Local UI Control via CGI commands
You can control the local UI output (VGA or HMI outputs) of your IC Realtime Recorder to show different split views and groups.
*IC Realtime recorders are set to digest authentication by default. Some integration platforms may require the authentication to be set on basic.
Live View
Local Output Control:
| http://ipaddress/cgi-bin/split.cgi?action=setMode&channel=0&mode=split1&group=0 |
Mode argument determines the Window Layout. Valid arguments are split1,split4,split8, split9,split16, split25, split36, split64 (Dependent on the split views supported by that model recorder). Group argument defines the group # of the split. mode=split4&group=1 displays cameras 5-8. Channel argument defines the video output channel (0 for most devices, for the first output). For example, the NVR-8128K has 6 HDMI outputs – this argument can control all 6 outputs independently by using channel=0-5 (for outputs 1-6, respectively).
Playback
*You will need to enable “Anonymous GUI Playback” under Main Menu> Advanced Settings> Security> System Service. This option is only available on the local interface. This feature is only available on some recorders with 4.0 GUI firmware. This feature is only on EL-NVR units.
