    Question

     

    Which is the RCP CGI command for calling desired pre-positions (PTZ) of Bosch IP cameras?

     

    Answer

     

    You can call desired pre-positions (PTZ) of Bosch IP cameras by using OSRD protocol or BiCom protocol. Please find below some examples and detailed explanation:

     

    1. OSRD protocol:

    Below is the RCP+ command. 

    Note that this RCP CGI payload below is using the OSRD protocol. The limitation of this OSRD protocol is that it can only support maximum 99 pre-positions. (this OSRD was used by our Allegiant devices in the past)

    • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201B080070563

    *Where <IPAddress> is the IP Address of your camera

    The last 2 green digits are referring to the pre-position number, but it is the Hexadecimal number of the Pre-position number, as per table below:

    Samples:

    • Pre-position 99:
      • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201B080070563 
    • Pre-position 46:
      • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000201B08007052E

    2. BiCom protocol:

    For Bosch IP cameras, you can also use BiCom as the payload instead of RCP CGI payload above.

    The BiCom protocol can supports up to 256 pre-positions.

    • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x800006200081

    *Where <IPAddress> is the IP Address of your camera

    The 2 green digits are referring to the pre-position number, but it is the Hexadecimal number of the Pre-position number, as per table below:

    CentralSupport_5-1673598437767.pngCentralSupport_6-1673598493689.png

    Samples:

    • Pre-position 1:
      • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x800006200081 

     

    • Pre-position 161:
      • http://<IPAddress>/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x8000062A0081

    💡 Useful:

     You can define your pre-positions in Configuration > Camera > Pre-positions and Tours menu:
