IP-Camera

The command line interface allows you to create, modify or close IP-Camera windows.

The command line interface can be accessed in a number of ways:

From a shortcut specifying IPCAMCMD.EXE as the target followed by the command line options separated by spaces.

From a command prompt by specifying the full path of IPCAMCMD.COM or by having the folder where the IP-Camera
software was installed on the path.

From a batch file. The same rules as command prompt apply.
