C. URL commands of Network Camera
For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network
Camera can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists the commands in
URL format corresponding to the basic functions of Network Camera.

Overview

This section specifies the external HTTP based application programming interface. The HTTP
based camera interface provides the functionality to request a single image, to control camera
functions (output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter values. The image and
CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web server.

Style convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, a text in italic within angle brackets
denotes a content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text
string also the angle brackets shall be replaced. An example of this is the description of the
name for the server, denoted with <servername> in the URL syntax description below, that is
replaced with the string myserver in the URL syntax example, also below.
URL syntax' are written with the "Syntax:" word written in bold face followed by a box with the
referred syntax as seen below. The name of the server is written as <servername>. This is
intended to be replaced with the name of the actual server. This can either be a name, e.g.,
"mywebcam" or "thecam.adomain.net" or the associated IP number for the server, e.g.,
192.168.0.220.
Syntax:
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/video.jpg
Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data
in a box. All data returned as HTTP formatted, i.e., starting with the string HTTP is line separated
with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.
Return:
HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n
