The camera type is the most comprehensive type(node) that we use when downloading recordings, getting a live stream or checking camera availability. In addition, a query for the camera type returns many parameters about the camera.
\uD83D\uDCD8 Example - Obtaining camera parameters:
By querying the camera type, we obtain information about the serial number (serial_number), connection status (is_connected) and camera ip address (source_ip). The mandatory parameter node_id can be found using the query List of all elements and type on cameraList or nodeList.
Query:
query {
camera(node_id:140094){
name
serial_number
is_connected
connection{
source_ip
}
}
}
Response:
{
"data": {
"camera": {
"name": "MyCamera",
"serial_number": "ACCC8EE8A9CA",
"is_connected": true,
"connection": {
"source_ip": "211.21.111.111"
}
}
}
}
