Before utilizing this feature, it is suggested that the user install a log-recording tool to receive system log messages from the Network Camera. An example is Kiwi Syslog Daemon. Visit http://www.kiwisyslog. com/kiwi-syslog-daemon-overview/.
VIVOTEK View Parameters Advanced Mode The View Parameters page lists the entire system’s parameters in alphabetical order. If you need technical assistance, please provide the information listed on this page.
VIVOTEK Maintenance This chapter explains how to restore the Network Camera to factory default, upgrade firmware version, etc. Reboot This feature allows you to reboot the Network Camera, which takes about one minute to complete. When completed, the live video page will be displayed in your browser. The following message will be displayed during the rebooting process.
VIVOTEK Export / Upload Files Advanced Mode This feature allows you to Export / Upload daylight saving time rules, custom language files, and setting backup files. Export daylight saving time configuration file: Click to set the start and end time of DST. Follow the steps below to export: 1. In the Export files column, click Export to export the daylight saving time configuration file from the Network Camera. 2. A file download dialog will pop up as shown below.
VIVOTEK Upload daylight saving time rule: Click Browse… and specify the XML file to upload. If the incorrect date and time are assigned, you will see the following warning message when uploading the file to the Network Camera. The following message is displayed when attempting to upload an incorrect file format. Export language file: Click to export language strings. VIVOTEK provides nine languages: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, 日本語, Português, 簡体中文, and 繁體中文.
VIVOTEK The following message is displayed when the upgrade has succeeded. Reboot system now!! This connection will close. The following message is displayed when you have selected an incorrect firmware file. Starting firmware upgrade... Do not power down the server during the upgrade. The server will restart automatically after the upgrade is completed. This will take about 1 - 5 minutes.
VIVOTEK Appendix URL Commands for the Network Camera 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 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 Syntax: http:///cgi-bin/anonymous/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=][&return=] http:///cgi-bin/viewer/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=] [&return=] http:///cgi-bin/operator/setparam.cgi? = [&=…][&update=] [&return=] http:///cgi-bin/admin/setparam.
