Shortcuts to some IP Camera functions

12:31 PM
The following is a selection of CGI functions that can be used with Foscam ip cameras. They are issued through the URL line of a browser and can be used as convenient shortcuts to features that are not ideally accessible in the original UI, like the network activity led, which is located on a page that requires a reboot while the function itself could be activated instantly.


http://[ipcam]/set_misc.cgi?led_mode=2
this will turn off the green activity led instantly.
The valid values are as follow:
led_mode=0 - the green led blinks only once connected.
led_mode=1 - the green led blinks while searching for a connection and when connected.
led_mode=2 - the green led is always off.

See here for the meaning of the different blinking rates.

http://[ipcam]/set_misc.cgi?ptz_center_onstart=0
the camera won't auto-rotate any more when restarting, so you won't need to re-position it any longer upon rebooting.
 
http://[ipcam]/set_misc.cgi?ptz_auto_patrol_interval=30
This function is currently not implemented in the user interface and  instructs the camera  to start a patrol at a defined interval, here 30 seconds.
The patrol type is defined by this other command: 
http://[ipcam]/set_misc.cgi?ptz_auto_patrol_type=1
Possible values: 0: None; 1: horizontal; 2: vertical; 3: Horizontal + Vertical

http://[ipcam]/set_misc.cgi?ptz_patrol_rate= 20
The value provided will defined how fast the camera will rotate on patrol, here 20 is the default.
Fastest speed = 0. Slowest speed = 100.

http://[ipcam]/get_misc.cgi
Returns all the current values  for the functions above.

http://[ipcam]/get_log.cgi
Displays the visits log

http://[ipcam]/get_params.cgi
Returns the complete configuration of the camera.

All the commands can be chained in the same url by using & as separator.
