Obtaining camera parameters

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.

 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" } } } }
