HTTP command server

The desktop versions of the Camera Suite app ship with a built in HTTP command server. The server receives simple GET commands, for instance from a webbrowser or a shell script, and triggers the appropriate actions on the camera.

 

Server commands

The command syntax is as follows:

http://<IP>:<PORT>?key=<COMMAND NAME>&value=<COMMAND VALUE>
  • <IP>: The IP of the machine where Camera Suite is running.
  • <PORT>: The server port specified in Camera Suite.
  • <COMMAND NAME>: The command name.
  • <COMMAND VALUE>: The command parameter.
