DLink Internet Camera
The DLink Internet Camera module provides an interface to the DLink camera series. This module is
similar to the HTTP Read in that it provides an easier interface
to the DCS900 and also
provides pan/tilt capabilities for the other DLink cameras. Note that when accessing cameras over
the Internet there can be significant delays when panning or tilting the camera. Keep in mind the
delay when using those buttons otherwise you will overreact the movement.
Interface
Instructions
1. IP Address - specify the IP address of the camera that you would like to connect to. Note
that if you are using a different port number than port 80 simply append that port number
to the hostname using a : (ex localhost:8080).
2. Username - the username for HTTP authentication access.
3. Password - the password for HTTP authentication access.
4. Refresh Freq - how quickly the system should request new images.
5. Camera Type - select which camera type you are connecting to. For
disabled cameras (DCS 5300, DCS 3220 and DCS 1000) please contact us
with a Internet accessible IP address to such a camera. Having access will allow us to QA
the interface and enable that functionality.
6. Manual Position - use the buttons to move the camera as appropriate. The red
center button will move the camera home.
7. Zoom - manual zooming
8. Focus - manual focusing.
9. Iris - manual iris change.
10. Movement Variable - the variable that contains the commands that will
move or change the camera attributes. The following values within the variable will
create the following movements:
0 = stop
1 = up
2 = down
4 = left
8 = right
16 = home
32 = tele-zoom
64 = wide-zoom
128 = near focus
256 = far focus
512 = open iris
1024 = close iris
11. Speed - manual or variable setting of pan, tilt, zoom and focus speeds. or variable zooming. Either select a manual speed from the dropdown or
specify a variable that will contain the required speed. Note that the valid values are from -5 to 5. Values
higher or lower will be truncated appropriately. You can use the variables to specify speeds in order to
quickly make coarse or fine adjustments to the position of the camera instead of successive sequential
small movements.
