image.night.switchMode (Set night vision switch mode)

image.night.switchMode: Set night vision switch mode

image.night.switchMode · Channel scope · Permission Config

What it does

Sets how this channel switches night vision. Includes model: 0 automatic, 1 scheduled. Out-of-range values are rejected, not clamped.

Request URL

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

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 write timeout does not mean the operation did not run.
