3. HTTP API Transaction
3.1 Transaction
The HTTP API Transaction starts from a request from a client Application, usually a web browser. The request is processed by the web
server on the Amcrest product, then sends the response back to the client application. The HTTP request is taken in GET form. If the request is
successful, the Amcrest product will return a HTTP header contains 200 OK. The HTTP Body will contain actual data or error message if an error
occurs.
For convenience, we use some short words to instead the long expressions. The follows are several regulations:
1. The italics and bold will be replaced by the value behind the symbol “=”.
2. The URL must follow the standard way of writing a URL.(RFC_3986:Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Generic Syntax);that is ,spaces
and other reserved characters (“;”, “/”, “?”, “:”, “@”, “=”, “+”, “,” and “$”) within a <paramName> or a <paramValue> must be replaced

10
with %<ASCII hex>.For example ,the blank must be instead with %20.
3. To describe the range of the configuration, we use some symbols such as “[]”, “{}” and so on. For example: ”[0-100]” denotes a
integer not less than 0 and not larger than 100. “{0,1,2,3}” denotes the valid value of a integer among 0,1,2 and 3.
4. In the request and response, we use “[]” to denote an array. The index is usually a integer and start form 0.
5. The parameter value has several types: string, integer, bool and float.Integer is 32 bits. The range of bool is “true” and “false”.
The below is an example of a transaction:
Request GET http://<ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoColor
Description Get VideoColor configuration.
Response HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:text/plain
head.Brightness=50
head.Contrast=50
head.Hue=50
head.Saturation=50
head.TimeSection=1 00:00:00-24:00:00
Comment In above table, head= table.VideoColor[ChannelNo][ColorConfigNo]
ChannelNo = video channel index,
colorConfigNo = color config index.
0 = Color Config 1
1 = Color Config 2
…
We can also request the single config.
For example:
Request :
GET http://10.7.2.4/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoColor[0][0].Brightness
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:text/plain
table.VideoColor[0][0].Brightness=50
3.2 Authentication
The Amcrest video product supplies two authentication ways: basic authentication and digest authentication. If the http request does not
have “Authorization”, the Amcrest video product returns a 401, utill the http request has a legal authentication.
For example:
1. When basic authentication, the Amcrest video product response:
401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=”XXXXXX”
Then the client encode the username and password with base64, send the following request:
Authorization: Basic VXZVXZ.
2. When digest authentication, the Amcrest video product response:
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="DH_00408CA5EA04", nonce="000562fdY631973ef04f77a3ede7c1832ff48720ef95ad",

11
stale=FALSE, qop="auth";
The client calculates the digest using username, password, nonce, realm and URI with MD5, then send the following request:
Authorization: Digest username="admin", realm="DH_00408CA5EA04", nc=00000001,cnonce="0a4f113b",qop="auth"
nonce="000562fdY631973ef04f77a3ede7c1832ff48720ef95ad",uri="cgi-bin/global.login?userName=admin",
response="65002de02df697e946b750590b44f8bf"
4. Camera
Camera API allows application to configure and view Amcrest video product settings.

URL Syntax rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip>:<port>/cam/realmonitor?channel=<channelNo>&subtype=<typeNo>
Comment <username>: a valid user’s username.
<password> :user’s password.
<ip> :the IP address of the Amcrest video product.
<port >:the default port is 554. It can be omitted. It can be obtained in 5.10.1 GetRTSPConfig.

EventHandler is used in alarm and event config in following sections. It contains settings for actions linked with alarm and events. Actions
include record, snapshot, PTZ action, log, mail, alarm out and so on.When alarm or event happen, actions defined in alarm EventHandler and
event EventHandler are executed.
6.1.1 GetEventHandler
URL Syntax http://<ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=<handlerName>
Comment < handlerName> can be one of below four formats

URL Syntax http://<ip>/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action= adjustFocus&focus=<focus>&zoom=<zoom>
Comment focus: float, the range is between 0 and 1; -1 means reset to position 0.
zoom: float, the range is between 0 and 1; -1 means reset to position 0.
13.2 AdjustFocusContinuously
URL Syntax http://<ip>/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action= adjustFocusContinuously&focus=<focus>&zoom=<zoom>
Comment focus: float, the range is -1 < focus < 1; 0 means stop.
zoom: float, the range is -1 < zoom< 1; 0 means stop.
The value means the moving speed of motor lens, positive value means move forwards, negative value means move
backwards. This command is used to drive the lens move continuously, until it reaches end. When motor is moving, and you
send this command again with focus or zoom parameter as 0, the motor will stop immediately. In this command when you
adjust the focus parameter, the zoom parameter should be -1, and the focus parameter should be -1 when adjust the zoom
parameter.
Example If we want to adjust focus, the API like this:
http://172.30.1.100/cgi-bin/devVideoInput.cgi?action=adjustFocusContinuously&focus=0.02&zoom=-1
and when the motor is moving, we send below command to let it stop:
