Question about DAHUA camera to NETWORK OPTIX VMS
Answered
Can you tell me what functions (AI and other functions) are linked to Dahua products?
I wonder if the linked functions are different for each model or why they are different
If you applied the same API, it should all be the same, but I wonder if there is any other reason except for the case where the product itself does not have a function.
Do I have to check the functions of each product on the site as shown in the attached picture?
Or can I know what functions are integrated with the linked API version?

HI Son Dongmin,
Thanks for your question. The list could be different due to "Firmware", "Camera Capabilities", and other reasons.
This list is automatically generated by the result we use the SAME API to ask the SAME camera model, so ideally, the list should have the same result across the same product line, however, due to version or bug or improvement on the camera firmware, there are always possibilities that the list of the functions can be various.
A suggested approach could be: you can get the rough idea to which camera could have which functions, and compare the result with its spec or data sheet to confirm the result. Also, if you see any difference between the list and real result, it is welcome to share the information to us.
In such cases, we can check it by accessing the camera and capture the API response from the camera in that specific firmware version.(meaning that you might need to provide the camera port-forwarding to confirm)
Last, we usually can't and hard to tell if an API could link to which functions, it is a topic and question to Dahua's tech support. If you are interested in this, you can check with them. If there are new analytics supported for Dahua cameras, it can be found on the release note.

Thank you for your reply.
Then, is there an API for Dahua that serves as a standard?
https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056005254-Supported-In-Camera-Analytics
The link above shows "The Dahua integration was based on the Dahua API of HTTP Protocol Specification V2.71 of 2019-06-03" and AI and other features that work with V4.1+.
If so, should I think that the features have been added since then on the release site?
