Getting snapshot via FTP

Administrators and users can log in to the Video Server FTP daemon to download the refreshed JPEG image. The user name and password are the same as for web access. The zero file size in file directory means it is captured by request.

Video 1	Video1.jpg
Video 2	Video2.jpg
Video 3	Video3.jpg
Video 4	Video4.jpg
Quad of all	Videoall.jpg

Video Embedded in Customers’ Homepage

In addition to the URL, some scripts should be added to download a plug-in for video images. The following example simply displays title text and a real-time video window in Internet Explorer or Netscape. The user name and password should be configured in advance. Those who are familiar with HTML can easily add more components or rewrite the code to create a more vivid and useful homepage.

<html>

<head><title>Video Server Sample Page</title></head> <body>

<h2>Video Server Sample Page</h2> <script language="JavaScript"> <!--
