Optional parameters for Images and JPEG Streams

Various settings can be set on demand.

Video Size

 

note: height and width are not available for screen shots

 

Picture border

you may request a picture with a frame around it. The image will be scaled to fit the remaining space.

  • borderwidth=w
    w = width of the border in pixels. Values 0-99 are allowed
  • bordercolor=RrGgBb?
    RGB value of the border color. Example: bordercolor=FF0000 for a red border

Examples:

black border http://localhost:8080/current.jpg?borderwidth=5&bordercolor=000000
light blue http://localhost:8080/current.jpg?borderwidth=2&bordercolor=8888FF

Picture border is only available for current.jpg, not for screen shots or motion JPEG streams.

 

Frame rate

all JPEG streams can stream at a selectable frame rate. The maximum frame rate is defined for the video device in Devices

To set the frame rate on demand, define the fps parameter.

Examples:

http://localhost:8080/current.mjpg?fps=2
http://localhost:8080/screen.mjpg?fps=0.5
http://localhost:8080/motion.mjpg?fps=15

 

Selection for replay of stored shots

to filter picture replay, use the filter parameter:

Example:

http://localhost:8080/motion.mjpg?filter=20051019*
this will show pictures taken on Oct 19th 2005 (if pictures were save with time based names)

Combine parameters

to use more than one parameter in a request, combine them using &

Example:

http://localhost:8080/screen.mjpg?size=640x480&fps=1
this will show your desktop sized to 640x480 and refreshed once per second
