=== Installation

As a RubyGem[http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/3]):

gem install axis-netcam

As a plugin in a Rails application (this will install as an svn external, so your installation will be linked to the newest, bleeding-edge version of AxisNetcam):

cd <your Rails application's root directory> ruby script/plugin install -x http://axis-netcam.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/lib/axis-netcam

=== Usage

Note that only a subset of the full Axis API is currently implemented, but the most useful functionality is in place.

Example usage:

require 'rubygems' # (if installed as a gem) require 'axis-netcam'

c = AxisNetcam::Camera.new(:hostname => '192.168.2.25', :username => 'root', :password => 'pass') c.tilt(90) c.zoom(500) f = File.open('/tmp/test.jpg', 'wb') f.bin f.write(c.snapshot_jpeg) f.close

For more information about using the Camera class, see the AxisNetcam::Camera RDocs.
