## 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.
