The 6 mm is the old GUI. The 180 degree is the new blue GUI. Worked on both.....
DRUM ROLL.........
With help from above, I have figured out the APIs to change profiles for this camera!!!!!
Here is the API to go to Night profile :
Here is the API to go to Day profile :
This code will overwrite the schedules in the GUI - when you run the night API, it will change all the times and months to NIGHT and when you run the day profile, it will change all the schedules in the GUI to DAY.
So we cannot use the standalone sunrise/sunset utility, but fortunately @bp2008 provided updated instructions in that thread on how to make it happen in BI, we just need to change the API in his instructions to this one.

Dahua day/night switch utility - DahuaSunriseSunset
I wanted to use stronger noise reduction at night and weaker during the day, but Dahua seems to have made a mess of the profile management. On most cameras, there doesn't seem to be a way to have the camera switch automatically between Day and Night profiles when the camera changes between...

Or if you're using a home automation system you can configure it to make multiple API calls at the same time. The rules below are using Hubitat to change the mode, focus & zoom, frame rate and bit rate between day and night on my LPR camera. I have similar rules for my other cameras as well and it works great.

When I was running the cameras and Hubitat on the same network using Hubitat to make Dahua API calls that system worked fine. Had to add a little delay so that the hub would process correctly or it would sometimes be creative and skip a few calls.
When a second NIC was added to the computer to separate the internet from the cameras there was no longer an easy way to get Hubitat to work in that scenario. If you know of a way to make that happen and will still retain 100% internet isolation let me know. Thus went back to using the BI sunset/rise utility that is more limited, but works for my needs.

I've seen the same thing that's why I have a 5 sec delay between calls.
The only thing I can think of is adding a separate Hubitat hub to your camera network. You could basically accomplish the same thing with a RPi running Home Assistant.

Yes, moved the Hub to the sub net (2nd NIC) as a try in July. Without a router on the sub network the Hub would not work. Could not even change the Hub IP address. Posted the issue on the Hubitat forum and the conclusion was it can not be done. Thus using the BI utility which works fine.
Would rather not add another computer to the system. Just one more device to take care of plus additional power consumption. Appreciate the suggestions....

So the only difference between day and night is the " at the end of the string?DRUM ROLL.........

Here is the API to go to Night profile (no spaces between USER : PW) and should all be one line
: PW@IPADDRESS/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=0&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=0"
Here is the API to go to Day profile (no spaces between USER : PW)
: PW@IPADDRESS/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.SwitchMode=3&VideoInOptions[].NightOptions.DayNightColor=0

It's in the "SwitchMode" part of the statement kind of toward the end.
The " was just trying to get it to show without the hyperlinks and stuff, but it is in the middle of the string where a 3 changes to 0.
I will correct that post if I can figure out how to get it to show as just text LOL

I see says the blind old guy. 
Yeah but then a user can't copy/paste and would have to type it all in

Just ran tests and it works fine here! One problem solved. Thanks Wittaj!!!

No joy here, I'm sure I've screwed up something. But then again, I have not done an additional 42 factory defaults yet.
After my last series of defaults, now for the first time, Time is off by 2 hrs, and it's all setup correctly.
Sweet I learned something new! I have revised the previous post to use CODE

I've never played with presets for a PTZ, no PTZ here. I was surprised I got it working that easily. If "SwitchMode=0" is night mode and "SwitchMode=3" is day mode what is "SwitchMode=2"? I guess some additional testing is in order to figure out which "SwitchMode" yields which profile.
