TS-API Programmer's Guide

This article is a programming guide for those who develop application software using TS-API, which is built in TS-CMS, TS-NVR, TS-LPR of TS Solution Corp..

You can easily embed the real-time video, recorded video, and video search functions into your application software with the API.

It would be helpful if you have some experience using simple HTML and JavaScript to use the API.

Please refer to The API-supported versions by product and The features table by product portion of Appendix, as the features supported by each product may differ.

[Tips] The API and this article are subject to change without notice for better development support and improvement.

Table of contents

Get Started

In this article, TS-API is abbreviated as API, and each product is simply called server.

Video display

Real-time video display

Try to type the following in the Web browser address window.

http://tssolution.iptime.org:83/watch?ch=1&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

Run

Do you see the video?

[Tips] The demonstration video used in this sample code may not be connected depending on the situation in the field.

Inserting video into web page

Now let's insert the video into the web page.

<!DOCTYPE>
<head>
  <meta charset='utf-8'>
  <title>ex1</title>
</head>

<body>
<h2>Example 1. Insert video</h2>
<iframe src='http://tssolution.iptime.org:83/watch?ch=1&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D' 
  width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen />
</body>

Run

The video URL and the <iframe> tag code used in the example are provided as a pop-up menu when you right-click on the video of the webpage (or long-press on the video in case of a smartphone). Select the menu item you are to use, the code will be copied to the clipboard and then you can paste them into your code.

Menu items Usage
Copy video URL Paste into web browser address window
Copy embed code Paste in the <iframe> tag of your HTML code

[Tips] For security reasons, the auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D part is excluded from this copied code. This code is required for authentication and is described in Session Authentication. In this example, we used only minimal code to display the video, so there are more parts that were not included in the copied code.

Connecting to a real server

Now, let's see how to display the video of a real server, not a demonstration server. To connect to a real server, you need to know the following two things by default:

  1. The host name of the server (IP address or domain name, and port number when 80 is not used)
  • The port number can be found in the HTTP Port item in the Web Service tab in your product Settings window.
  1. User ID and password with remote access privileges

User authentication

For example, assuming that you use the following connection information;

Item Value
IP address tssolution.ipdisk.co.kr
Web port number 85
User ID demo
Password !1234qwer

In the above example, you can change the address part as follows:

<iframe src='http://tssolution.iptime.org:83/watch?ch=1&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D'
  width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>

Here ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D following auth= is the base64 encoded part of user ID and password.

The format is to use a colon (:) delimiter, such as userid: password, to create a username and password as a single text and then base64 encoded. In the above example, demo:!1234qwer is base64 encoded and becomes ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D.

In this example, we will improve the way we access the login information using JavaScript base64 encoding function.

<!DOCTYPE>
<head>
  <meta charset='utf-8'>
  <title>ex2</title>
</head>

<script>
  function onConnect() {
    var hostName = document.getElementById('host-name').value;
    if(hostName == '') {
      alert('Enter the host.');
      return;
    }
    var userId = document.getElementById('user-id').value;
    if(userId == '') {
      alert('Enter your user ID.');
      return;
    }
    var password = document.getElementById('password').value;
    if(password == '') {
      alert('Enter the password.');
      return;
    }
    var encodedData = window.btoa(userId + ':' + password); // base64 encoding
    var src = 'http://' + hostName + '/watch?ch=1&auth=' + encodedData;
    document.getElementById('result').innerText = src;
    document.getElementById('player').src = src;
  }
</script>

<body>
  <h2>Example 2. Connecting to a real server</h2>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>Host</td>
      <td>User ID</td> 
      <td>Password</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><input type='text' id='host-name'></td>
      <td><input type='text' id='user-id'></td> 
      <td><input type='text' id='password'></td>
      <td><button type='button' onClick='onConnect()'>Connect</button></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan='4' id='result'></td>
    </tr>
  </table>

  <iframe width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen id='player' />
</body>

Run

Change channel

If you change the ch= part of the video source to the desired channel number as shown below, the video of that channel will be displayed. Channel numbers are integers starting at 1. For example, if you want to see channel 3, you can modify it like this:

http://tssolution.iptime.org:83/watch?ch=3&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

Run: Channel1 Channel2 Channel3

Display recorded video

To display the recorded video, you need the date and time information (time stamp) of the desired video. For example, to display a video recorded on Channel 1 at 2:30:15 pm on February 1, 2018, you would need to add when=2018-02-01T14%3a30%3a15%2b09%3a00.

http://tssolution.iptime.org:83/watch?ch=1&when=2018-02-01T14%3a30%3a15%2b09%3a00&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

Run

[Tips] The recorded video of the old date may already be overwritten depending on the capacity of the storage device.

2018-02-01T14%3a30%3a15%2b09%3a00 is the date and time in the format ISO 8601.

You can use when=now to request real-time video, but if omitted, it means real-time video, and the following tips are provided for ease of use.

when=yesterday    // Local time on server yesterday 00:00:00
when=today        // Local time on server today 00:00:00

Run: Yesterday Today

You can use the parameters to set the language of the subtitles displayed on the video. For a list of supported languages, refer to the appendix.

From here, we will omit the http://host and theauth=part.

# Parameters
lang            # Specify subtitle language
showTitle       # Whether channel name is displayed (true, false)
showPlayTime    # Whether the date and time are displayed (true, false)

# Example
# Show date and time in Spanish
/watch?ch=1&when=2018-02-01T14%3a30%3a15%2b09%3a00&lang=es-ES

# Hide Channel name and date time
# showTitle and showPlayTime are assumed to be true by default.
/watch?ch=1&when=2018-02-01T14%3a30%3a15%2b09%3a00&showTitle=false&showPlayTime=false

So far, We've seen how to display video using the /watch. Here we will see how to request various information using /api.

JSON data indentation @0.5.0

All response data is in the JSON format and the text is encoded as utf8. The actual data being transferred uses an optimized format without line breaks and whitespace, but This is too uncomfortable for a person to read.

For example, when request timezone as shown below:

GET /api/info?timezone

The server returns JSON data in an optimized format with no line breaks and no whitespace, like this:

{"timezone":{"name":"America/New_York","bias":"-05:00"}}

For developer's convenience, you can specify indent option to indent the JSON data in an easy-to-read format. The value of indent ranges from 0 to 8.

For example, when request timezone using indentation of 2 as shown below:

GET /api/info?timezone&indent=2

The server indents two blank characters and inserts a newline character to return the JSON data in an easy-to-read format:

{
  "timezone": {
    "name": "America/New_York",
    "bias": "-05:00"
  }
}

Of course, you can use the desired number as the indent value, and it can be used in the same way for all TS-APIs. This document uses a format with indentation of 2 to make it easier to read items in the data.

Session authentication

The server maintains an HTTP session using Cookie until the client software (the web browser) logs in and logs out. Since the server maintains the authentication information while the session is being connected, the client software (web browser) does not need to sign in whenever makes request.

This process of sign-in is called session authentication.

Sign in

Here's how to use the API to authenticate your session. The server also supports Basic authentication which is a traditional sign-in method using URL format, as shown in the code below, but for security reasons, most modern web browsers does not support this method anymore.

http://userid:password@host/path/to/

For this reason, we provide the following additional login methods: Using login= parameter after encrypting the user ID and password in the same way as in User Authentication.

GET /api/auth?login=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D    # http://host omitted

If the login is successful, the server returns an HTTP response code of 200.

You can use auth= to sign in the same way as shown below.

GET /api/auth?auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

The auth = parameter is used in various APIs to be introduced later and can be used when making a request with user authentication information to the server without going through a separate login process.

Sign out

After the session is connected, the following request can be used to terminate it.

GET /api/auth?logout

At the end of the session, the server returns an HTTP response code of 401 for requests that require authentication, indicating that authentication is required.

Request server information

API version

This request works, even if it is not in session suthenticated state.

GET /api/info?apiVersion

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "apiVersion": "[email protected]"
}

Site name

Use to get the server's site name. If you have multiple servers, you can give them a name that can be distinguished from each other.

This request works, even if it is not in session suthenticated state.

GET /api/info?siteName

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "siteName": "My home server"
}

The value of siteName, "My%20home%20server", is what you entered in the web service tab of the Settings window on the server, and it is URL-encoded to present in JSON format. Decoding the aboveURL-encoded code will convert it to "My home server".

Server-side time zone

You can get the server-side time zone. It is used to distinguish between the client-side and server-side local time when they are used in different time zones.

This request works, even if it is not in session suthenticated state.

GET /api/info?timezone

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "timezone": {
    "name": "America/New_York",   // Time zone name as IANA format
    "bias": "-05:00"              // UTC offset
  }
}

UTC offset, for example, UTC-05:00, may be used instead of IANA time zone name.

Product information

It is used to get the product name and version information of the server.

This request works, even if it is not in session suthenticated state.

GET /api/info?product

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

// for TS-CMS:
{
  "product": {
    "name": "TS-CMS",               // Product name
    "version": "v0.38.0 (64-bit)"   // Version information
  }
}

// for TS-NVR:
{
  "product": {
    "name": "TS-NVR",               // Product name
    "version": "v0.35.0 (64-bit)"   // Version information
  }
}

// for TS-LPR:
{
  "product": {
    "name": "TS-LPR",               // Product name
    "version": "v0.2.0A (64-bit)"   // Version information
  }
}

License information

Used to get license information installed on the server.

This request works, even if it is not in session suthenticated state.

GET /api/info?license

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

// for a genuine lincense:
{
  "license": {
    "type": "genuine",         // Genuine lincense
    "maxChannels": 36,         // Maximum channels available

  }
}

Request all at once

You can request information individually, but we also provide a way to request all the information at once for convenience.

GET /api/info?all

This request returns JSON data with an HTTP response code of 200 if the session is authenticated, or JSON data with an HTTP response code of 401 with no whoAmI entries if it is not authenticated.

The event log recorded on the server is a lot of data, so it is not suitable to send all at once. Therefore, if you do not specify the count, only the log entries from the most recent to the maximum 50 items are returned. You can use totalCount, at, and maxCount to refer to each page of search results.

If you do not specify a language, the default is to return results based on the server's language setting. If required, you can specify search parameters by combining one or more of the following parameters.

# Parameters
lang        # Language
timeBegin   # List of events recorded after a specific date and time
timeEnd     # List of events recorded before a specific date and time
at          # Offset from the first data
maxCount    # Maximum number of items
sort        # Sorting method (desc: Latest data order (default), asc: Oldest data order)
type        # Event log type

# Examples
# Requesting Arabic
GET /api/find?what=eventLog&lang=ar-AE

# Event log requests recorded during January 2018

# Request 20 items from the 10th item in the search results
GET /api/find?what=eventLog&at=10&maxCount=20

# Sort by old data order (ascending order)

The vehicle number log recorded on the server is not suitable for sending all at once because it is a large amount of data. Therefore, if you do not specify the count, only the log entries from the most recent to the maximum 50 items are returned. You can use totalCount, at, and maxCount to refer to each page of search results.

If you do not specify a language, the default is to return results based on the server's language setting. If required, you can specify search parameters by combining one or more of the following parameters.

# Parameters
keyword     # Vehicle number text to search (or some characters)
lang        # Language
timeBegin   # List of vehicle numbers recorded after a specific date and time
timeEnd     # List of vehicle numbers recorded before a specific date and time
at          # Offset from the first data
maxCount    # Maximum number of items
sort        # Sorting method (desc: Latest data order (default), asc: Oldest data order)
src         # Vehicle number recognition device id (separated by a comma (,) if multiple channels are specified at the same time)

# Examples
# Search for vehicle number including "12" (keyword search)
GET /api/find?what=carNo&keyword=12

# Request Arabic
GET /api/find?what=carNo&lang=ar-AE

# Request vehicle number logs recorded during January 2018
# (2018-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 ~ 2018-01-31T23:59:59.999-059:00)
GET /api/find?what=carNo&timeBegin=2018-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-05%3A00&timeEnd=2018-01-31T23%3A59%3A59.999-05%3A00

# Request 20 items from the 10th item in the search results
GET /api/find?what=carNo&at=10&maxCount=20

# Sort by old data order (ascending order)
GET /api/find?what=carNo&sort=asc

# Search by specifying vehicle number recognition device 1, 2
GET /api/find?what=carNo&src=1,2

To display the video in the retrieved result data, use the method used in Display recorded video.

For example, if you want to display a video of the following search results

Search for video sources

You can use this method if your application uses the video address directly instead of the video display feature using the API you used in Inserting video into web page.

This way you can get video address instead of displaying video.

Real-time video source

You can request a list of real-time video addresses that the server is streaming by requesting the following without any parameters:

GET /api/vod

The server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

[Tips] Added "ptzSupported" item from [email protected].

Because of the variety of environments (network bandwidth and protocol supported by the player) in which the video is played, we provide multiple video sources per channel as shown in the example above for compatibility. In the current version, it is streamed in two formats RTMP and HLS, and if the camera supports it, it can be dual-stream in high resolution and low resolution.

In fact, the when=now parameter, which means live video, is omitted in the example above.

GET /api/vod?when=now

If required, you can specify search parameters by combining one or more of the following parameters.

ch          # Channel number (meaning all channels if not specified)
protocol    # Specify a streaming protocol (rtmp, hls)
stream      # Specify the resolution of the video (main: High definition video, sbu: Low-resolution video)
nameonly    # If true, only the channel name is requested without the video stream data part. 

# Examples
# Request channel 1 only
GET /api/vod?ch=1

# Request only hls protocol streams
GET /api/vod?protocol=hls

# Request only low-resolution streams
GET /api/vod?stream=sub

# Only request channel name

Recorded video source

In general, you will use the Search date with recorded video function to access the recorded video, but here are some ways to get a video source recorded at a lower level.

Use /api/vod, which is used when requesting a real-time video sources, and specify different parameters as follows.

when        # Specify the timestamp of recorded video
duration    # The time period to search from the time specified by when
id          # The file ID of recorded video
next        # If true, the next video of the specified one
prev        # If true, the previous video of the specified one
limit       # Specify the number of items in the search results (default 10, maximum 50)
otherwise   # If there is no search result,
            # If requested with 'nearBefore', near recorded video before the search time period will be returned.
            # If requested with 'nearAfter', near recorded video after the search time period will be returned.
nolive      # Prevents search results from including real-time videos even timestamp is less than 1 minute from the current time ([email protected])

# Examples
# The channel 1 video source on channel 1 ecorded on January 8, 2018 at 9:30 PM EST
# [Important!]
#   1. For recorded video, HTTP response code 400 (invalid request) occurs if 'ch=' is not specified.
#   2. Only data within 1 second is retrieved from the time specified by 'when='.
GET /api/vod?ch=1&when=2018-01-08T09%3A30%3A00-05%3A00

# Search the channel 1 video source for data within 1 hour from 9:30 PM 00:00 on January 8, 2018
# [Time unit notation used by duration]
#   w: week   (eg: 1w = one week)
#   d: day    (eg: 5d = 5 days)
#   h: hour   (eg: 3h = 3 hours)
#   m: minute (eg: 10m = 10 minutes)
#   s: second (eg: 30s = 30 seconds)
#   ms: millisecond (1/1000 sec.) (eg: 5000ms = 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds)
#   * If units are not specified, seconds is used by the default.
#   * Notation combining multiple units (eg: 1h30m) is not supported and must be
#     calculated (eg: 90m) in the smallest unit if necessary

Requesting video using video source @0.3.0

For video request using video source without using /watch provided by API, authentication is supported by each protocol as follows.

# RTMP (auth= parameter supported)
rtmp://host/path/to&?auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# HTTP (Only basic authentication is supported for file-based resources such as m3u8, JPG, and MP4)
http://userid:password@host/path/to

# HTTP (The resources of sub path /api/ are supported in both ways)
http://userid:passwordn@host/api/path/to
http://host/api/path/to&?auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

Real-time event monitoring @0.3.0

Web Sockets (RFC6455)

Supports the ability to receive real-time event messsage using HTML5 Web sockets (RFC6455) method. Once connection established the server and the client maintain the connection state, and when an event occurs, the server sends a message to the client.

The step-by-step communication procedure is as follows:

  1. Client connects to the server via Web Sockets.
  2. If the authentication to the server succeeds, the subscriber ID is issued.
  3. The client then remains connected and enters the message waiting state.
  • The server sends a ping message every 30 seconds to keep the connection even if there is no message to send.
  1. When an event occurs, the server sends a message to the client.
  2. Repeat steps 3 through 4 until the client ends the connection itself.

[Tips] The web socket method is supported by all web browsers including Microsoft web browsers. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSocket

The following event topics are supported:

channelStatus   # Change channel status
LPR             # Car number recognition
emergencyCall   # Emergency call
systemEvent     # System Events (added @0.7.0)
motionChanges   # Motion detection status changes (added @0.8.0)
parkingCount    # Parking count events (added @0.9.0)
packing         # Packing event (added @0.9.0)
recordingStatus # Recording status event (added @0.9.5)
object          # Object detection event (added @0.9.6)

The web socket connection path and parameters are as follows.

/wsapi/subscribeEvents

# Required parameters
auth    # Authentication Information (Requires authentication per individual web socket, independent of session authentication)
topics  # Specify topics to receive (You can specify multiple topics at the same time, which are separated by a comma (,).)

# Optional argument
verbose # For emergencyCall, request List the live video stream sources of the linked video channels
        # For channelStatus, request status messages (Include "title" in initial message immediately after issuing subscriber id
session # Can pass authentication credentials by passing session cookie already connected

# channelStatus-specific parameters (optional)
ch      # Used when specifying specific channels (separated by a comma (,) if multiple channels are specified at the same time)
lang    # Specify language for status messages

# Example
# Request car number recognition event
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=LPR&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# Request emergency call event
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=emergencyCall&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# Request both events
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=LPR,emergencyCall&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# request List the live video stream sources of the linked video channels
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=LPR,emergencyCall&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D&verbose=true

# Request status change events for all channels

# Requests status change events of channels 1 and 2 including Spanish messages
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=channelStatus&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D&ch=1,2&verbose=true&lang=es-ES

# Requests motion detection status change events for all channels
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=motionChanges&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# Requests motion detection status change events of channels 1 and 2
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=motionChanges&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D&ch=1,2

# Requests parking count for all the parking lots
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=parkingCount&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D

# Requests parking count for the parking lot id 1 and 2 (in this case the `ch` used as parking lot id)
ws://host/wsapi/subscribeEvents?topics=parkingCount&auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D&ch=1,2

The server issues the recipient ID in JSON format as shown below if the requested authentication information and topic are correct. If the authentication information is incorrect or is not a supported topic, it will be disconnected immediately.

{
  "subscriberId": "cd57c82b-7e8c-4b04-91eb-520f6a9773ce", // subscriber ID (Unique ID per each connection)
  "topics": [   // Reply to requested topics (Both events are supported)
    "LPR",
    "emergencyCall"
  ]
}

Channel status change events

You can receive channel status change events in real time by requesting topics=channelStatus. Unlike other topics, in case of the channel status topic, for status change management, the current channel status is sent once, immediately after issuing the subscriber id. The rest events are then sent only when there is a change from the initial state. Channel status change event messages are received in JSON format as shown below.

// subscriber id
{
  "subscriberId":"1a3dc2de-d3b5-4983-933a-49a86ac8ad3d",
  "topics": [

Exporting recorded video @0.3.0

You can use the web socket to receive recorded video from the server. The server creates the files one by one and deletes them when the client finishes downloading, and then creates the next file. All progress is made while the server and the client remain connected, If the connection is lost, the server immediately stops the operation and deletes the generated file.

The step-by-step communication procedure is as follows.

  1. Client connects to server via Web socket
  2. Server -> Client [stage:ready] If authenticated successful, the server send ready stage which contains the summary of the task.
  3. Server -> Client [stage:begin] Start the requested operation from the server
  4. Server -> Client [stage:channelBegin] Start task on a channel
  5. Server -> Client [stage:fileBegin] Start creating a file
  6. Server -> Client [stage:fileWriting] Writing data to a file
  7. Server -> Client [stage:fileEnd] Completed a file (download link provided)
  8. Server -> Client [stage:timeoutAlert] Sent immediately before the time specified at ttl in fileEnd is exceeded
  9. Client -> Server [cmd:wait] Making server wait while the client is downloading
  10. Client -> Server [cmd:next] Making server create next file after the file has finished downloading
  11. Server -> Client [stage:channelEnd] Completed task on a channel
  12. Server -> Client [stage:end]
  13. If there are next files, repeat steps 6 to 10
  14. If there are next channels, repeat steps 5 through 12
  15. Client -> Server [cmd:cancel] Clients can cancel jobs at any time after step 2

The web socket connection path and parameters are as follows.

The message format sent by the server for each stage is as follows. stage:ready - Ready

{
  "stage": "ready",
  "status": {
    "code": 0,
    "message": "Success"
  },
  "task": {
    "id": "7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40",  # task id-05

In some situations, it may fail and terminate immediately. The types of status code are as follows.

0: Succcess
-1: No data in the requested time range and channels
-2: Invalid parameters
-5: Out of storage space (If there is no free space on the server)    

stage:begin - Start task

{
  "stage": "begin",
  "overallProgress": "0%", # Overall progress
  "timestamp": "2018-07-27T09:00:00.000-05:00" # Current time stamp in progress
}

stage:channelBegin - Start a channel

{
  "stage": "channelBegin",

    "progress": "42%", # Channel progress
    "file": {
      "fid": 1         # File id
    }
  }
}

stage:fileEnd - File creation complete Once a file is created, the download link will be returned with the ttl as follows: Within ttl, The client must send a command to the server to control the flow, otherwise the server automatically cancels the operation.

{
  "stage": "fileEnd",
  "overallProgress": "51%",  # Overall progress
  "timestamp": "2018-07-27T09:15:25.225-05:00", # Current time stamp in progress

    "file": {
      "fid": 1,         # File id
      "ttl": 10000,     # If the client does not send any commands within 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds), 
                        # the server will automatically cancel the operation
      "download": [
        # Created video file
        {
          "fileName": "CH1.2018-07-27T09.11.19.mp4",
          "src": "http://host/download/7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40/CH1.2018-07-27T09.11.19.mp4",
          "md5": "1125ee2c3d20f30b31166c821204603d" # md5=true
        },
        # Created subtitle file
        {
          "fileName": "CH1.2018-07-27T09.11.19.vtt",
          "src": "http://host/download/7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40/CH1.2018-07-27T09.11.19.vtt",
          "md5": "9176eec58f3be777ae7bd188a1f14165" # md5=true
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Download links can be used with the auth parameter.

http://host/download/7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40/CH1.2018-07-27T09.11.19.mp4&auth=YWRtaW46YWRtaW4

stage:timeoutAlert - timeout alert The server sends it to the client to notify the task will be canceled shortly before the time specified in the ttl specified in fileEnd.

{
  "request": "timeoutAlert",
  "ttl": 2000         # 2 seconds remaining
}

When the client receives this message, it must send the wait command to the server within the time specified in ttl, otherwise the task will be automatically canceled.

stage:channelEnd - Channel complete

{
  "stage": "channelEnd",
  "overallProgress": "100%", # Overall progress
  "timestamp": "2018-07-27T09:30:00.000-05:00", # Current time stamp in progress
  "channel": {
    "chid": 1,         # Channel number
    "progress": "100%" # Channel progress
  }
}

stage:end - Task complete

{
  "stage": "end",
  "overallProgress": "100%", # Overall progress
  "timestamp": "2018-07-27T09:30:00.000-05:00", # Current time stamp in progress
  "status": {
    "code":0,
    "message":"Success"
  }
}

A typical status code is one of the following:

0: Success
-1001: Not enough space to save
-1003: Task canceled by user
-1004: Task terminated by timeout

The format of the command that the client sends to the server for each situation is as follows: cmd:wait - wait command Video files created on the server side will be deleted immediately after downloading finished and before creating the next file, so you should send a wait command during download to prevent the server from deleting the file.

If you send the wait command once, you can make server wait for ttl specified in fileEnd, If the download takes a long time, you should send the wait command periodically.

{
  "task": "7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40",  # The task number issued at stage:ready
  "cmd": "wait"   # wait command
}

cmd:next - Continue to next file

{
  "task": "7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40",  # The task number issued at stage:ready
  "cmd": "next"   # Proceed to the next file operation
}

cmd:cancel - Cancel task

{
  "task": "7963635e-1bff-40e1-bbf3-3f17525aef40",  # The task number issued at stage:ready
  "cmd": "cancel"   # Client cancel the task
}

Pushing events to the server @0.4.0

You can send events from an external device or software to the server by HTTP POST method.

The following event topics are supported:

LPR             # Car number recognition
emergencyCall   # Emergency call

The path and parameters for sending events to the server are:

POST /api/push

# Parameter
auth    # authentication information

Specify event data in JSON format in contents data.

Car number recognition data

{
  "topic": "LPR",         // Car number data
  "src": "F00001",        // Car number recognition device code
  "plateNo": "DSP963",    // the car number
  // Below are optional.
  "when": "2018-02-01T14:30:15-05:00",    // Vehicle number recognition time, if not specified, the server uses the time when the event was received
  "timeBegin": "2018-02-01T14:30:14-05:00"  // For car parked, specify the first recognition time
}

Emergency call data

{
  "topic": "emergencyCall",   // Emergency call data
  "device": "vendor/device",  // Emergency call device model name
  "src": "0000001",           // Emergency call device location code
  "event": "callStart",       // call start (or "callEnd" for call end)
  "camera": "1,2,3,4",        // Camera list to popup screen (to restore "camera": "") (@0.9.19)
  "when": "2018-02-01T14:30:15-05:00" // Event occurrence time
}

If the request is successful, the server returns an HTTP response code of 200 and no additional Contents data is returned.

It can be created as multiple events in the array as shown below and sent at once.

[
  {
    "topic": "LPR",
    "src": "F00001",
    "plateNo": "DSP963"
  },
  {
    "topic": "emergencyCall",
    "device": "vendor/device",
    "src": "0000001",
    "event": "callStart",
    "camera": "1,2,3,4",
    "when": "2018-02-01T14:30:15-05:00"
  }
]

You can test it by using the curl command in the console window.

  1. At first copy the above json data and save it as a test.json in a UTF-8 encoded text file.
  2. Let's assume the server address is 192.168.0.100, the web port is 80, the user ID is demo, and the password is!1234qwer.
  3. Open a console window, navigate to the directory where the test.json file is located, and run the curl command as shown below.
curl http://192.168.0.100/api/push -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -X POST -u demo:!1234qwer -d @test.json
  1. Alternatively, you can use the auth = parameter for Base64-encoded and URL-encoded user accounts.
curl http://192.168.0.100/api/push?auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -X POST -d @test.json

Channel information and device control @0.5.0

You can get a list of devices connected to each channel, a list of features supported by each device, and control each device.

Request Device Information and Support Function List

The connected device information requests:

GET /api/channel/info

# Parameters
caps    # Only requested "caps" item, If not specified, includes all information
ch      # specify channels, If not specified, all channels in use
reload  # Request updated information with the latest information from your channel's camera (@0.9.1)

# Examples
# Only requests device capabilities for each channel in use
GET /api/channel/info?caps

# Only requests device capabilities connected to channels 1
GET /api/channel/info?caps&ch=1

# Only requests devices capabilities connected to channels 1, 2 and 3
GET /api/channel/info?caps&ch=1,2,3

# Request renewal of camera information of all channels to latest information
GET /api/channel/info?caps&reload

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

[
  {
    "chid": 1,
    "type": "onvif"         // ONVIF device
    "caps": {               // Device capabilities
      "pantilt": true,      // Supports pan tilt function
      "zoom": true          // Supports zoom function
      "focus": false,       // Supports focus function
      "iris": false,        // Supports iris function
      "home": true,         // Supports home position function
      "maxPreset": 255,     // Up to 255 PTZ presets can be registered

  },
  // ... omitted
]

Device control response code

If each channel on the server supports device control, it can be remotely controlled from the client side. The remote control functions will only work if the logged-in user account has Device control permission.

The device control commands are of the form /api/channel/ followed by an individual command and a destination channel and additional required parameters. In the example we will use here, let's assume that the destination channel is `ch = 1 '.

GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&home&indent=2

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "code": 0,          // response code
  "message": "Success"
}

The server sends control commands and immediately resonse with JSON data, including one of the following codes, as an HTTP response code 200, asynchronously with the device, without waiting for the device's execution result.

0     # Sucess
-1    # No user rights
-2    # Features not supported by the device
-3    # The device is not ready to execute the command
-4    # Device is still processing previous command (busy status)
-5    # Invalid channel
-6    # Invalid channel token
-7    # Invalid request
-8    # Invalid parameters
-9    # Device response error

The above response codes are common to all device control commands.

In the message part, if no language is specified, the language set on the server side is used. You can specify the language for the parameter as shown below.

GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&home&lang=en_US

For a list of supported languages, see the appendix.

Pan tilt control

If your device supports the pan tilt function, you can control it with the following commands.

# Commands without parameters
home    # Return to home position
stop    # Stop (Common to all move commands)

# Commands used with parameters (Commands to move continuously)
move    # Move horizontally and vertically
zoom    # Zoom in / out    
focus   # Focus near / far
iris    # Open / close iris

A control command consists of one target channel and a command. For example, for the home command, you must specify the target channel as a parameter.

GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&home

Commands used with parameters must specify the direction and velocity of movement. Commands with direction and speed will continue to move until you issue a stop command. The move command uses two parameters to represent the direction of movement in the horizontal and vertical directions. The velocity of movement is expressed as a decimal value between 0 and 1. Two decimal values between -1 and 1 can be used to express both the direction and velocity of movement from the current position in 2D space.

Alt Direction and velocity of movement

GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&move=0.5,0.5  # Moves at medium speed in the upper right diagonal
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&move=-1       # Moves to the left at maximum speed (can be omitted if vertical value is zero)
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&move=0,0.1    # Move slowly downward
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&move          # Can be omitted if both horizontal and vertical are 0, same as stop command

The rest of the zoom, focus, and iris commands are all camera lens controls and use one parameter to express forward and backward. Likewise, you can express both the direction and velocity of movement from the current position in a one-dimensional space, using one decimal value between -1 and 1 to express both the speed and direction of movement.

GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&zoom=0.5      # Zoom in at medium speed
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&zoom=-0.5     # Zoom out at medium speed
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&focus=0.1     # Focus near at very slow speed
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&focus=-0.5    # Focus far at medium speed
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&iris=-0.1    # Close iris at very slow speed
GET /api/channel/ptz?ch=1&iris=1       # Open iris at maximum speed

The physical travel limit and speed for the move command can vary depending on the unique characteristics of each device.

Pan tilt preset control

Available when the device supports the pan tilt preset function.

Request a preset list This command requests a list of presets that the server has already obtained (cached).

# Request a list of presets from channel 1
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&list

# Request a list of presets from multiple channels
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1,2,3&list

# Request a preset list of all channels
GET /api/channel/preset?list

While the response time is fast because you do not reload from the device each time, if the preset list modified by the other software (for example, the embedded web page of the device), the server responds with the list of past.

If the request is successful, the server responds with JSON data in the following format:

[
  {
    "chid": 1,
    "code": 0,
    "message": "Success",
    "preset": [
      {
        "name": "Front Door",  // The name that the user places conveniently for each preset position
        "token": "1"           // Unique ID indicating each preset position
      },
      {
        "name": "Garage",
        "token": "2"
      },
      // ... omitted
    ]
  },
  // ... omitted
]

Preset list reload request This command reloads the preset list from the device and sends it back.

# Request to reload the preset list of channel 1
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&reload

#  Request to reload the preset list of multiple channels
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1,2,3&reload

#  Request to reload the preset list of all channels
GET /api/channel/preset?reload

Contrary to the list command, while the response time is slow, you can always receive the same data as the preset list that the device has.

Adding a preset Adds the current position of the camera as a preset.

Adding a preset generates a preset token from the camera. You can specify name as an option. Since the camera does not support various characters, it is recommended to use English letters and numbers whenever possible. If name is not specified, it will be saved with the same name as the preset token generated by the camera.

The maximum number of presets supported by the camera can be found at Request Device Information and Support Function List.

# adding a new preset
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&add&name=door

# adding a new preset (If name is omitted)
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&add

Setting preset Sets the camera's current position as a preset.

Two parameters are required to set a preset. The first parameter is the preset token and the second parameter is the preset name. If you do not specify a preset name, the name of the preset token will be used. If the presets of the same Preset Token already exist, it will be overwritten, otherwise added as a new one.

The maximum number of presets supported by the camera can be found at Request Device Information and Support Function List.

Since the camera does not support various character sets, it is recommended to use numeric charactors for the preset token. However, since the preset name is stored in the server instead of the camera, you can use the preset name without any character restrictions. Don't forget to URL-encode to send the text string normally.

# When changing the existing preset position
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&set=preset1 

# When changing the position and name of an existing preset
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&set=preset1&name=Sweet%20home%20%5E%5E

For a preset assignment request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "chid": 1,
  "deviceResponseCode": 200, // Camera's response code
  "code": 0,                 // Response code
  "message": "Success",      // Message
  "token": "preset3",        // Preset token generated by the camera
  "name": "Sweet home ^^"
}

Remove presets Removes the preset of the specified preset tokens.

To remove presets, you must specify the preset token as a parameter.

# Remove presets token 1
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&rm=1

# Remove multiple presets
GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&rm=1,2,3

For a preset removing request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "chid": 1,
  "preset":[
    {
      "deviceResponseCode": 200,  // Camera's response code
      "code": 0,                  // Response code
      "message": "Success",       // Message
      "token": "preset1"          // Removed preset token
    },
    // ... omitted
  ]
}

Go to preset position Goes to the preset position of the specified preset token.

To move to the preset position, preset token must be specified as a parameter.

GET /api/channel/preset?ch=1&go=1 # Goes to the preset token 1

Relay output

If your device supports relay output, you can request a list of relay outputs as follows: To get a list of relay outputs, you must specify one channel to which the device is connected.

GET /api/channel/relay?ls&ch=1    # Request relay output list connected to channel 1

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "chid": 1,

If your device supports AUX output, use the on or off command as relay output. The AUX outputs are specified using a zero-based number instead of a token.

# Turn on AUX 1 output
GET /api/channel/aux?ch=1&on=0

# Turn off AUX 1 output
GET /api/channel/aux?ch=1&off=1

# Simultaneously turn on two AUX outputs

# If both on and off are specified at the same time, the off command is ignored.
GET /api/channel/aux?ch=1&on=0&off=1

# If one is turned on and the other is turned off, each must be sent separately for each command.
GET /api/channel/aux?ch=1&on=0
GET /api/channel/aux?ch=1&off=1

Reboot the device

If your device supports it, you can reboot it remotely with the following command:

GET /api/channel/reboot?ch=1    # Reboot camera on channel 1

For the request, the server returns JSON data in the following format with an HTTP response code of 200:

{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "Success"
}

After sending the response, the camera will start rebooting in a few seconds. Typically, the reboot takes approximately one minute to complete, which may vary from each camera.

From the perspective of the client software, it is necessary to monitor the completion of the reboot by attempting to reconnect periodically from the video connection is disconnected after sending the reboot command.

Adding channels @0.9.7

You can add channels as shown below.

POST /api/channel

# Available parameters
auth  # If you are not already logged in, log in when calling the API
lang  # Specify the language to be used for error code messages

# Usage example
POST /api/channel?auth=ZGVtbzohMTIzNHF3ZXI%3D
POST /api/channel?lang=vi-VN   # Set in Vietnamese

Request data

Defines channels to be added in POST data as JSON format. Array format is used to specify multiple channels.

Some data items are defined differently depending on the type of video source.

Camera

Cameras that support the ONVIF protocol can be added. If not specified, default values ​​are used.

  1. chid:
    • Channel number starting from 1
    • If chid is not specified, it is automatically assigned from the front.
  2. substream:
    • When there is a lower resolution stream than the video stream registered from the same input source of the camera, if the display area on the split screen is small, it automatically operates to display the lower resolution stream.
    • If you want to use only the designated video stream without using this function, set the substream item to false.
  3. url (Camera device URL):
    • It is originally in the form of http://192.168.0.220:8000, but it is written as onvif://192.168.0.220:8000 to indicate that it is a ONVIF device.

Event Backup @0.9.17

By generating an event trigger with an API call on the client side, a copy of the normal recorded video can be saved in the dedicated storage for event backup. In the server, event backup starts automatically after normal recording progresses up to the post-event recording (postAlarm) section. preAlarm, postAlarm are up to 1 hour each.

Request

PUT /api/event-videos/trigger
  • Request body Event backup details can be specified with parameters.

      "preAlarm": "5s",                     // The recorded section before the event occurs, counted in seconds when the number is indicated (e.g., 60 means 60 seconds)
      "postAlarm" "1m",                     // Recording section after the event occurred
      "chids": [1, 2, 3, 4]                 // (Optional) Channel number to back up (included by default even if you do not specify yourself)
    }
  ]
}

Response data

For the request, the server responds with the URL of the video to be saved as JSON data along with the HTTP response code as follows.

{
  "eventId": 1234,  // stored event id
  "videoURLs": [    // Video url to be created
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch1-20221129-101309.mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch2-20221129-101309.mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch3-20221129-101309.mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch4-20221129-101309.mp4"
  ]
}

If the same file already exists in the same directory, it is numbered as shown below to prevent duplication.

{
  "eventId": 1234,  // stored event id
  "videoURLs": [    // Video url to be created
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch1-20221129-101309(2).mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch2-20221129-101309(2).mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch3-20221129-101309(2).mp4",
    "/event-storage/e/20221129/101309/ch4-20221129-101309(2).mp4"
  ]
}

Since the response is sent first, the event backup starts at the time scheduled with postAlarm, so The client cannot immediately access the response URL, but can access the video file after the backup is completed (approximately 2 minutes after postAlarm).

The file name included in the videoURL of the response data is created based on the local time on the server side and has the following format.

ch1-20221129-101309.mp4
-+- ----+--- ---+--
 |      |       | 
 |      |       +------------ HHmmss (Hour, minute, second 2 digits each)
 |      +-------------------- YYYYMMDD (4 digits for year, 2 digits each for month and day)
 +--------------------------- channel number (variable length after ch)

Date and time notation in ISO 8601 format

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss±Hh:Mm (Local time representation)
or
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ (UTC time representation)
or, yet another
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sss (The server's Local time)

In here,
  YYYY: year
  MM: month
  DD: day
  hh: hour (24 hour notation)
  mm: minute
  ss: second
  sss: 1/n second
  Hh: Hour part of UTC time offset
  Mm: Minutes part of UTC time offset

For example, In the case of February 1, 2018 at 2:30:15

  1. The year, month, and day of the date part are each represented by four digits, two digits, or two digits, and the hyphen character (-) is used as a delimiter. If any digits remain, '0' is prefilled. eg: 2018-02-01
  2. The hour, minute, and second of the time portion are each represented by two numbers, two characters, and two characters, is used as a delimiter. If any digits remain, '0' is prefilled. eg: 14:30:15 Since video is typically composed of images from multiple scenes for one second, you might use units of seconds or less to specify the correct scene. In this case, you can use decimal notation for values less than a second. eg: 14:30:15.253 => 14:30:15 and 253 milliseconds (1/1000 second)
  3. Use the T character as a separator between dates and times. eg: 2018-02-01T14:30:15.253
  4. Use the time zone to specify the local time. Because EST is 5 hours behind UTC, it is represented as follows. eg: -05:00 (or simply -0500 or more simply -05) If you want to use UTC time, you can use Z character instead of +00:00.
  5. Combine all of the above pieces. eg: 2018-02-01T14:30:15-05:00 (Local time as EST)
  6. URL encoding this string is as follows: eg: 2018-02-01T14%3A30%3A15-05%3A00

JSON data format

The server does not use line breaks or white space characters in JSON data for data optimization. For example, use the following form of text:

{"apiVersion":"[email protected]","siteName":"My%20home%20server","timezone":{"name":"America/New_York","bias":"-05:00"},"product":{"name":"TS-LPR","version":"v0.5.0A (64-bit)"},"license":{"type":"genuine","maxChannels":16}}

This is a long line, so it can be a little uncomfortable for the human to read.

In this case, use the following tools to convert easily readable.

The readable JSON data has the following form:

{
  "apiVersion": "[email protected]",
  "siteName": "My%20home%20server",
  "timezone": {
    "name": "America/New_York",
    "bias": "-05:00"
  },
  "product": {
    "name": "TS-LPR",
    "version": "v0.5.0A (64-bit)"
  },
  "license": {
    "type": "genuine",
    "maxChannels": 64
  }
}

Of course, both are completely the same data in terms of content.
