+## Usage Examples
+
+### Preview Streaming
+
+Supplying no additional command will start streaming a preview video stream to your local system.
+To view the video use the `camera.sdp` file and open it in a compatible player like VLC.
+The stream is a RTP stream sent to Port 5220 on localhost containing H.264 data in preview resolution as AVP Type 99.
+
+```
+ipcamera <Camera IP>
+```
+
+### Shooting a still picture
+
+To shoot a still picture and save it to SD-Card run the subcommand `still`.
+
+```
+ipcamera still <Camera IP>
+```
+
+### Recording Video
+
+To record full resolution video to SD-Card use the subcommands `record` and `stop`.
+
+```
+# Start recording Video
+ipcamera record <Camera IP>
+
+# Stop recording Video
+ipcamera stop <Camera IP>
+```
+
+### Fetch the list of files on the SD-Card and download the latest file
+
+The camera can provide a list of files stored on the SD-Card, the `ipcamera` tool currently allows the download of the latest file in the list.
+
+```
+# List files
+ipcamera ls <Camera IP>
+
+# Download latest file
+ipcamera fetch <Camera IP>
+```
+
+### Send a RAW packet to the Camera
+
+It's possible to send RAW commands to the camera to test new commands and help reverse engineer the protocol.
+
+```
+ipcamera cmd <RAW Command and Payload in HEX> <Camera IP>
+
+# Example (Take a still image)
+ipcamera cmd 00A038 192.168.1.1
+```
+
+
+## Limitations
+
+On all tested cameras, there can only be one client connected to the camera at a time. This means that to take a picture you have to stop a client that is currently running a preview stream. To help with that issue the command line client will open a socket in the future that can accept commands to control the camera while previewing the video.
