automatic control of black/white and IR

What API command did you use to query the camera's present state?

The same as used in post #7 above... specific to WDR, in my case
http://<ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoInOptions[0]XXX with XXX=WideDynamicRange (for ‘Day’) or =NightOptions.WideDynamicRange (for ‘Night’)

Are you saying that the above API command failed to prove that the camera was auto-switching profiles based on brightness?

@jaydeel...how do you understand this QlusterFuQage?

From IPC/Camera Configuration - Dahua Wiki...

Profile Management tab
  • Normal which applies the day and night settings automatically
  • Full time which lets you choose day or night time.
  • Schedule which you can set day and night on the camera by time.

bp2008 already described the Normal Profile’s opaqueness in his opening statement sharing the DahuaSunsetSunrise service utility.

Thanks, I hadn't read that. Perhaps it is simply a Qluster FuQ and what we're after simply isn't possible.

I’m stubbornly coming to same conclusion...

Btw, I’ve sought out a more current API document to simplify discovery, but have been thwarted so far... ‘end users’ DENIED

When I’m feeling up to learning something (much) more complicated (WireShark), I’ll test out sniffing out commands used by the webUI.

@jaydeel have you try to run the 2 command but using "normal" instead of "Nightoptions"?

My thinking is that the normal option is using light sensor to switch mode.

I did that by setting both Night and normal (SwitchMode & Profile) with this command...

Code: 
http://192.168.33.203:80/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[0].NightOptions.SwitchMode=1&VideoInOptions[0].NightOptions.Profile=3&[0].NormalOptions.SwitchMode=1&VideoInOptions[0].NormalOptions.Profile=3

The commands completed successfully.
