Note that this requires an SSH Server to be installed on the Gateway’s Host system.

  1. Get service information of the gateway’s connection.
    Curl

    Code Block
    curl --location 'https://<UPLINK SERVICE URL>/api/device/<CAMERA_ID FROM GATEWAY ACCESS TOKEN>' --header 'Authorization: Bearer <UPLINK SERVICE PASSWORD>'

    Response

    Code Block
    {"camid": "3045", "proxy_id": "b4d185e7efdfa0f4ce01", "forwards": [{"name": "camera-gateway-http", "protocol": "http", "host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 80, "proxy_port_number": 33984, "proxy_host": "b4d185e7efdfa0f4ce01.proxy.cloud-vms.com", "proxy_url": "http://b4d185e7efdfa0f4ce01.proxy.cloud-vms.com:33984", "proxy_port": 33984}, {"name": "camera-gateway-ssh", "protocol": "tcp", "host": "172.31.2.21", "port": 22, "proxy_port_number": 33985, "proxy_host": "b4d185e7efdfa0f4ce01.proxy.cloud-vms.com", "proxy_port": 33985}]}
