hikvisione programmatically switch the mode between day and night.

[NezarOd]

Good afternoon.
Help with C# code
You need to programmatically switch the mode between day and night.
According to the documentation, the byDayNightFilterType parameter is responsible for this

I try to do this - but the mode does not change ((
NET_DVR_DAYNIGHT dayNightConfig = new NET_DVR_DAYNIGHT();
dayNightConfig.byDayNightFilterType = 1; / Set night mode

Maybe something else needs to be added.
I'm not good at programming ((
Thank you!

I admire how you chose SDK over simple ISAPI request. If you camera have a web interface, just switch mode and catch/copy the requests.

I not only need to switch modes, but also view the image from the camera in my application. Why do I need requests if I still use SDK

 

[trempa92]

Because SDK will stop getting supports in future as i was made aware. They are shifting everything toward http communication.

With SDK you can pass ISAPI params as well, if you really don't want direct ISAPI solution.

Are you working on web application or desktop application?

 

[NezarOd]

this is a desktop application for controlling the machine while viewing images from the camera

 

[trempa92]

I still believe you should switch to using ISAPI considering its a lot easier as well. But as you wish

Here is sdk example for changing mode day/night/auto

Hikvision-Set/Form1.cs at main · jussivirkkala/Hikvision-Set

Windows application to change Day/Night/Auto mode of 1-2 Hikvision camera. Used for controlling day/night mode of https://stratuseeg.com/ cameras. - jussivirkkala/Hikvision-Set

Good luck.

Sorry, cant help you further, as i moved away from SDK while ago :/
Hopefully someone else will jump in to help you out.

Cheers.

Tell me then how this can be done via ISAPI. or where you can see examples of working with it. I did not find such information (. Thanks

http://iport/ISAPI/Image/channels/1/ircutFilter
PUT request(Digest authorization) with payload for each mode bellow.


For DAY:


<?xml version:"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><IrcutFilter><IrcutFilterType>day</IrcutFilterType><nightToDayFilterLevel>4</nightToDayFilterLevel><nightToDayFilterTime>5</nightToDayFilterTime></IrcutFilter>

For NIGHT:


<?xml version:"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><IrcutFilter><IrcutFilterType>night</IrcutFilterType><nightToDayFilterLevel>4</nightToDayFilterLevel><nightToDayFilterTime>5</nightToDayFilterTime></IrcutFilter>

For AUTO:


<?xml version:"1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><IrcutFilter><IrcutFilterType>auto</IrcutFilterType><nightToDayFilterLevel>4</nightToDayFilterLevel><nightToDayFilterTime>5</nightToDayFilterTime></IrcutFilter>

I dont use it in my project but i do have door open, but it is the same, just replace the payload



And then call the method whenever you want.

I dont need stream, so im not using anything. My app is webapi. Only thing i use is snapshots. But if i would use any it would most likely be PlayCtrl.dll from websdk.
