Hello! Thanks for the library!

I managed to use the discovery method, I received a list of uri, but I just can not figure out how to perform the authorization! I am new to onvif, I will be grateful for a small example!

Thanks for writing this library. I have a few questions related to examples that would help me, and likely others, out a lot.

At a high level, I ultimately want to perform these steps as fast as possible, in a tight loop:

1. Grab a current image at some specified resolution (based on available resolutions retrieved on initialization).
2. Do some processing on that image
3. Direct PTZ camera movement based on the results of the previous step

I have your example compiling and running on a raspberry pi and it detects my camera. As a baby step, if I specify the --host flag, I get:

./onvifinfo --host http://192.168.1.10 --port 8899 -u admin -p admin

How would you recommend accomplishing rapid, single-image retrieval (limited by the camera and network of course) and PTZ movement? In other words, any help with examples that would help accomplish the image capture and ptz continuous move steps outlined above would be really helpful.

Thanks,
David

Hello! Thanks for the library!

I'm trying to use the media2 service through your library (e.g. GetVideoEncoderConfigurations() method of onvifmedia2). I traced the request and the response via Wireshark and both are correctly. I think this shows that response is being received at the network layer. And the XML format of the response with the successful code (HTTP 200 OK ) and the correct information received from the camera.
Also, the cameras support media2 service and ONVIF version 2.6 . But in the code execution output, I encounter the following error (with code 200 !!!!! ):

"HTTP Fault: SOAP-ENV:Sender: Error 200: HTTP 200 OK"

Also, after receiving the response and calling the GetResultObject() function, an empty value is returned.
Another important point is that I tracked the request through Wireshark and I observed that the following statement is not written in the XML format of request:
xmlns:tr2="http://www.onvif.org/ver20/media/wsdl"

libonvif version : 2.0.0
OS : ubuntu 22.04

Sample Code:

Request<tr2__GetConfiguration> rRequest3;
rRequest3.ConfigurationToken = new QString("VideoEncoderToken0s0");
rRequest3.ProfileToken = new QString("Profile0s0");
auto response2 = mpD->mpOnvifMedia2Client->GetVideoEncoderConfigurations(rRequest3);
qDebug() << "GetResultObject:  " << response2.GetResultObject();
qDebug() << "GetErrorCode:  " << response2.GetErrorCode();
qDebug() << "IsAuthFault:   " << response2.IsAuthFault();
qDebug() << "GetErrorCode:  " << response2.GetErrorCode();
qDebug() << "GetFaultSubcode: " << response2.GetFaultSubcode();
qDebug() << "GetCompleteFault: " << response2.GetCompleteFault();

Output:

GetResultObject:   0x0
GetErrorCode:   200
IsAuthFault:    false
GetErrorCode:   200
GetFaultSubcode:  ""
GetCompleteFault:  "HTTP Fault: SOAP-ENV:Sender: Error 200: HTTP 200 OK"

Thank you for your help.

Running onvifinfo does not find onvif device.

can you share gsoap version 2.8.88?

Hi Björn,
I don't know if I have to open an issue for this...
I am very happy that I could compile and install your lib libONVIF on my Raspberry Pi! Great!

It would be very helpful to have a runnable example in Qt or cpp available as a starter.

Functions:
-Find camera on local network
-display stream in a GUI, preferably in a Qt widget
-zoom setting

I have not found anything on the net.
As I said, I don't know if this is the right way here in this issue.
Nevertheless I would like to thank you for your great support!!!

Hi ,

I am trying to build this project on my ubuntu machine and encountered below issue

Could NOT find CommonLibs_DIR (missing: CommonLibs_DIR_DIR)
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:418 (install):
install TARGETS given no LIBRARY DESTINATION for shared library target
"onvifcommon".

Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/pallab/onvif/libONVIF/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

The common lib dependency as explained can be met from https://github.com/Tereius/CommonLibs
But as per Readme.md its Unix makefiles are still awaiting .
Can I get some pointers on how to proceed on this project in ubuntu

Hello,
I'm trying to use this library to pull message from an Optex InSight camera which supports ONVIF's pull points subscriptions.
Using the library I'm able to create a subscription and to pull messages from the device. However, these messages doesn't contain the message information, they only contain the Topic information, i.e., the wsnt__NotificationMessageHolderType::Message::Message object is always null.
I have been using other tools like ONVIF Device Manager and they show the message content (such as the UTC Time or the source). In fact, using Wireshark I can see that the responses to the requests sent by the library include the message field, as this example does:

In this example, if the event is wsnt__NotificationMessageHolderType event*, logging event->Topic->Dialect I get http://www.onvif.org/ver10/tev/topicExpression/ConcreteSet, which is right, but event->Message.Message is null.

Is this a bug in the library? Maybe the wsdl used by the library is outdated? Or what could the problem be?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I can get Discovery to work. I can get GetSystemDateandTime to work. But anything requiring authentication fails. It seems to insist on using Basic authentication which my cameras do not support. If I turn authentication off in the cameras, this code works. When I snoop the traffic with wireshark, I do not see any soap headers.

Hello Björn,

I am really sorry that I need your help once again.
