Part 7: The Webserver

The Webserver

The integrated webserver of CamPermanent allows to control all cameras which are running in CamPermanent. The webserver sends the video pictures from all cameras by HTTP request. Additional the webserver allows to start an external program.

To run the webserver you have to start the webserver in CamPermanent.

If the webserver is running you could send HTTP commands to CamPermanent. These commands are interpreted by the webserver. For your convenience there are the following html sample documents included "cam_control.htm", "cam_view1.htm", "cam_view2.htm", "cam_view3.htm". These documents are using JAVA scripts to send the webserver commands to CamPermanent.
Open the documents with your Internet browser and see how they work. Try "cam_control.htm" first, which supports to input direct the IP address of your PC. Insert the IP address and port, which are shown in CamPermanent (see above). You can open cam_control.htm on your local PC, from a different PC in your LAN or upload it to your ISP webspace and try it from the Internet (Live Camera Sample).

More information about setting up the integrated webserver can be found in the CrazyPixels Forum here and in the First Steps!

Here are all possible commands listed:

Picture receiving:

http://192.168.110.100 - first insert the IP address of the PC running CamPermanent (the displayed address is an example!)
http://192.168.110.100:81/ - then insert the port which you have choosen in CamPermanent
http://192.168.110.100:81/camera=1 - then insert the camera number you would control, 1 = the first camera
http://192.168.110.100:81/camera=1&quality=40 - then insert the quality of the received video picture. If you want to receive the camera pictures in short intervals it is better to select a low quality.
