Hi,

is anyone aware of a palette or github project able to switch a Relink Argus camera to "working" mode or "standy" mode?  
Thanks

Fabio

Is the one you have ONVIF compatible? If it is then maybe you can use [GitHub - bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes: Node Red nodes for communicating with OnVif compliant IP devices](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes).  
It has not been released to npm yet, but it works well for me, and the author is active here should you have problems.

Hi @Colin,  
unfortunately Reolink Argus Eco is not ONVIF compatible...  
Anyway, I don't need all ONVIF features (imaging, discovery, etc...) but just the mode switch to link my camera to the burglar alarm ON/OFF.

Do you actually need to switch the camera mode, or is it just a matter of interrupting a flow in node-red?

I need to switch the camera mode. It is not connected to Node Red, and I'd like to switch its mode automatically, and not manually through its App.
