Overview

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, Network Camera/Video server can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This document provides the supersets of URL commands V2 for 7000 series products.

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 (PTZ, 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 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.

Special note will be marked as RED words to take care.

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 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

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

They support Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which simplifies the installation process by enabling power and data to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable. This streamlines installation and reduces the need for additional cabling.

Further enhancing their adaptability, the cameras come equipped with a built-in web server, allowing users to manage settings and access video feeds remotely via a web browser. Additionally, the IP7139 and IP7138 support various cloud services, making it easier for users to store and access recordings from anywhere.
