Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Commands
Overview
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a simple method to send or receive data from a program or application through a web
interface. The WVC80N supports a multitude of CGI commands that can be passed to it via HTTP from your client PC or mobile
phone. This will allow you to perform basic functions such as view the camera’s video stream, capture a snapshot or retrieve the
camera’s status information. This appendix details all the supported CGI commands for this camera.
NOTE: Using CGI commands is only recommended for advanced users.
