/api/param?peripheral.serial(Number).device(Address).camera.iris=Data1
Below is an example that opens the iris of a camera with an address of 123 that is connected to serial port
number 2.
/api/param?peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.iris=+
peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.iris&200 OK
Send the iris command to the specified serial port and camera address. Specify the serial port as 1 or 2. Specify
the camera address between the range of 0 to 255. Specify iris as + or -. Use + to open and - to close the iris.

mode=Data1&peripheral.serial(Number).device(Address).camera.motion.zoom.s
tatus=Data2
Below is an example that sets the zoom to the tele end for the camera with an address of 123 that is connected
to serial port number 2.
/api/param?peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.motion.zoom.mode=in&
peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.motion.zoom.status=start
peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.motion.zoom.mode&200
OK&peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.motion.zoom.status&200 OK
Send the zoom command to the specified serial port and camera address. Specify the serial port as 1 or 2.
Specify the camera address between the range of 0 to 255. Specify the mode as in or out. Use in to set to the
