Triggering

We are currently triggering our cameras via physical remote shutter release. I have specific timings for the cameras to ensure we get exactly the same amount of photos from each camera, and precise timing from when we push the master trigger button. I can use this software with digicam control running its webservice, but I need more functionality.I can currently capture with a single camera, with digicam control with the following command:http://192.168.110.20:5513/?CMD=CaptureI want to specify a few parameters in the URL:cameraname=CAM1capturemode=continuous or capturemode=singleburstnumber=2exposurecomp=2so a full command line could behttp://192.168.110.20:5513/?CMD=Capture&cameraname=CAM01&capturemode=continuous&burstnumber=2&exposurecomp=2Having the ability to do this will greatly simplify things by not requiring physical triggers for each separate camera.

Cool, I am able to set the parameters when a single camera is hooked up, but just having trouble specifying which camera when multiple cameras are connected, and which camera to direct the settings to.The other thing I notice is that the above commands take a bit of time to send, before getting to the capture command, when we send the command to capture, this has to be instantanious, as it's capturing action. I have separated the first 3 commands, and using the last command separetly, which speeds things up a lot.We have 5 cameras set up, cameras: CAM1, CAM2 and CAM3 all take a single shot, then CAM4 takes 2 shots a short time after, and CAM5 takes a single shot a few seconds after that. The timing is set by my script in the other program, but it's just the command itself that I am unsure of to send to dcc.Can I send a single commands to digicamcontrol which would trigger some of the cameras?What would the command be to just take a picture with say, CAM2, or CAM4.Thanks!

Check the latest beta, i add a new parameter to url camera, using it you can specify which camera use to execute the command, as value you can use camera name or camera serial.
