Live and archived video

To get live video from Camera 1 send CAM|1|START_VIDEO|compress<1> message to port 900.
Here compress<> is compression ratio, from 0 to 5. Video frames will be received as a response to this message. The example of how to process incoming frames is given in demo kit available for download at the page of Intellect Software Integration Guide (HTTP API, IIDK, ActiveX).

To get archived video from Camera 1 send CAM|1|ARCH_FRAME_TIME|time<dd-mm-yy HH:MM:SS.FFF> (to specify start time for viewing the archive) or CAM|1|PLAY|compress<> (to get archived video. Archived video is handled the same way as live video) messages to port 900.

In order to get the full list of time intervals with video recordings for exact date, send CAM|id|ARCH_GET_INTERVALSREC|date<> message to port 900.  

The date<> parameter can take the date<dd-mm-yy|> value or it can be left blank. In the first case time intervals for specified date will be requested, in the second – dates for which there is an archive.

As a result the Event: CAM|id|SET_INTERVALSREC|intervals<>,date<> message is received.

The value of intervals<> parameter looks like this: intervals<begin1 end1\nbegin2 end2…\nbeginN endN|date1\ndate2…\ndateN\n>

The time of beginning and ending are one blank separated (0x20 code), intervals are line break separated ‘\n’(0x0A code).

• begin1, begin2, ... beginN – time of interval beginnings in the HH:MM:SS format (returns if the exact date was requested).
• end1, end2, ... endN – time of interval endings in the  HH:MM:SS format (returns if the exact date was requested).
• date1, date2, ... dateN – dates at which there are recordings in the archive (returns if the date field in the request is blank or there is no such field).

date<dd-mm-yy|> parameter represents date for which the intervals were requested or blank value (date<>) if dates for the entire period were requested.
