C. URL commands of the security network camera
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera can
be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists the commands in URL format corresponding
to the basic functions of Network Camera.
Overview
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 (output relay etc.)
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 in italic 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/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/video.jpg
General CGI URL syntax and parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators.
When the CGI request includes internal camera parameters, the internal parameters must be written exactly
as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in function related directories
under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension of the CGI is required.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/<subdir>[/<subdir>...]/<cgi>.<ext>
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Setting digital output #1 to high
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/setparam.cgi?do1=h
Get server parameter values
Note: This request require administrator access
Method: GET/POST
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>]
[&<parameter>...]
