NodeJS Module: node-dahua-api

Hello man, great api you made. Im really looking forward to use it but i simply cannot connect to the darn ASC 1204B-S Dahua controller wich holds the API.
I'm using this command curl to test the API:
curl -G But i always get connection refused, no matter what user, curl parameter nor url i use!
How did you managed to connect?
 
If your camera is set to use digest for authentication, you might try
curl -g --user user:password --digest http://cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi

This will be the dedicated Support & Discussion thread for this project, contributions are very welcome!

Right now I want to know what functionality you think I should add to this, there is no way I am implementing the entire API.. I started with the functionality I needed the most, but im sure there are other things to be done.

Also need testers to start playing with it, with new cameras and old to make sure it works for all Dahuas.. Ive already found changing day/night profile is dependent on features being avilable.

Installing the module fails for me....maybe its too old for the latest node.js?
