ZoneMin...star720p(3)

📦 version 1.38.6, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ZoneMinder::Control::Instar720p — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (yes, the perl v5.42.3 crew, we'll get to them at the end 🫶), and it's all about the ZoneMinder::Control::Instar720p module. buckle up, it's giving camera-nerd realness ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ZoneMinder::Control::Instar720p — the Instar CGI 720p camera control module, literally exactly what it says on the tin 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so this module is where the implementation of the CGI 720p Instar Cameras lives. it was built with the model IN-7011 HD, which — and I quote, thank you Instar — ist no HD-Camera. 😭 not me reading that straight off the page. the audacity. the irony. slay anyway.

⚠️ NOTE, and this is a big one bestie: this module implements interaction with the camera in clear text. like, no encryption, no vibes-protection, nothing. 🚨

the login and password get transmitted from ZM to the camera in clear text, so this module should be used ONLY on a blind LAN implementation where the risk of someone intercepting the packets is very low. fr fr, do not put this on the open internet, i am begging you 🙈

and here's the actual param CGI string it rolls with, verbatim, do not touch:

param.cgi?cmd=getimageattr var brightness="6"; var saturation="3"; var
sharpness="4"; var contrast="4"; var hue="0"; var wdr="on"; var
night="on"; var shutter="0"; var flip="off"; var mirror="off"; var
gc="100"; var noise="on";

look at all those little var settings just vibing there. brightness, saturation, sharpness, contrast, hue, wdr, night, shutter, flip, mirror, gc, noise — the whole glow-up checklist 💖
