Tip

• To view a dynamic stream, use the URL http://device_IP:8080/video.cgi.

• For capturing a screenshot, use the following URLs, with the image formats varying accordingly:

  • http://device_IP:8080/picture.cgi

  • http://device_IP:8080/picture.jpg

  • http://device_IP:8080/jpeg.cgi

• For example, if you want to capture the jpg format image of the door phone with the IP address 192.168.1.104, you can enter http://192.168.1.104:8080/picture.jpg on the web browser.
