Dahua RemoteVideoAnalyseRule API Syntax

[phonebooth]

Hi everyone

I'm on a mission to automate some of the notification/arming aspects of my Dahua camera system. I'm trying to enable/disable a specific IVS rule for Camera 1 (channel 0). I can see in the device config that the specific config line that needs modification is:

From:

table.RemoteVideoAnalyseRule[0][1].Enable=true

To:

table.RemoteVideoAnalyseRule[0][1].Enable=false

I've confirmed this is the line of config that needs to be changed by dumping all device config, disabling the IVS rule, and then dumping the config again. This is the only change that I can detect.

When I execute the below HTTP GET query, the NVR accepts the query with a 200 OK response, but the IVS rule does not enable/disable. What am I doing wrong?

https://<NVR IP>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&RemoteVideoAnalyseRule[0][1].Enable=false

Here is the JSON tree for RemoteVideoAnalyseRule channel 0 rule 1 (Rule 0 is "VideoAbnormalDetection")

Did you figure this out? I'm also trying to get less notifications.

Yeah. I spent $100 on Blue Iris and didn’t look back. Best CCTV software out there and it puts the Dahua NVR to shame. You’ll get very granular control over your notifications.

I’m Australian so about $81 (thought it was closer to $100).
