Documentation for the Dahua HTTP API?

Hi all

Is there any definitive documentation of the current (or failing that, a relatively recent) version of Dahua HTTP API?

The most recent documentation I have is an Amcrest-branded "Revision 2.12" document dated 2017-03-15. That runs to 256 pages, but must be at least two years behind current camera firmware.

My cameras are running V2.800 (apart from a couple of stragglers on V2.623 and V2.64). Sending various getConfig commands reveals quite a few settings not covered by my old documentation, a few of which seem to be quite useful. For example, "StorageGroup[0].PicturePathRule" to set the directory hierarchy for snapshots.

Any and all pointers welcome!
Thanks
Sean
 
I’ve been trying to figure out how to turn on/off the LEDs and siren on my cams.

Being able to play a wav file would be super useful as well.
