CGI Parameters of the MOBOTIX Camera

To retrieve images of the camera directly from the integrated web server, you can use one of the following HTTP commands:

http://<camera_IP>/record/current.jpg

Retrieves a camera image according to the current image settings. You cannot specify any additional parameters. This HTTP API supports so-called HTTP Keep Alive connections to optimize the retrieval of several images per second. Note that the best image rates are obtained using the faststream.jpg API (see Parameters for faststream.jpg).
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/image.jpg

Retrieves a camera image using additional image parameters. For example, the following command will display an image from the right camera lens, size 320x240 mm with an image quality of 60%:
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/image.jpg?camera=right&size=320x240&quality=60

The saved configuration is not changed.

Appending ?help to the end of the command will display the corresponding help page:
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/image.jpg?help

See Parameters for image.jpg for additional information.
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/faststream.jpg (guest access)
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/faststream.jpg (user access)

Retrieves the live stream from the camera using additional image parameters. For example, the following command will show the live stream as M-JPEG from the camera in a generated HTML page:
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/faststream.jpg?stream=full&html

Appending ?help to the end of the command will display the corresponding help page:
http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/faststream.jpg?help

For additional information on the parameters for guest and user access, see Parameters for faststream.jpg.
http://<camera_IP>/control/event.jpg

Provides access the camera's events and allows adding additional parameters. The following request, for example, delivers the last event image of the camera:
http://<camera_IP>/control/event.jpg?sequence=head

Appending ?help to the end of the command will display the corresponding help page: http://<camera_IP>/control/event.jpg?help

See Parameters for event.jpg for additional information.

Notes:

The CGI commands listed here are not available for Basic and Web models.
If MxPEG has been activated in the camera, the frame rate will be reduced for ten seconds if an image is pulled from the camera using one of the image profiles.

Parameters for image.jpg

Note:	Please note that the contents of this frame will only be displayed if the API right in the Group Access Control Lists is publicly accessible or the group of your user name has this right.

Except for the help and current parameters, you can combine any number of parameters in any order.

Parameters for faststream.jpg

Guest Access:	The URL `http://<camera_IP>/cgi-bin/faststream.jpg` provides guest access to the live stream. For additional information on how to set the maximum and preset image refresh rate, see the Start Page help page.
User Access:	The URL `http://<camera_IP>/control/faststream.jpg` provides user access to the live stream. For additional information on how to set the maximum and preset image refresh rate, see the Start Page help page. This access has been optimized for high image rates and thus delivers a video stream in MxPEG format, which has to be decoded accordingly. Please download the MOBOTIX SDK from the MOBOTIX website www.mobotix.com, Support section, for detailed instructions.
Note:	Please note that the contents of this frame will only be displayed if the API right in the Group Access Control Lists is publicly accessible or the group of your user name has this right.
