No videostatus.cgi API for the F9114 Main Unit? How to check the status of the sensors connected to the F9114?

[jerome-suray]

Hello.

I'm using a F9114 Main Unit (current Firmware version=11.8.61) with 2 camera sensors.
I want to check, programmatically, if the video of a sensor is not available. (sensor disconnected or defective)

I wanted to use the API endpoint "/axis-cgi/videostatus.cgi" to check if there is a video signal from my sensors but I get a 404 HTTP error.

Is the videostatus API not available for the F9114 Main Unit?
Is there another API that could tell me if a sensor is connected and the video is available?

Answers to your questions will most often come from the community, from developers like yourself. You will, from time to time, find that Axis employees answers some of the questions, but this is not a guarantee. Think of the discussion forum as a complement to other support channels, not a replacement to any of them.

If your question remains unanswered for a period of time, please revisit it to see whether it can be improved by following the guidelines listed in Axis support guidelines.

Hi @jerome-suray ,
I have tested the Video status API (videostatus.cgi?status=1,2,3,4) with AXIS F9114 Main Unit (AXIS OS version 12.1.64) and found that it is not supported.

I was able to find one of the event metadata from the AXIS F9114 Main Unit (AXIS OS version 12.1.64) which can be used.

1. If you are working with ACAP SDK then try to subscribe "tns1:VideoSource/tnsaxis:Connections":
   subscribe_to_event

2. Using WebSocket events with Python:
   axis_websocket_events

3. Using AXIS Media Parser SDK
