Used to send an HTTP command to the IP camera.

The command string must be an HTTP URL. The syntax depends on the manufacturer.

E.g. to send PTZ commands to an Axis IP Camera with PTZ control:

SendIPCameraCommand ("http://x.x.x.x/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?move=home")

SendIPCameraCommand ("http://x.x.x.x/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?move=up")

etc...

(replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the camera)

The syntax reference for Axis IP cameras can be found here:
