I made some progress on the second part using the URL CGI commands. I still have not had any luck displaying the live stream, I can only get the “IOException: Max buffer size reached” error.
For anyone that needs it, you can format the URL commands as follows for ACTi:
system.net.httpPost("http://192.168.0.100/cgi-bin/cmd/encoder?ZOOM=DIRECT,500","/","/",10000,60000,"Admin","123456")Or the following format allows the user/password to be encrypted and prompts for it:
system.net.httpPost("http://192.168.0.100/cgi-bin/cmd/encoder", {"ZOOM":"DIRECT,1000"})
