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 Calibrate This feature re-calibrate the home position to the default center to recover the any displacement caused by external forces.

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, 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:///cgi-bin/[/...]/.
VIVOTEK http:///cgi-bin/viewer/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] http:///cgi-bin/operator/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] http:///cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[] [&…] where the should be [_] or [.] If you do not specify the any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only , the parameters of related group will be returned.
VIVOTEK 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.
VIVOTEK \r\n where is =\r\n [] Only the parameters that you set and readable will be returned. Example: Set the IP address of server to 192.168.0.123 Request: http://myserver/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi?network_ipaddress=192.168.0.123 Response: HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n Content-Type: text/html\r\n Context-Length: 33\r\n \r\n network.ipaddress=192.168.0.
