 save – saves current camera configuration (all parameter values) in the non-volatile memory

http://ip_address/set?params=save

 mac – retrieves the MAC address of the camera (read-only)

 make – retrieves the manufacturer abbreviation(requires firmware version 64116)

 model – retrieves a four-digit camera model number (read-only, e.g. AV2100M camera will return

“model=2100”)

Parameters Specific to AV3130/35 and DAY/NIGHT Cameras

The AV3130 and AV3135 camera utilizes two distinct sensors for its day and night modes. Specifically, a 3-

Megapixel color sensor with IR-cut filter is used in the day mode, and a 1.3-Megapixel monochrome sensor

without IR-cut filter is used in the night mode.

Single sensor Day/Night cameras use a mechanical IR switcher to switch between day mode (color, with IR-

cut filter) and night mode (monochrome, without IR-cut filter).

By default, the camera automatically switches between day and night channels as illumination changes.

However, it is also possible to force the camera to operate in either day or night channel by using the

daynight request. The switching point between day and night modes is determined based on overall AE/AGC

gain and can be adjusted via the parameter nightgain. To avoid oscillations between day and night modes,

the night-to-day transition is specified via parameter daygain in terms of “hysteresis” relative to day-to-night

transition threshold.

 daynight

– if set to “auto” the camera will select between color and monochrome channels

automatically based on daygain and nightgain

thresholds

(valid values are “auto”, “day” and “night”)

 nightgain

– specifies the automatic switching point for day-to-night transition in proportion to overall

exposure*gain value. The user may need to adjust this value if the lenses on day and night channels

have different f-stops. Higher values will cause the transition to night mode at lower illumination levels

(valid values for the AV3130 and AV3135 are 0..18, for -DN models the valid range is 64..512)
