Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset

[DavidDavid]

Thanks for your reply
do you have any other solution that can be run on linux system ?

Now I know why Nayr has his profile management scripted externally, but even that seems to be a mess: Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

I'm using @nayrs solution on my raspberry pi that's running Linux (raspbian) but you can also run domotocz on multiple different OS I believe.

Any code to share from your raspberry pi ?

This thread was about temperature overlay but the code for the profile switching is also in here.

Temperature Overlay in Dahua Cameras

Also used this

Switch Dahua Day/Night Profile via IPC HTTP API

And

Script only running the second command - Domoticz

Thank you for the links
I need some bash scripts (or php/nodejs) instead of domoticz script
(For automation i will use later on openHab2)

This is awesome and simple. After everything is set can we close the app? Or it has to stay open?

If the service is started you can close the app, it continues to run in the background.

Hi
@bp2008

I'm trying to make a bash script for linux to allow dahua camera to switch between day and night mode

I successfully get the Sunrise/Sunset time from script using api.sunrise-sunset.org.
It allow me to get the Sunrise and Sunset of the day and of the next day (UTC time)

I want to know what command did you send to camera to switch day and night mode ?

Hope someone here can help me

Thanks

 

[bp2008]

Enter day profile:

/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=0

Enter night profile:

/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=1

Quick question. Was setting this up with no issues until I got to my IPC-HDW4231EM-ASE. Everytime I click "Get Current Zoom/Focus" nothing happens. Checked, double, triple checked IP/port login info. However this camera has NO zoom....so I'm wondering... is that the problem?

 

[bp2008]

Yeah, if your camera hasn't got a motorized lens, you don't need to worry about the zoom/focus stuff.

May I retract that idiot question? No idea why I was thinking it had AF....

Hi
@bp2008
Is it possible to have the day/night status of the camera with API after sending the command ?
I wish my script to check the status of the camera mode

Thanks

Yeah, I imagine you could find the mode in the response from:

http://192.168.0.38/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=VideoInMode

I 'm checking the response of day/night command, if response is "OK" then command is success else resend the command again.

Sunrise Offsets Hours: is it for day command to be running only before Sunrise or can also be after ? Same question for Sunset ?

The number is simply added to the calculated sunrise or sunset time.

So if your sunrise is 6 AM and sunset is 6 PM and you have an offset of 1 in both places, then the sunrise and sunset actions will take effect at 7 AM and 7 PM. If you use a negative number like -1 then the actions will occur at 5 AM and 5 PM.

Can this be pinned to the top?

Hi
As i'm writting a bash code to run Sunrise/Sunset profile, i need some informations.
After setting Sunrise/Sunset to camera to get the right profile (day/night), what other commands are needed to be done ?
Are Zoom/Focus command need to be set when profile mode is done ?
