Using the continuation parameter (XML only)
There is a limit of the number of files that will be returned with each call to download (this limit can specified via the results parameter described above). If there are more files available that meet the specified search criteria, a value will be included in the head of the returned XML page. Subsequently, to obtain the next batch of files matching the search criteria, make the same request again, but this time include this continuation value as a parameter to the download call. You can repeat this process until there are no further files to obtain, which will be indicated when the returned XML page does not contain a continuation value.
Example
download?cameraNum=0&cameraNum=2&ccFilesCheck=1&ageText=5
Returned data
An HTML or XML page containing a list of files that match the search criteria, with download links to the the files themselves.

Returned data
The requested file.

Note
Command 99 is only applicable to cameras that support continuous movement. For cameras that support movement in individual steps, this command does nothing.
PTZ capabilities
Request format
getptzcapabilities?cameraNum=X
Parameters
cameraNum - the number of the camera
Example
getptzcapabilities?cameraNum=0
Returned data
A text page containing a single number, which is the sum of the following constants:
| 1 | Pan and Tilt |
| 2 | Home |

So for example if the number returned is 9, this means the camera support Pan, Tilt, and Presets, but not Home or Zoom, and that the camera moves in discreet steps and does not require 'Stop movement' commands. If the camera does continuous movement, it is necessary to issue a 'Stop movement' command (99) after issuing any move or zoom command (1-11 in the PTZ command table above).

▸ Authentication in URL
It is possible to encode a username and password into the URL itself, so that when it's used, the web browser won't ask for login details. This can be useful, for example, if you want to password-protect your SecuritySpy server, but then make a particular camera publicly available. With SecuritySpy there are two way to do this:
The standard way to encode the username and password into the URL is like this:
Security Spy 4 2 9 – Multi Camera Video Surveillance Apps
http://username:password@address/resource
SecuritySpy also supports the use of an auth parameter on any resource, like this:
Anytrans 4 9 4 – complete ios content management. http://address/resource?auth=xyz
Parameters to HTML requests go after a question mark character after the resource name, and if there are multiple parameter=value pairs, they are separated by ampersand characters, for example:
Security Spy 4 2 9 – Multi Camera Video Surveillance App Camera
http://address/resource?param1=value1¶m2=value2&auth=xyz
The value of the auth parameter is the Base64-encoded version of the string username:password. So for example, to request a video stream for camera 1, where the username is user and the password is pass, the URL would be as follows:
http://address/video?cameraNum=1&auth=dXNlcjpwYXNz
