lists the commands in URL format corresponding to the basic functions of the 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 (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 in italic 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. 
 
Syntax: 
http://<servername>/cgi-bin/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.
