Chapter 3. HTTP Access
Non-Panoramic Cameras
This chapter describes the HTTP access of CBC (America) cameras MP1, MP2,
MP3, MP3-DN, and MP5. HTTP access of panoramic cameras MP8D and MP8P
are described in the next chapter.
CBC (America) cameras support two protocols, TFTP and HTTP. TFTP protocol
is recommended for application scenarios where high quality video at full frame
rate is preferred. The drawback (if any) is that the implementation of TFTP
protocols usually requires significant engineering efforts. Although CBC
(America) provides a manufacturer SDK which makes it easy and simple to
interface MP cameras, there are still a significant number of applications that do
not favor the use of TFTP protocols. The reason for not using TFTP protocol
varies. For example, certain applications simply do not require full frame rate
operation; some applications are limited by the availability of time and/or
software development resources.
CBC (America) cameras support access of MP cameras via HTTP protocol. The
performance in terms of data rate is comparable to other multi-megapixel
products available on the market. This chapter explains the usage of HTTP
commands supported by CBC (America) cameras of model MP1, MP2, MP3,
MP3-DN, & MP5.
Camera Web Page
MP cameras can be accessed from IE browser via the on-camera web page. The
web page allows changing camera settings and to view live video by means of
Java script stored in cameras non-volatile memory. The web page is accessed
by typing in web-browser:
HTTP://ip_address or http://ip_address/index.html
In addition to the web page MP cameras also implement html video container
that can be used for incorporation of the camera URL into users own html page.
Video container is accessed from:
http://ip_address/livevideo
