Uploading one image to FTP for weather station purposes- advanced settings

[nocamipmatt]

Hello.

I have this camera: DS-2DE3A404IW-DE/W with pretty standard user interface.

My goal-if achievable is:

• Every day at 12:00:00 move camera from default to certain preset
• Take 1 snapshot in image format and upload it to FTP with fixed - standard name (eg. weather.jpg)
• return to default preset at 12:00:10.

Now I have set one preset which is set by initial position and parked action after 2 minutes.
I set the Image Parameters Switch to "schedule switch" for perion 1 and period 2 for outdoor and night mode.

Is the goal I am trying to achieve realistic? If so, how .

Thank you.
Matt

3A404 doesnt have Patrol, but you can do preset schedule.

At 11:59:55 schedule for Preset 1. Do a timly snapshot that is configured within Storage settings/Capture -> 1 day at 12:00
After that in schedule put at 12:00:10 Preset 2 which is Default point

Thank you for your answer, however I don't think it solves my problem.
I tried your solution, but it does not work, since I already have some rules in "Scheduled Switch" and I can not select "link to preset" at the same time. It is "OR" operator in this case.

I am thinking about (hiring someone) building a web app/ script .

App/script input parameters

• Login credentials
• Scheduled time for preset to be loaded ( daily/weekly/monthly/ at certain time (S),,,)
• Preset ID to be loaded
• Preset duration (time camera stays in that position
• Image filename to be uploaded to FTP via camera FTP settings

I might just contact this guy GitHub - nayrnet/node-hikvision-api: NodeJS Module for Hikvision IPC HTTP API

ISAPI jason queries are quite easy, you can play with it yourself using postman. There is entire ISAPI documentation.

You add IP,credentials, body msg and use PUT/GET,POST method and thats it.

Now you only need any amateur programmer to code to any script or app those queries to be automatic.
