Hello,
I am having an issue with NetCam Studio API.
Cameras are shifting their IDs when other cameras are removed. So the url of a camera that used to be http://server.com:8100/Mjpeg/15 is now reconfigured with the ID=14 (http://server.com:8100/Mjpeg/14) because Camera 3 was previously removed.
Is there any workaround? I need the cameras url to be fixed
Thanks!
Hi Fabio!
Yes, I agree. It is a little bit to dynamic 
However, to keep the ID do the following. Right click on the camera image. At the top of the menu you can enable/disable the camera. Disable it. It will keep the position/ID, but it will not show up in the clients so the ID for the rest of the cameras are preserved.

Oh, ok, I see your point. I’ll do that, thanks!
Another thing, please: the API provides a GUID for each camera, is that right? I can see it in the service’s return:
Id:0,
SourceName: “camera 1”,
SourceUID: “8e0f6526-d1b4-40a5-be90-1fd3761dd071”
My question: is it really unique, per camera? Is there a way in the API to query cameras based on this parameter?
Thanks Henrik!
Hm, I am not sure where you find that SourceUID ? Usually that long text string, Token, is a combination of several parameters like camera source, access control, … or camera source, video, date, time, … access. It sure is an internal format.
Here you can find more about WebAPI for control of NCS. It is better to use these standard commands http://netcamstudio.com/WebService
