c# control of ip webcam

I recently purchased a cheap pan/tilt webcam, the camera is pretty cool but the interface leaves alot to be de开发者_C百科sired.

Its all web based but I was hoping to make a winform application so I can fit it a little better to my needs. (bind directions to arrow keys, remove some of the engrish)

my question is how can I capture the comands that are being sent via the web interface and then reproduce it in c#

If you can't get hold of the API-documentation, you could try to sniff packets sent to the camera using e.g. wireshark. Hopefully the commands are sent in clear text.

There is a API-standard for networked cameras called Onvif, if you're lucky the camera conforms with that standard.
