Hey @BourgeoisBear

Thanks for putting this code up .

I have a few questions …

do you know if I an configure the video feed properties using this http api ?

Do you know if I can control the ptz ?

did you manse to do software updates ?

what models is this designed to work with ?

sorry about all the questions .

It’s for a science project where I need a few cameras to experiment with and to reprobate the video feed onto a 3d model - video fusion is what I call it .

amdacli 'user:userpass@mycam' All

will retrieve all of the options your camera provides. The Dahua/Amcrest API is digest-authenticated HTTP GET calls with the commands encoded into the URL. The available options vary from camera to camera. amdacli just batches & submits requests. Here's one of the API manuals:

DAHUA_IPC_HTTP_API_V1.00x.pdf

To set values, here's an example:

amdacli "$CAM_ALL" 'GPS[0].SyncTime=true'

In this example, $CAM_ALL is a shell environment variable with my connect information (user name, password, host name/ip). A settings key (GPS[0].SyncTime) without an assignment operator queries the current value.
