Canon IP Cameras

Canon VB-C10 / VB-C10R

This camera can serve single JPG or stream MJPEG. I experienced lots of timeouts (blue images) when using JPG, so MJPEG is recommended.

A JPG is retreived via:

The MJPG stream is here:

http://IPADDRESS/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?frame_count=0

Here the ZM configuration that's working for me:

Maximum FPS (leave blank)
Remote Protocol	= HTTP
Remote Method	= Simple
Remote Host Name = (ip of camera)
Remote Host Port = 80
Remote Host Path = /-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?frame_count=0
Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels) = 640
Capture Height (pixels)	= 480

PTZ functions:

http://IPADDRESS/-wvhttp-01-/CameraPosition?pan=-1000&tilt=-3000&zoom=4001

(pan= -9200 to 9200) (tilt= 1001 to -9000) (zoom= 336 to 4304)

Reverse-engineering notes

I had to do some reverse-engineering to find these strings. I dumped the camera's file-system via FTP and analyzed the file "bin/webview" with the strings utility. That gave me clues as to what commands to try. (some of the parameters listed below might be optional.)
