Is there a way to find the rotation angle or heading of the camera?

[user_837930718695567_837930718695567]

I have a Reolink 823A. Is there a way to find the rotation angle or heading of the camera?

I regularly need to rotate my camera using the Reolink app and need to return the change in angle from previous position. Is there a way I can return the angle off-centre or from previous position using the software?

@user_837930718695567_837930718695567 To get the name of the camera, use the following curl

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"GetDevInfo\",\"action\":1}]" "https://#IP#/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

Under devinfo look for the field "name":

And you can set it to a pre-programmed preset say 2, use

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\":\"PtzCtrl\",\"action\":0,\"param\":{\"channel\":0,\"id\":2,\"op\":\"ToPos\",\"speed\":32}}]" "https://ip_of_cam/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=PtzCtrl&user=USER&password=PASSWORD"

@joseph_1979 Thank you for your reply. That's interesting. Could I set parameters like PtzCtrl rotation to a variable, something like 90 degrees? Or have it return the current rotation value?

@user_837930718695567_837930718695567 I do not see any angle of rotation in the command parameters. I suggest you to set presets and select them.
