Camelopard NPM

Camelopard

Camelopard is an IP camera toolbox for Nodejs.

Currently Camelopard only supports a couple of the most common API objects (like image, ptz, parameters) for controlling an Axis IP camera, but more control commands will be added.

Installation

npm install camelopard

Example

Small demo applications can be found here: https://github.com/fsandx/camelopard-keeper

Below is an example of how to capture and download a snapshot from two different cameras at the same time:

var camelopard  = require('camelopard'),
   _           = require('lodash');

var data = {
 "cameras": [
   {
     "name": "A-Building",
     "brand": "Axis",
     "ip": "192.168.0.150", 
     "username": "root",
     "password": "pass",
     "snapshot": {
       "resolution": "1024x768",
       "compression": 30,
       "rotation": 0,
       "cameraNum": 1,
       "downloadFolder": "files\/snapshots"
     }
   },
   {
     "name": "B-Building",
     "brand": "Axis",
     "ip": "192.168.0.200", 
     "username": "root",
     "password": "pass",
     "snapshot": {
       "resolution": "1024x768",
       "compression": 30,
       "rotation": 0,
       "cameraNum": 1,
       "downloadFolder": "files\/snapshots"
     }
   }
 ]
};

var cams = data.cameras;

_.forEach(cams, function (conf) {
 camelopard.image.download(conf, function (err, res) {
   if (!_.isUndefined(err)) {
     console.log('Error!' + err);
   } else {
     console.log('Image file downloaded as: ' + res);
   }
 });
});
