Switching between color and black & white

[hmjgriffon]

Anyone know the http api command for this? I'm lookin through ftp://ftp.wintel.fi/drivers/dahua/SDK-HTTP_ohjelmointi/DAHUA_IPC_HTTP_API_V1.00x.pdf but not sure which one does it. Or do I have to just switch between day and night profile?

I use this to switch between day and night, and just have the parameters set the way I want (on the camera) for each mode:

if ($mode eq "night")
    {
    
    $mode_url="http://$camera_data{user}:$camera_data{pass}\@$camera_data{host}:$camera_data{port}/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=1";
    
    }


if ($mode eq "day")
    {
    
    $mode_url="http://$camera_data{user}:$camera_data{pass}\@$camera_data{host}:$camera_data{port}/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=0";
        
    }

Yeah I've decided to just switch profiles instead of that one setting, I'm curious though, how are you using your code, home automation?

Yes. I have built up a "smart house" over the years. The code is from my automation server. We call her "Crystal".

Haha, maybe you should do a build out thread I bet lots of people would be interested and could trade ideas and stuff.

So all you need to do to switch profiles is send a cmd through http? Like below
http://admin:password\@192.168.2.30:port/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInMode[0].Config[0]=1

Correct, and for me the numbers are:
0 = Day
1 = Night
2 = Normal

Here's the latest version (1.56) of the API doc

Dammit! Can't figure out how to escape the link to keep it from eating parts of it.
Use this.
