C. URL commands of Network Camera 

For some customers who already have their own web site or web control application, 

Network Camera can be easily integrated through convenient URLs. This section lists 

the commands in URL format corresponding to the basic functions of Network 

Camera. 

Overview 

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 (output relay etc.) and to get and set internal parameter 

values. The image and CGI-requests are handled by the built in Web 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:
