CamUniversal Manual
Part 7: The Webserver
The integrated webserver
of CamUniversal allows to control all cameras which are running
in CamUniversal. 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 CamUniversal.
If the webserver is running you could
send HTTP commands to CamUniversal. 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 CamUniversal.
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 CamUniversal
(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 CamUniversal (the displayed address is an example!)
http://192.168.110.100:81/ - then insert the port
which you have choosen in CamUniversal
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.
http://192.168.110.100:81/camera=1&resolution=160x120&quality=40 - if you want, you can
select the resolution of the received video picture. If you
don't select a resolution, the picture has the resolution
of the camera.
