Megapixel Cameras and Surveillance Software | User Manual |
HTTP Access
CBC (America) IP cameras employ proprietary massively-parallel image processing architecture, Megapixel WEB camera, and CBC Network Video are designed to provide low cost full motion high definition digital video across local area networks. Delivering over 45 Mpixels/sec of crystal-clear imagery, these state-of-the-art cameras represent cost-comparable but vastly superior alternative to low resolution analog and digital CCTV video.
CBC (America) cameras implement two distinct protocols, TFTP and HTTP that are used for image transmission. To support video-rate high quality image transmission CBC (America) cameras employ enhanced TFTP protocol allowing the cameras to deliver video at up to 55Mbits/s data rates. For developers wishing to gain video-rate access to the cameras from within their own applications, CBC (America) offers camera SDK for both Windows and Linux platforms. This SDK is implemented in a form of dynamically linked library and provides a level of abstraction from the protocol details, allowing the user application to employ simple commands such as GetImage() or SetParameter(). CBC (America) recommends the use of CBC SDK for the most efficient and flexible operation of the cameras.
However, the users who do not require full frame rates or those with limited software development resources may opt for accessing the cameras via HTTP protocol that provides video bandwidth comparable to other multi-megapixel products available on the market. This section lists basic HTTP commands supported by the CBC (America) cameras.
Camera Web Page
CBC cameras can be accessed from IE browser via the on-camera web page. The web page allows to change camera settings and to view live video by means of stored on-camera Java script. The web page is accessed by typing:
HTTP://ip_address or http://ip_address/index.html
In addition to the web page CBC cameras also implement html video container that can be used for incorporation of the camera url into user’s own html page. Video container is accessed from:
http://ip_address/livevideo
To incorporate the video container in the users html page, the user should add the following line in the body of the page:
<iframe
src="http://200.168.1.10/"width="800"height="600"marginheight="0"marginwidth="0"scrolling="no"></if
rame>
where parameters width and height specify the image size requested from the camera.
