Configuring events - Q1700, Q1785, Q1805

[dodgycamera]

Hi All,

Been pointed in this direction from Axis support. They have managed to help me to an extent but I would like to take it one step further. Essentially I want to run three different events on these cameras which enable the following on system ready:

IR Cut Filter: Off
Allow Illumination: On
IR Light: On

Axis support have provided the following which I would now like to incorporate together.

This activates the light itself.
{
"apiVersion": "1.4",
"context": "my context",
"method": "activateLight",
"params": {
"lightID": "led0"
}
}

This enables Allow Illumination.
{
"apiVersion": "1.4",
"context": "my context",
"method": "enableLight",
"params": {
"lightID": "led0"
}
}

This turns IR cut filter to off.

@dodgycamera what's the question or problem ? Did it not work ?

[dodgycamera]

@Cacsjep How can I incorporate all three into one event? Or even a script that runs locally on a Windows PC that is connected to said cameras.

[Cacsjep]

may explain more the context why you need this, would it not just enough to just set this settings once over webui, that should not change after a reboot =)

[dodgycamera]

So they problem I have is once the cameras have been configured over the webui, due to the number of the teams that have access to these cameras they play about with the settings. I need a fool proof way to make sure on reboot these cameras default back to the intended setting. Currently I have created three separate rules, which seem to work. My issue is I have thousands of these I need to update with this.

[Cacsjep]

Thanks for clarifying, I would made a small acap that set this settings. And would transfer the acap via ADM to all cameras.

Also you can create a python script that perform these 3 http requests for example every night or so.

Multiple ways of solving this. Question would be what's the easiest way for you. :)

If you need help just ping me :)

[dodgycamera]

Something like that python script sounds a little better. How can I reach out to you?
