Requesting Images from Panoramic Cameras AV8180/85 & 8360/65

The AV8360/AV8180/AV8365/AV8185 camera models support two types of image requests: individual JPEG

image requests (image or img.jpg) and continuous MJPEG stream requests (mjpeg). In addition, models

AV8365/AV8185 support h.264 streaming using RTSP/RTP protocol. The maximum number of supported

simultaneous requests of single images or mjpeg streams is eight for AV8180 and AV8360, and up to twelve

in AV8185 and AV8365.

NOTE: Even though the camera supports multi-user access, the maximum frame rate is achieved only when

there is a single request arriving to each channel at any given time.

1. Requesting individual JPEG images

1.1 Requesting images using explicit parameter list within the HTTP string:

http://camera_ip/image[<channel>]?res=(half|full)&x0=(0..1600)&y0=(0..1200)&x1=(32..1600)&y1=(3

2..1200)&quality=(1..21)&doublescan=(0|1)&[id=(0..99999999999999)]&[ssn=(0..65535)]

Where:

Res can have value of either “half” or “full” and specifies whether the camera should

decimate the image by a factor of 2 in each dimension or display the full resolution.
