.SH NAME
ZoneMinder::Control::Amcrest_HTTP \- Amcrest camera control
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module contains the implementation of the Amcrest Camera
controllable SDK API.
.PP
NOTE: This module implements interaction with the camera in clear text.
.PP
The login and password are transmitted from ZM to the camera in clear text,
and as such, this module should be used ONLY on a blind LAN implementation
where interception of the packets is very low risk.
.PP
The "usleep (X);" lines throughout the script may need adjustments for your
situation.  This is the time that the script waits between sending a "start"
and a "stop" signal to the camera.  For example, the pan left arrow would
result in the camera panning full to its leftmost position if there were no
stop signal.  So the usleep time sets how long the script waits to allow the
camera to start moving before issuing a stop.  The X value of usleep is in
microseconds, so "usleep (100000);" is equivalent to wait one second.
