is it possible to control the empire tech T180 led lights with BI?
 
Nope we have tried to figure out the API but haven't cracked it yet LOL. They are either on or off.

In the newest API document I have, right above "change binocular camera's splice mode (5.8.1)" there is mention of lighting control which is new.
I don't know if this would work with the T180 because I do not have that camera.


I hope this has some relevance to lighting on this camera?

Code:
/* Get lighting config - 5.7.1*/
/Syntax:
http://<server>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=Lighting

head.Mode=ZoomPrio
head.NearLight[0].Angle=0
head.NearLight[0].Light=0
head.MiddleLight[0].Angle=50
head.MiddleLight[0].Light=50

/Comments:
head = table.Lighting[ChannelNo][ConfigNo]:

ChannelNo: integer, array index starts from 0, which means video channel (equals to video channel index -1, and so 0 means channel 1).
