Title: how can I configure frame rate, resolution and PTZ with command?
Post by: xiangkan on December 01, 2011, 12:07:32 AM: I want to configure the feature( frame rate, resolution and PTZ etc.) through the HTTP API .

for example: http://*.*.*.*/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard

how can I configure frame rate, resolution and PTZ with command?

Is there the specification/manual for command list?

Post by: amandasmith on December 05, 2011, 10:44:49 PM: If you have "Camera control preset locations" set for your Dlink camera, you can change the left right up down zoom buttons (i changed the zoom buttons since I don't use zoom) to this command /cgi-bin/recall.cgi?recall=***** (eg: if your preset location is "Window", they it should be /cgi-bin/recall.cgi?recall=Window)

If you want autopan, then it should be /cgi-bin/camctrl.cgi?auto=pan. But somehow I don't like or use autopan

If you want auto patrol, then it should be /cgi-bin/camctrl.cgi?auto=patrol. Kind of nice since auto patrol goes to each preset locations. It scans multiple preset locations automatically.

Is there no CGI specification about these kind of commands(resolution, frame rate, PTZ......)?

Not that I have been able to find. Most are vendor-specific, and I have not found it for D-Link equipment...

I have posted this elsewhere, but the following html code will show streaming video without password requirements (fill in your ip-address of the camera, and the Device Serial No, this code comes from the camera web homepage):

<html>
<body>
   <table border=0 >
   <tr>
   <td align="center">
<APPLET name="cvcs" CODEBASE="http://192.168.x.y/" CODE="xplug.class" WIDTH=640 HEIGHT=480>

<param name="RotateAngle" value=0>
<param name="PreviewFrameRate" value=2>

   </td>
...Repeat above for multiple...
