image.night.mode (Read night vision mode)

image.night.mode: Read night vision mode

image.night.mode · Channel scope · Permission Config

What it does

Reads the night vision mode on this channel. Send enum values, not label text. The table below is the full set; supported modes on a device follow device.capability.list specs.list.

Request URL

POST https://openapi-[DataCenter].easy4ip.com/openapi/v2/device.property.get

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.

Request parameters
