Chapter 2. API

1. Grabbing a Single Frame

Retrieving a single frame from the camera is the simplest and may well be all you wish to do.

1.1. Request

There are two methods of requesting a single frame.

1. Current Frame. Send a single HTTP request to

   http://<host>[:port]/Jpeg/CamImg.jpg

2. Indexed Frame. The camera appears to buffer a number of images (I have no idea how many) which may be retrieved using an index number. Send a single HTTP request to

   http://<host>[:<port>]/Jpeg/CamImg<ms since 1970><random number><frame index>.jpg

   The current frame index may be retrieved using the GetStatus command (see below).

1.2. Response

The camera will respond with the JPEG data. The Content-Type of the response will be image/jpeg.
