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"
      }
    }
  }
}
