  • infraredcutstat: IRcut filter - 0 (off), 1 (on), 2 (auto)
  • infraredtimer: Enable IR LED time schedule [0,1]
  • infraredday: Trigger time for day mode 24h=86400s [0-86399]

param.cgi?cmd=getnightstate

Night Image Settings State

  • state: Check if your camera is in day 0 or night 1 mode. The night mode by default is activated by the brightness sensor when the brightness drops below the set treshold (see below). This behavior can be overridden by deactivating the auto setting of infraredcutstat using the setinfrared command (s. above). As long as the image mode (see getimagemode) is in auto the night state will also reflect which image settings are currently in use (see getimageattr and getimagenightattr): [0, 1]

param.cgi?cmd=getlightmode

LEDs (IR: 850nm, 940nm, White Light)

  • mode: Only camera models with multiple LED sets 0 primary IR LEDs, 1 secondary IR LEDs, 2 activate both IR LED sets
  • onalarm: When set to 1 all LEDs will be turned on when an alarm is triggered (e.g. IN-8401 all 850nm & 940nm LEDs will be turned on if only the 940nm (invisible) set was on by default.). 0 means don't change anything.
  • interval: Interval in seconds that the additional LEDs are supposed to remain on [1-60]s after an alarm trigger.
  • wlonalarm: When set to 1 white light (WL) LEDs will be turned on when an alarm is triggered. 0 means don't change anything.
  • wlinterval: Interval in seconds that the white light (WL) LEDs are supposed to remain on [1-60]s after an alarm trigger.
  • wlmute: Suppress motion detection for [1-15]s when the white light (WL) LEDs are switched. Default 5 seconds.

Night/Day Mode Thresholds

Get the threshold values for the min/max brightness for switching to the night/day mode.
