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. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built-in Web server.

2. Style Convention

In URL syntax and in descriptions of CGI parameters, text within angle brackets denotes content that is to be replaced with either a value or a string. When replacing the text string, the angle brackets should also 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 further down in the page.

URL syntax is denoted with the word "Syntax:" written in bold face followed by a box with the referenced syntax as shown below. For example, name of the server is written as <servername> and 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/viewer/video.jpg

Description of returned data is written with "Return:" in bold face followed by the returned data in a box. All data is returned in HTTP format, i.e., each line is separated with a Carriage Return and Line Feed (CRLF) printed as \r\n.

Return:

HTTP/1.0 <HTTP code> <HTTP text>\r\n

URL syntax examples are written with "Example:" in bold face followed by a short description and a light grey box with the example.

Example: request a single snapshot image

http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg

FD8133V, FD8134V specifications

The Vivotek FD8134V and FD8133V are advanced indoor fixed dome network cameras designed for surveillance applications where clarity and durability are essential. Both models incorporate cutting-edge technologies to ensure high-quality video performance and reliable security monitoring.

The FD8134V features a 1.0 Megapixel sensor that delivers crisp, clear images at a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. This camera excels in low-light conditions, thanks to its built-in IR illuminators, which provide effective visibility even in total darkness up to 15 meters. Additionally, it supports H.264 video compression, reducing file sizes while maintaining sharp image quality, which is crucial for bandwidth conservation and storage efficiency.

On the other hand, the FD8133V, while similar in design, has a slightly lower resolution of 1.3 Megapixels, providing a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Despite this, it still employs H.264 compression, ensuring efficient data management. Both models support multiple streaming options, enabling users to view video feeds in real-time from different devices.

The robust design of these cameras is another key feature. They come equipped with a weather-proof housing, making them suitable for various indoor environments. The FD8134V even boasts an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring that it remains operational even in challenging conditions.

A shared characteristic of the FD8134V and FD8133V is their support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by allowing a single cable for both power and data transmission. This not only streamlines deployment but also enhances reliability by reducing potential points of failure.

Both cameras include advanced motion detection capabilities, enabling automatic alerts when activity is detected within the camera’s field of view. This feature can be invaluable for monitoring sensitive areas and responding swiftly to potential security breaches.

Moreover, Vivotek’s user-friendly interface allows for easy configuration and management of the cameras. With options for cloud connectivity and integration with various video management systems, users can seamlessly incorporate these cameras into their existing surveillance setups.

In conclusion, the Vivotek FD8134V and FD8133V offer a combination of high-resolution imaging, advanced technology, and robust construction, making them ideal choices for comprehensive indoor security monitoring. Their flexibility, efficiency, and ease of use provide significant advantages for both residential and commercial applications, ensuring that users can maintain a vigilant watch over their properties.
