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.
Page 109: Set Server Parameter Values
VIVOTEK http://<servername>/cgi-bin/operator/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] http://<servername>/cgi-bin/admin/getparam.cgi?[<parameter>] [&<parameter>…] Where the <parameter> should be <group>[_<name>] or <group>[.<name>]. If you do not specify any parameters, all the parameters on the server will be returned. If you specify only <group>, the parameters of the related group will be returned. client When querying parameter values, the current parameter values are returned.
