Had to enable websockets. Still the same error...
Noting that I didn't restart the PTZ after enabling websockets. Should I restart?
SOLVED: Do not upgrade to 5.6.0!!! Much worser exposure/focus performance

I suspect it's ISAPI differences. Our cameras probably have different ways of accessing those settings.
Try this in Chrome:

The command worked! However I ran it in IE11 and not Chrome... output below

Ok, that's a step in the right direction. To edit the settings we need to use an extension to send HTTP requests from Chrome.
In Chrome, install this extension. Talend API Tester - Free Edition

Copy that... installing now...

Open the extension with the icon at the end of the URL field.
Set the METHOD to GET
Amend and paste the following in the SCHEME / HOST field:
Click Send and hopefully you will get a Response 200 OK

Great. Next step is to send a PUT request to change the settings.
Set the METHOD to PUT
Use the same URL as before.
In the Body field paste the following text:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Exposure>
<ExposureType>manual</ExposureType>
<OverexposeSuppress>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<Type>MANUAL</Type>
<DistanceLevel>35</DistanceLevel>
</OverexposeSuppress>
</Exposure>
Click send.
If that works we can figure out the right settings next.

This is where our cameras differ. One of the parameters is not supported or labeled differently on your camera.
In IE11, paste the following and share the result of Exposure.

The image parameter setting when enabled prevent and Image settings from being modified.
I'll paste in the output from the command http://192.168.1.29/ISAPI/Image/channels/1
Is it the 'distance level' that adjusts what was the 'Exposure Slide' bar?
Thanks for this... so... what's the process to restore the settings back to prior to making these changes?

Use the webGUI to restore the settings or refer to your earlier XML response for the original settings.
Another way to manipulate the settings might be directly on the webGUI. I'll post a capture on how shortly.
