Telnet Commands?

[codetrap]

Does anyone have any experience with the telnet interface to set image parameters? I'm looking to use the cli to set the gain, exposure etc to override the automatic settings. I looked into using a curl script via the pzt but unfortunately on my SWADS-466CAM's the firmware is a little bit crippled that way.

Of course, if anyone knows how to get this stupid swan cam to take pzt commands, that would be great as well.

So, I was able to use the iVMS-4200 software to set the exposure and other various stuff, and the camera logs report that it was set using PZT configuration.

I read a thread about the generic ONVIF, so I downloaded that ONVIF device manager and it can see the cameras too and adjust the exposure as well.

I guess what I'm asking, is how do I get BI to do this so I don't have to manually set the exposure/gain/brightness etc every single night manually?
