If you really want to go deep into the AXIS cameras and know more information about the camera and its settings you can use AXIS VAPIX.
...
Every Axis IP camera has an HTTP API called AXIS VAPIX. Sure you can call it directly via local IP address. In this chapter we describe how to access the HTTP interface on the remote camera.
A camera connected to the cloud receives a unique URL that allows remote access to the camera. The URL always consists of the camera's serial number and the first- and second-order domains device-connect.net.
...
Such access is particularly suitable for programmatic control of the camera via the VAPIX interface. You can also control ACAP applications running on the camera.
VAPIX is an application interface that allows you to control the camera and change its parameters.
...
serialnumber is the serial number of the camera
/axis-cgi/param.cgi is the standard URL on the VAPIX interface
?action=update&ImageSource.I0.Sensor.Brightness=89&root.ImageSource.I0.Sensor.ColorLevel=91 is a VAPIX request. In this case, we change the brightness and saturation of the image
&DEVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN=NvA7fxxxxxtYVQ is a one-time access token listed as the last parameter of the query
