netcamming

I'm attempting to modify this to simply run as a standalone script that I'll call with an external program based on actual luminance (lights levels) vs prescribed sunrise/sunset. Also, I have a need for three different profiles since I need one for night, one for morning (sun shining directly at cam), and day. Also, I'll be trying to add BLC as I have one cam that this setting is very effective for vs WDR.

Hikvision has API documentation, there's no need to do packet captures to find the commands. I posted a link a few months back. http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=36502 Oops, looks like they moved it, here's the current location: http://www.hikvisioneurope.com/portal/index.php?dir=Integration%20and%20Development%20Materials/00%20%20%20CGI/&file=HIKVISION%20CGI%20IPMD%20V1.5.9.pdf Just in case you didn't know there's a v2.0 of the API. http://oversea-download.hikvision.com/uploadfile/Leaflet/ISAPI/HIKVISION%20ISAPI_2.0-IPMD%20Service.pdf
