Network Camera

Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/

Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section specifies the external HTTP

based application programming interface. The HTTP based camera interface provides the functionality

to request a single image, to control camera functions and to get and set internal parameter values. The

image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text within angle brackets denotes a content

that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string also the angle

brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the name for the server, denoted with

<servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is replaced with the string myserver in the URL

syntax example, also below.

URL syntax' are written with the “Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the referred

syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is intended to be

replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g., "mywebcam" or "thecam.

adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g., 192.168.0.220.

Syntax:

http://<servername>/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data

returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP is line separated with a Carriage Return and Line

Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return:

HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box

with the example.

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg
