Capturing Up-to-date Still Images
Getting snapshot via URL
Administrators and users can use a specific URL to capture the current still image.
URL
http://<IP of Video Server>/cgi-bin/video.jpg
Getting snapshot via FTP
Administrators and users can log in to the Video Server FTP daemon to download the refreshed
JPEG image named video.jpg. The user name and password are the same as for web access. The
zero file size in the file directory means it is captured by request.
Video Embedded in Customers’ Homepage
In addition to the URL, some scripts should be added to download a plug-in for video images. The
following example simply displays title text and a real-time video window in Internet Explorer or
Netscape. The user name and password should be configured in advance. Those who are familiar
with HTML can easily add more components or rewrite the code to create a more vivid and useful
homepage.

NOTE
The camera's image will not be visible when using IE6.0 Security Package Update (MS04-004),
since it will block VPort’s username and password on a customized homepage. You may need to
disable VPort password protection, or check the patch description of IE (No. 832894) to solve
this problem.
