3. General CGI URL Syntax and Parameters
CGI parameters are written in lower-case and as one word without any underscores or other separators. When the CGI
request includes internal camera parameters, these parameters must be written exactly as they are named in the camera
or video server. The CGIs are organized in functionally-related directories under the cgi-bin directory. The file
extension .cgi is required.
Syntax:
http://< servername >/cgi-bin/< subdir >[/< subdir >...]/< cgi >.< ext >
[?<parameter>=<value>[&<parameter>=<value>...]]
Example: Set digital output #1 to active
http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/dido/setdo.cgi?do1=1
