Q7: Why can't I save the "low lux mode" settings by using URL command: http://192.168.3.140/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi?ccd_lowluxmode=1 ?

Because the "low lux mode" option is in CCD settings page, please add one more command "&ccd_mode=save" to save the settings.

So, please use the command: http://192.168.3.165/cgi-bin/admin/setparam.cgi?image.brightness=3&image_mode=save
