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

The camera utilizes Vivotek's Smart Stream II technology, which optimizes bandwidth efficiency by compressing video streams without compromising image quality. This feature is particularly useful for installations where bandwidth is a concern, allowing for seamless video transmission even in constrained networks.

Another notable characteristic includes the camera's advanced WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) technology. With WDR Pro, the IP8364-C effectively balances light levels, ensuring visibility in environments with varying lighting conditions. This is crucial for locations exposed to bright sunlight or significant shadows.

In addition, the IP8364-C comes with built-in IR illuminators that enable night vision capabilities, allowing it to capture clear images in total darkness. This makes it ideal for 24/7 surveillance, ensuring that users have continuous visibility regardless of the time of day.

Equipped with a weatherproof housing rated at IP66, the Vivotek IP8364-C is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Its rugged construction ensures reliability and longevity in outdoor settings, protecting it from dust, rain, and extreme temperatures.

Furthermore, the camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by requiring only a single cable for both power and data transmission. This feature not only reduces installation costs and efforts but also enhances flexibility in camera placement.

Overall, the Vivotek IP8364-C is a feature-rich camera that combines high resolution, advanced technologies, and durable construction. It caters to various surveillance needs, making it a reliable solution for both commercial and residential users seeking enhanced security and peace of mind.
