Chapter 3. HTTP Access
Non-Panoramic Cameras
This chapter describes the HTTP access of Arecont Vision cameras AV1300, AV2100,
AV3100, AV3130, and AV5100. HTTP access of panoramic cameras AV8180 and AV8360
is described in the next chapter.
Arecont Vision cameras support two protocols, TFTP and HTTP. TFTP protocol is
recommended for application scenarios where high quality video at full frame rate is
preferred. The drawback (if any) is that the implementation of TFTP protocols usually
requires significant engineering efforts. Although Arecont Vision provides a manufacturer
SDK which makes it easy and simple to interface AV cameras, there are still a significant
number of applications that do not favor the use of TFTP protocols. The reason for not
using TFTP protocol varies. For example, certain applications simply do not require full
frame rate operation; some applications are limited by the availability of time and/or
software development resources.
Arecont Vision cameras support access of AV cameras via HTTP protocol. The
performance in terms of data rate is comparable to other multi-megapixel products
available on the market. This chapter explains the usage of HTTP commands supported by
Arecont Vision cameras of model AV1300, AV 2100, AV3100, AV3130, AV5100.
