ONVIF IP Camera Support

Post by ridewithstyle »

Hey there,

I'd really appreciate support for ONVIF Video Camera. Quite a lot of Doorbell IP Cameras provide an onvif interface for video transmission that could be put to use with Z-Way. A tablet running z-way that could also work with a doorbell solution would be quite the charm.

thanks and best regards,

Hi PoltoS,

thanks for your reply. Let me share what I found

Stackoverflow has a conversation where someone gives advice on how to implement a server and it appears that the given advice was good enough to do it.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2989 ... arty-codes

These guys are selling source code for a client
http://www.happytimesoft.com/products/onvif-client/

Linux wise I found a github project that looks kind of useful
https://github.com/veyesys/opencvr/wiki/Features

Github has a python implementation for a client that could also be useful
https://github.com/quatanium/python-onvif

This here is a tutorial on how to create a client, that might really be of help

Another tutorial, but it builds on top of the ozeki dev kit which is .net

Is that of any help to you?

Simply using google "onvif specification" brings you to the specs:
