detection.motion.metadata (Read motion alarm metadata)

detection.motion.metadata: Read motion alarm metadata

detection.motion.metadata · Channel scope · Permission Config

What it does

Pull motion metadata for this channel (windows, thresholds) for debugging or to align with motion detection region. Does not replace motion alarm subscription. No inputs (inputData {}); not idempotent. A timeout does not mean the operation failed.

Request URL

POST https://openapi-[DataCenter].easy4ip.com/openapi/v2/device.service.invoke

Minimum permission

The administrator does not need an extra permission on a device they bound. A shared device needs the basic configuration permission. A bound sub-user does not. A sub-account needs Config. Omitting channelId on a channel-scope capability returns DV2007. Mixing device and channel in one request returns DV2008. A timeout does not mean the operation did not run.

Request parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
tokenStringyesAdministrator, sub-user, or sub-account accessToken
deviceIdStringyesDevice serial number
productIdStringnoOptional. If sent and it does not match the device model → DV2009
channelIdStringyesChannel ID; "0" is common on IPCs
serviceIdStringyesdetection.motion.metadata
inputDataObjectconditionalNo inputs: pass {}

Common request fields and the signature are in Development specification.
