VIVOTEK Appendix URL Commands for the Network Camera 1. Overview For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, the Network Camera/Video Server can be easily integrated through URL syntax. This section specifies the external HTTP-based application programming interface. The HTTP-based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, control camera functions (PTZ, output relay etc.), and get and set internal parameter values.
VIVOTEK 3. 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, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file extension .cgi is required. Syntax: http:///cgi-bin/[/...]/.
VIVOTEK [&…] http:///cgi-bin/operator/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] http:///cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] Where the should be [_] or [.]. If you do not specify any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only , the parameters of the related group will be returned. When querying parameter values, the current parameter values are returned.
VIVOTEK 6. Set Server Parameter Values Note: The access right depends on the URL directory. Method: GET/POST Syntax: http:///cgi-bin/anonymous/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=][&return=] http:///cgi-bin/viewer/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=] [&return=] http:///cgi-bin/operator/setparam.
