Dahua IP PTZ HTTP Command for wipe

[aledcsl]

Hi all,

First post on here so be gentle!

I am trying to send a wipe command to a DH-SD6AL230F-HNI-IR....
I have found (on this forum) a HTTP API document:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/amcrest-files/Amcrest+HTTP+API+3.2017.pdf

Using this I've managed to send a few different commands to various Dahua Kit and they all work flawlessly! Except for the wipe!

This is the string im using:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/ptz.cgi?action=start&channel=0&code=AuxOn&arg1=3&arg2=0&arg3=0&arg4=0

The only thing i can find in the documentation that could possibly refer to the wiper is 'AuxOn/Off' which does return an 'OK' in browser when i send the string, but alas, no wipe....

What i cant find is any detail on what the arguments should be (arg1,2,3,4 in the string above) which is an integeral part of the command!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! whether its to do with wipe or HTTP commands in general!

No guarantees, just something I found below, a PDF file.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the PDF, no luck I'm afraid, i get this response:

Error
ErrorID=2, Detail=Invalid Request!

I've tried subbing in a few terms from that string but still no luck!

These worked for me on a 6AL445XANR. Thanks.
Do you have the full manual/user guide that PDF page came from?

This thread is from 2021. I just spend all that time typing it out.... argh.

Please @Mike, @alastairstevenson, @fenderman enable the feature in Xenforo to display a banner saying "This thread is very old" .

"Rain Brush"
I could have sworn I had it working using AuxOn or AuxOff in the past. What pdf or website is this from? I've been racking my brain. Thanks for this!

From here on IPCT, posted by another member, I can't recall who though.

I've been racking my brain. Thanks for this!

You're welcome!
