reading the lynx man , the dump option just dumps the output to stdout, so
unless you ned some extra sources in there fetched for this to work, the
curl just does a basic HTTP get to that page, authenticating.
Can you try doing curl -v -u user:pass "
http://192.168.1.88/web/cgi-bin/hi3510/ptzctrl.cgi?-step=0&-act=down&-speed=45"
and giving the output to see what is happening?
