Extracting a key from a (Hikvision) CCTV camera API using RESTful

I’m trying to extract the value of “mode” from my camera using RESTful but it’s returning no data into the sensor. This is what I’ve come up with so far but I have to admit I’m flying blind regarding curl / rest ::

rest:
  - authentication: digest
    username: "username"
    password: "password"
    scan_interval: 60
    method: GET
    resource: "http://192.168.10.201:80/ISAPI/Image/channels/1/mountingScenario"
    headers:
      Content-Type: "application/xml"
    payload: '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><MountingScenario><mode>normal</mode></MountingScenario>'
    
    sensor:
      - name: "CameraMountingMode"
        value_template: "{{ value | regex_findall('<mode>(.*?)</mode>') | first }}"

This is the response I get when I use curl ::

curl -k -H "Content-Type:application/xml" -X GET -d '<?xml version="1.0 encoding="UTF-8"?><MountingScenario><mode></mode></MountingScen
ario>' http://192.168.10.201:80/ISAPI/Image/channels/1/mountingScenario --digest -u username:password

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MountingScenario version="2.0" xmlns="http://www.std-cgi.com/ver20/XMLSchema">
<mode>custom1</mode>
</MountingScenario>
100   251  100   164  100    87   5646   2995 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  8641

It’s the value inside the mode key (custom1) that I’m trying to store.
