WAVE Server HTTP REST API

  • Updated

Applies to:  WAVE Server API

Summary:

Wisenet WAVE VMS Server offers a mostly HTTP-based API, which can be utilized by both VMS Client applications and third-party software for integration. This API offers a range of functions, allowing you to read and save entities in the System database, control Server behavior, and retrieve video streams.

With the Server API, developers have access to nearly every feature available in the system's client, including but not limited to:

  • Query/Manage system resources (servers, cameras, users) 
  • Manage users and permissions 
  • View device information
  • Get device footage
  • Create, get, and delete bookmarks 
  • Retrieve storage information
