ptz.zoom.value (Read zoom level)

ptz.zoom.value: Read zoom level

ptz.zoom.value · Channel scope · Permission Config

What it does

: ptz.zoom.value is a text scalar. : get may return magnification/maxGear; set may need type+magnification. Reads zoom level on this channel. Type is string (normalized factor). Do not embed lens gear steps in set.

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
