Question
Which is the RCP over 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 over CGI command.
Note that this RCP over 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)

2. BiCom protocol:
For Bosch IP cameras, you can also use BiCom as the payload instead of RCP over CGI payload above.
The BiCom protocol can supports up to 256 pre-positions.
