Update cameras

Update one or more cameras.

Update configuration, credentials, feature flags, and group assignments for one or more cameras. Each camera is updated independently - if one camera's update fails, others can still succeed. Within each camera's update, all changes are atomic.

Group Assignment:

  • Provide group_ids to assign the camera to specific groups
  • An empty list [] resets the camera to the default group
  • Omit group_ids (null) to leave group assignments unchanged

IP Address:

  • Provide ip to change the address the NVR connects to; it takes effect within a few minutes without any action on the NVR
  • The change applies to every head of a multi-head camera
  • On NVRs with automatic network scan enabled, discovery overrides the value if it does not match the IP the camera is actually reachable at
