INTELLINET ACTIVE NETWORKING 550710 – CGI Command Reference
February 17 2004
CGI Command Reference V 1.3a for Network IP Camera
This documentation explains the usage of CGI commands which are supported by Network IP
Camera 550710.
There are five different categories of CGI commands:
1) Still image request command
2) Motion image request command
3) GP_OUT Setting commands
4) Setting Commands / Remote Programming
5) Inquiry commands / Display of current settings & Alert State of Digital IO Connector
This reference is based on Firmware Version 4.11 (Released: February 17 2004).
You can get the latest firmware version here:

INTELLINET ACTIVE NETWORKING 550710 – CGI Command Reference
1. Still image request command
Use this command when you need 1 data segment of JPEG file as a still image. The command
returns a small HTML page which links to the JPG.
Syntax 1.
http://camera_ip/image.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&img_size=<value>
* It’s necessary to place “&” between each <parameter>=<name>
• id=<value>
Valid username (account must have viewing rights)
• passwd=<value>
Valid password (account must have viewing rights)
• img_size=<value>
It is possible to set the image size by setting “img_size” parameter.
If not specified the image size currently programmed in the camera will be returned.
Value Image Size
VGA 640 * 480
QVGA 320 * 240
QCIF 160 * 120
Attention:
This command does not return a JPG image, but a HTML page linking to the image.
To get the JPG image only you can use the following SYNTAX:
Syntax:
http://camera_ip/jpg/image.jpg
The "direct image access function" can be activated and configured in the camera´s system configuration.

2. Motion image request command
Use this command to retrieve a motion image. This command offers two kinds of mode. One is
Applet (JAVA), the other is ActiveX (Windows MSIE). It is possible to control "frame rate" and
"image size", and to activate the "firewall option" and "timestamp option".
Syntax 1.
http://camera_ip/image.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&mode=<value>&fr=<value>
&img_size=<value>&bf=<value>×tamp=<value>
• id=<value>
Valid username (account must have viewing rights)
• passwd=<value>
Valid password (account must have viewing rights)
•
mode=<value>
• fr=<value>
Controls the frame rate (frames/second).
Possible values are:
1, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30.
• img_size=<value>
If not specified the image size currently programmed in the camera will be returned.
• bf=<value>
Controls the "behind firewall" parameter. Possible values are:
0 = behindfirewall = false (default value)
1 = behindfirewall = true
If not specified the default value will be returned.
• timestamp=<value>
Controls the "timestamp" parameter to display the date/time information in the live image.
Possible values are:
off = no timestamp
on = timestamp = on (default value)
If not specified the default value will be returned.

3. GP_OUT Setting commands
These commands are to be used to control the GPIO (General Purpose I/O) output port of the
camera.
Syntax:
http://camera_ip/gp_out.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&out=<value>&interval=<value>
• id=<value>
Valid username (account must have administrator rights)
• passwd=<value>
Valid password (account must have administrator rights)
• out=<value>
Activates the Output port by using the value "on".
• interval=<value>
Specifies the time in seconds the output port should be activated.
Possible values are: 0 – 255
Example:
http://camera_ip/gp_out.cgi?id=guest&passwd=guest&out=on&interval=20
Camera activates the GPIO output for a period of 20 seconds.

4. Setting Commands / Remote Programming
These commands are to be used to set various settings for the WEBVIEW. It is possible to
transmit several parameters at one time only when they belong to the same CGI name
(*_set.cgi).
Syntax:
http://camera_ip/*_set.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>¶meter=<value>
There are six different CGI Commands controlling different aspects:
1) Image setting command (image_set.cgi)
Control Bightness, Contrast, Saturation and other image parameters.
2) Network setting command (network_set.cgi)
Change the IP Address, Ports, SMTP Server, ....
3) Event setting command (event_set.cgi)
Setup the Event Trigger Configuration remotely.
4) Time setting command (time_set.cgi)
Define the time server, time zone, daylight saving time, ...
5) System setting command (system_set.cgi)

PTZ Camera 550734
6. PTZ Control command (ptz_webctl.cgi)
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=<value>
cmd=<value>
Use one of the following values:
up
down
left
right
zoom_in
zoom_out
focus_near
focus_far
stop
In order to move the camera via te CGI commands, you need to send two commands to the camera:
Example: Move the camera up.
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=up
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=stop
Example: Move the camera left.
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=left
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=stop
Example: ZOOM the camera in
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=zoom_in
http://camera_ip/ptz_webctl.cgi?id=<value>&passwd=<value>&cmd=stop
Each DIRECTION command needs to be followed by a STOP command. If you do not send the
STOP commend, the camera keeps on moving until it reaches the physical limit of the
PTZ unit (like all the way up, all the way down).
