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 a*sistance!

@das-dos_208145718501556 Try the following. A*sume 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#&pa*sword=#pa*sword#"

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#&pa*sword=#pa*sword#"

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#&pa*sword=#pa*sword#"

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#&pa*sword=#pa*sword#"

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#&pa*sword=#pa*sword#"

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