AXIS 200+ Users Manual Section 5: Using the AXIS 200+

Common Gateway Interface (CGI)

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing

external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web

servers.

A CGI program within the AXIS 200+ allows users to define special

snapshot features within an embedded URL request. These requests

are generated in the form of query strings that are appended to the

chosen URL of your AXIS 200+. You can also use CGI parameters for

writing data to the AXIS 200+ serial port.

Snapshot Requests

For snapshot requests, use this syntax:

Example

Request a fullsize JPEG snapshot from the AXIS 200+ with host

name

mycam where the image contains a clock reference and is

rotated by 270 degrees.

CGI Parameters for

Operations

Note:

❏ If you have not selected the HTTP driver it is possible to force

output by defining
