Displaying Live Video from a Specified Angle as Still Pictures

By specifying the camera angle as a parameter in the HTML code beforehand, you can display the picture from a specified camera angle. The example below displays a still picture shot with the camera panned right by 40° and tilted down 10°.

GetStillImage Parameters

Parameter	Description
	Specifies the camera pan angle. “p” is a 1° unit, and “pan” is a 0.01° unit.
p/pan	For example if the camera pans right 20°, then p is 20 and pan is 2000. If this
	parameter is omitted, the camera pan angle is not controlled.
t/tilt	Specifies the camera tilt angle. “t” is a 1° unit, and “tilt” is a 0.01° unit. If this
	parameter is omitted, the camera tilt angle is not controlled.
	Specifies camera zoom. “z” is ten times the zoom ratio of the widest angle, and
z/zoom	“zoom” is the view angle in 0.01° units (horizontal direction). If this parameter is
	omitted, camera zoom is not controlled.
	Specifies camera backlight compensation. When this parameter is set to on, the
b/back_light	picture captured will be bright and when this parameter is set to off, the picture
	captured will be dark. If this parameter is omitted, camera backlight compensation
	is not controlled.
delay	Waiting time until camera focus is stabilized (in milliseconds).
	Specified in the range 0 to 10000.
	Specifies how errors are dealt with. When “skip_on_error” is specified, the process
	will be continued. When “quit_on_error” is specified, the process will be aborted.
option	The following errors can occur: failure to acquire camera control right, loss of
	camera control, camera selection errors and camera control errors. To omit, the
	default value is “quit_on_error”.
seq	Allows any number (sequence number) to be specified to avoid displaying old
	still pictures (numeric value).
	Specifies picture display size. This can be set to 640 ⋅ 480, 320 ⋅ 240, or 160 ⋅
v/image_size	120. The formats for specifying “v” and “image_size” are different: “v” specifies
	the horizontal dimension only and uses the format “v=640”, for instance, while
	“image_size” specifies both horizontal and vertical dimensions and uses the
	format “image_size=320 ⋅ 240”, for instance.
q/quality	Specifies the picture quality of the pictures. Use an integer between 1 and 99 to
	specify. If omitted, the value set in the VB-C10/VB-C10R is used.

Note

If old still pictures are displayed, you can prevent this recurring by specifying a

sequence number in the seq parameter.
