Camera registration¶

Terminology¶

• Token is a randomly generated string with a length of twenty characters, containing a random combination of letters and numbers
• Fingerprint is unique identifier of the camera, it is generated by the camera itself
• Printer UUID is unique identifier of the printer

Registration process¶

Register camera by user¶

User can add a new camera in Connect. Connect will send a POST /app/printers/<printer_uuid>/camera request, which will create a new camera instance

Connect distinguishes two types of cameras:

• WEB: user will receive and scan the QR code, which contains the token, using a camera on the device (e.g. mobile phone) and will be redirected to the web page, where he can use the camera

• OTHER: user will receive a token itself, which will authenticate the communication between the camera and Connect in the user specific application

The camera will send its fingerprint together with the first image to Connect
