Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
I did a test on one camera by sending this command to it. Working Mode is set to Customized Scene. When I send the night command below, it doesn't change the camera to the Night profile. Any thoughts on what to check? I do get the "OK" response in the browser window. NIGHT...

Because we have had so many incidents over the years, I had finally convinced the neighbor at the beginning of the subdivision to allow me to put my LPR camera on their house so we could get everything coming in and out as they have a better angle and shorter distance than I do. I think many of...

What's going on with the picture changing brightness? That is usually too big of a range of gain. So the dark truck comes by and gain increases. Try a smaller range or go to custom shutter to get you access to the gain control.

and their ISP threw a fit within 2 days and called them and said if whatever device is IPC-LPR isn't removed from their internet they will be cut off. We found out Spectrum unlimited really is limited LOL. Yeah we talk often about how if you try to stream cameras 24/7 to like a cloud service...
Yes, the API changed for Web 5 cameras. Some functions were added, removed and changed.
In looking through the API, there does not appear to be any references to switching modes from day to night and back again like in the Web 4 cameras. Thus the approach of changing the schedule to simulate that function was utilized.
Let us know if you find a solution.
There is already known solution. You will find it in another thread if you search for it.

SD4A425DB-HNY Day/Night Switch
Hey all - Okay - I give up and need to make a post - I have scoured through past posts for the past 3 days to try to figure out how to manually trigger the SD4A425DB-HNY between Day/Night mode from BI via web command. I have read that some have had success using...

Let's back up and see if you have success with the following URL. It obtains information from the camera and displays it in a browser.
To use change the user, password and camera IP to your settings.
If it functions and displays pages of data, then your are on your way to success with other API calls. If it fails, then you have more work to do to resolve that issue.

I tried this with HTTPS, and yes, my browser tells me i'm trying to login with admin to the site and then I click OK, and it dumps a huge list of stuff.
I also tried it with postman w/ digest authentication and got the following response as well:
Glad to see it is working.
Did it also work when your user/password is included in the URL? That part will be needed if using Hubitat. On a Windows computer if the user/pass if not included, then the browser will pop up a login field. OK for testing but not for Hubitat use.
The next step is to review the code posted on this site and see what works for your needs using your browser. If it functions in the browser (i.e. makes the desired camera changes) then constructing an APP in Hubitat is the next step.

Well, I think there's an assumption here that I'm using hubitat.. maybe I should be.. but i'm not at that level of automation yet.. i'm still on dumb old smartthings. Is there another lighterweight way of just running an API command periodically via a docker container +script before I make the full leap into something like hubitat or another similar platform ?
Have only used on the Hub. However, it would be worth a try to use Power Shell or any program that can send the URL as a "send HTTP get".
Started with ST some time ago but switched to Hubitat as did not like the dependence on the Cloud for ST. Thus have not tried ST for any Dahua HTTP API use.

There may be other ideas on how to make it work with ST.

Sending GET requests
Use the HubAction with the IP:Port as a HOST parameter and make sure the hub action is returned from your command method: def myCommand() { def result = new physicalgraph.device.HubAction( method: "GET", path: "/yourpath?param1=value1¶m2=value2", headers: [...

Any reason you settled on hubitat vs HomeAssistant ? I'm looking right now into trying to setup NodeRed as a general automation catchall platform for little annoyances like this. Ideally I'll have it query once an hour using an API call, and then have it inspect the response to see if it's the desired bitrate or not.. and if not.. then set the desired bitrateHave only used on the Hub.

. It's a rediculous kludge, but I think it'll work.finally figured it out:
cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Manual
sets the white light to ON
cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Off
sets it off
cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Manual
sets the white light to ON
cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Off
sets it off
How did you figure this out? It's not in the latest API spec that I know of (v3.26). Since this is your one and only post to date, I have to ask, are you a bot?
hahaha no I am not a bot.. just a lurker here but have multiple cameras from Andy.
If I recall correctly I inspected the config api and noticed this entry:
Lighting_V2[0][1][0].Mode=Off
Then tested with manual and it worked!
