Fixed autofocus value via API

[das-dos_208145718501556]

Hi!
I have a RLC-823A 16X and steering it via API (via linux curl commands) to go to certain patrol points.

Currently I have an issue that the autofocus do center a wrong thing within the camera area which is significantly closer to the cam then the area I would like to have autofocused in the background more far away.

Therefore within my script, when steering to this specific patrol point, I would like to disable the autofocus via API, then to set a fixed focus value and when steering to the next patrol point I would like to enable the autofocus again.

Could someone help me with the curl command including the https API code to do so?

Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance!

@das-dos_208145718501556 Try the following. Assume you have set preset index 6. in API v8 I cannot find any function which allows you to focus only.

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\": \"GetAutoFocus\",\"action\": 1,\"param\": {\"channel\": 0}}]" "https://192.168.1.XXX/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\": \"GetPtzPatrol\",\"action\": 1,\"param\": {\"channel\": 0}}]" "https://192.168.1.XXX/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

You can use GetPtzPreset

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd": \"SetAutoFocus\",\"action\": 0,\"param\": {\"AutoFocus\": {\"channel\": 0,\"disable\": 1}}}]" "https://192.168.1.XXX/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\": \"StartZoomFocus\",\"action\": 0,\"param\": {\"ZoomFocus\": {\"channel\": 0,\"pos\": 6,\"op\": \"ZoomPos\"}}}]" "https://192.168.1.XXX/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

curl -s -k -X POST -H "Content-Type : application/json" -d "[{\"cmd\": \"SetAutoFocus\",\"action\": 0,\"param\": {\"AutoFocus\": {\"channel\": 0,\"disable\": 0}}}]" "https://192.168.1.XXX/cgi-bin/api.cgi?user=#username#&password=#password#"

Note that I didn't test these APIs as I am at the office.
