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)

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:

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.
