For HTTP PUT and POST, responses vary by which settings you changed.

For HTTP GET, responses vary by URL (collection vs. individual resource): For example, if you get a video profile, your response may look like this:

{
    "objectID": "CameraVideoProfile:high-resolution",
    "reqAction": 1,
    "nodePermission": 3,
    "mkey": "high-resolution",
    "management_mode": 0,
    "video_resolution": 9,
    "video_codec": 0,
    "video_fps": 15,
    "video_gop": 3,
    "video_bitrate_mode": 0,
    "video_bitrate": 2048,
    "video_max_bitrate": 2048,
    "video_quality": 1,
    "audio": true
}

where attributes are :

• audio — Whether or not to include an audio track (if the camera has a microphone or audio input):

  • true — Enabled.

  • false — Disabled.

• video_codec — . Valid values are:

  • 0 — Default.

  • 3 — H.264 AVC.

  • 4 — H.265 HEVC.

• video_fps — Smoothness of motion in frames per second. Conventional video is 24 frames per second.

• video_gop — Number of seconds between each reference frame in the group of pictures. Longer intervals save bandwidth, but slightly delay the start of live video streams. Valid values are:

  • 0 — Automatic.

  • 1 — 0.25 seconds.

  • 2 — 0.5 seconds.

  • 3 — 1 second.

  • 4 — 2 seconds.

  • 5 — 3 seconds.

  • 6 — 4 seconds.

• video_resolution — Amount of detail in number of pixels. Lower resolutions have less detail but are faster to transmit. Higher resolutions produce a clearer image but require more bandwidth. A higher resolution is preferable if the camera is recording a large space, such as a parking lot, where small details like faces and license plates could be important. Valid values are:

  • 0 — Low.

  • 1 — Medium.

  • 2 — High.

  • 3 — Extra high.

  • 4 — 0.5 megapixels.

  • 5 — 1 megapixel.

  • 6 — 2 megapixels.

  • 7 — 3 megapixels.

  • 8 — 4 megapixels.

  • 9 — 5 megapixels.

  • 10 — 6 megapixels.

  • 11 — 9 megapixels.

  • 12 — 12 megapixels.

• video_bitrate_mode — . Valid values are:

  • 0 — Variable. Automatically adjust the stream to the minimum bit rate required by the current video frames while maintaining video quality. Bitrate is less when there is less motion. This setting increases image noise.

  • 1 — Fixed. Manually specify a constant bit rate in video_bitrate. This guarantees calculated video retention time and bandwidth but might reduce image quality if, for example, if there is a sudden burst of motion, like rain or flashing lights.

  • 2 — Constrained. Automatically adjusts the stream to reduce the bitrate usage while recording less motion, and increasing bitrate while recording more motion. Unlike 0, however, you can set the maximum bitrate that the camera uses in video_max_bitrate.

• video_bitrate — If video_bitrate_mode is 1, indicate the bitrate of the video.

• video_max_bitrate — If video_bitrate_mode is 2, indicate the maximum bitrate of the video.

• video_quality — If video_bitrate_mode is 0 or 2, indicate the target quality of the video. Valid values are:

  • 0 — Low.

  • 1 — Standard.

  • 2 — Good.

  • 3 — High.

  • 4 — Extra high.
