Help with CGI command

[ScottRennie]

I have an IPS webcam which responds correctly to PTZ commands such as /cgi-bin/hi3510/ptzctrl.cgi?-step=0&-act=up in the camera commands.
It also creates a snapshot (on the webcam filesystem) if I use the command http://192.168.0.11/cgi-bin/hi3510/snap.cgi and I get a reply
var path="/tmpfs/snap_tmpfs/20170115/IMG001/IMG_chn0_TIMER_MNG_20170115154958_001.jpg" if I use Internet Explorer directly.

If I put /cgi-bin/hi3510/snap.cgi in the Camara Type Snapshot Path, I get an error in the log "The snapshot request sent to NetCam002 Failed: parameter is not valid"

If it works in IE, why won't it work in UltraNetcam? Any suggestions?

Cheers

The snapshot command should return a jpg image and not the location of where to get the image. Does the camera support a URL that outputs the jpg image directly?

Not sure - I have managed to find the PTZ commands using a combination of Googling, sniffing the web traffic and trial and error!

Any suggestions?

Found it at last. The URL that works in IE is http://192.168.0.11/cgi-bin/hi3510/snap.cgi?-getpic

When I reduce it to /cgi-bin/hi3510/snap.cgi?-getpic and put it the camera SnapShot path I still get a parameter error in the log. I presume it's the dash that's the problem. I have triad all sorts of options, (but in IE) it doesn#t work with anything else like ? etc.

Any ideas?

Ah... I think this returns the image in an HTTM page and not a JPG.

Presume that means I cant use this webcam? Or is there a way using the snap saved on the webcam?

If I understand the question correctly:
I use a Foscam IP camera to grab a realtime picture and store that in a HS3 html folder (btw: I don't use the Netcam plugin not anymore, so it could be another location as well I guess)

I request this via an event with the immediately script option:

&hs.GetURLImage("http:\camip:camport","\snapshot.cgi?user=** ***&pwd=*****", TRUE, 80, "\html\netcam\frontdoor.jpg")

Cheers Rutger. My problem is that I can't find a CGI command for the Webcam, but the one I did find created a HTML page with the image embedded. I don't know if this is what I need or do I need a different command/function. If I can't do what is required, I will have a go at your solution.

I can create an image which is stored on the Webcam at the location above - can I get that image and import it into UltraNetCam?

Does anyone know the CGI command that will do what I need?

Thanks for your help
