    Day / Night profile switching

    As one could have perhaps guessed, ConfigEx=Normal is how you get to the General profile with the VideoInMode method.

    Day / Night profile switching

    Ironically it seems that VideoInMode might itself be "legacy", yet was updated to properly handle the new Customized Scene profiles? I was able to find reference to it in older Dahua/Amcrest API guides. The most recent I was able to find it in is V2.63 (you can Google for it), but in that doc...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    No, it most certainly isn't. And while they have still be a litlte helpful to me, there's such little info out there about this API in general (and it's not made in a very bang-up fashion) that LLMs aren't even particularly effective in assisting for the more challenging stuff like this (where...

    Day / Night profile switching

    No I hadn't but I appreciate it because it's useful to know the various different ways to try and accomplish the same thing, since they may have pros/cons. I have that API doc already. It is the latest I can find as well, but ironically it doesn't include some of the newer Web 5.0 stuff even...

    Day / Night profile switching

    I'm sure they very well would work, but it seems like a slightly older approach from before Customized Scene was added, and (correct me if I'm wrong), works by essentially forcing the Day or Night profiles from within the Day/Night Working mode, while simultaneously disabling auto-switch. At...

    EmpireTech aka Dahua LPR Settings

    I'm about to embark on changing my Web 5 camera profiles via the API myself, and wondered the same thing about whether or not the camera would continue trying to mode change itself. I had the same idea as you, clearing out the Time Plan section in hopes that would just disable the time schedule...

    Day / Night profile switching

    (Sorry for the multiple replies, the forum maintenance keeps particularly getting in my way for edits) It seems that note in the manual does make sense, as most of the VideoInOptions were broken down into smaller sections via the endpoints mentioned (5.1 - 5.7); however, having had more time to...

    Day / Night profile switching

    Thanks, this obviously is more on the nose for changing the actual mode. I've been pursing the API doc and poking around one of my cameras via curl. Seems like the VideoInOptions portion might have been deprecated actually (from the manual): but even if that's true, I'm going to get this...

    Day / Night profile switching

    Thanks! I've done HTTP requests via HA before so this all looks like a pretty solid starting point. I do still wonder about the Customized Scene schedule's possible interference, but I'll try blanking it out like I noted before and just see if it works.

    Day / Night profile switching

    Hey, sorry to grave-dig this old thread, but I'm trying to figure out the profile situation myself with a T54IR-ZE-S3. From everything I've absorbed so far, it really does seem like a home automation platform, if you already have one up and running, is the way to go. In my case although I have a...

    Yet another clarification about Dahua Day/Night modes and profiles

    Not 100% sure, but I believe I at least found a (somewhat) reliable way to tell what profile the Camera is in when on the Day/Night mode setting. For example, if I select the Night profile in the drop down, and set some obvious setting (like minimum brightness) and then hit Apply, followed by...

    Yet another clarification about Dahua Day/Night modes and profiles

    Just recently acquired two EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3 (only one is setup), and while the quality isn't quite what I was hoping for, I'm sure some of it just comes down to settings and the situation will improve over time. While understandable since there are so many models, it's frustrating...
