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. This behavior can be overridden by deactivating the auto setting of infraredcutstat using the setinfrared command. As long as the image mode (see getimagemode above) is in auto the night state will also reflect which image settings are currently in use (see getimageattr and getimagenightattr above): [0, 1]
