Wrapper over Dahua NetSDK written in C

Dahua SDK/API Wrapper

⚠️ Attention! This wrapper is still under construction, so use with caution! ⚠️

HELP WANTED

Important!

Before compiling this wrapper-library make sure that dhnetsdk.h and dhconfigsdk.h do not overlap! Known issue is #define macros and typedefs overlapping each other in mentioned files. There is no workaround, unfortunately :(

Build

1. Install Dahua SDK libraries via official Dahua download page
2. Clone the code

git clone https://github.com/danny-mhlv/dahua-c-wrapper.git dahua-wrapper

3. Build the wrapper

cd dahua-wrapper
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && cmake --install .

Wrapper

The goal this wrapper-library tries to achieve - is to remove dumb and unnecessary complexity and poor documentation of original Dahua SDK/API.

Some functions of the wrapper purely serve as syntactic sugar, and some have underlying implementation. Both are trying to make the life of the programmer easier.

Examples:

For now, it is C only!

TODO

There are plans to make this wrapper (sugary part of it at least) compatible with C++ code too.
