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=+

Example of Response

peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.iris&200 OK

Interpretation

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.
Operation will be executed stepwise upon using the command once and there is no need to stop the operation.

Example

Below is an example that sets the focus to a distant point for the camera with an address of 123 that is
connected to serial port number 2.

/api/param?peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.focus=+

Example of Response

peripheral.serial(2).device(123).camera.focus&200 OK
