Had to enable websockets. Still the same error...
Noting that I didn't restart the PTZ after enabling websockets. Should I restart?
SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

I suspect it's ISAPI differences. Our cameras probably have different ways of accessing those settings.
Try this in Chrome:

The command worked! However I ran it in IE11 and not Chrome... output below
Ok, that's a step in the right direction. To edit the settings we need to use an extension to send HTTP requests from Chrome.
In Chrome, install this extension. Talend API Tester - Free Edition

Open the extension with the icon at the end of the URL field.
Set the METHOD to GET
Amend and paste the following in the SCHEME / HOST field:
Click Send and hopefully you will get a Response 200 OK

Great. Next step is to send a PUT request to change the settings.
Set the METHOD to PUT
Use the same URL as before.
In the Body field paste the following text:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Exposure>
<ExposureType>manual</ExposureType>
<OverexposeSuppress>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<Type>MANUAL</Type>
<DistanceLevel>35</DistanceLevel>
</OverexposeSuppress>
</Exposure>
Click send.
If that works we can figure out the right settings next.

It's working now... I had to disable the Image Parameters Switch...
changed exposure to 'Manual' from 'Auto'
changed exposure to 'Manual' from 'Auto'
This is where our cameras differ. One of the parameters is not supported or labeled differently on your camera.
In IE11, paste the following and share the result of Exposure.

The image parameter setting when enabled prevent and Image settings from being modified.
I'll paste in the output from the command http://192.168.1.29/ISAPI/Image/channels/1
Presumably this firmware version 5.6.0 doesn't permit the Exposure slide bar from being access even via ISAPI?
Thanks for this... so... what's the process to restore the settings back to prior to making these changes?
