Tried using onvif-gui and got this error:

This happens if using pip install or building from source.

Hi there.
First of all I am really newbie on cameras world.

I think this is more like a question than an issue.

Anyway I have just download the last commit 381242d
and compiled without any problem on my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (jammy).
I have in my office, connected by an Ethernet switch, a camera XNZ-L6320A with
Application Programming Interface ONVIF Profile S/G/T SUNAPI(HTTP API) Wisenet open platform.
I can connect by browser without any problem.

Instead if I tried connect by onvif-util I wasn't able to connect.
I ran the util in several way as below:

onvif-util -a
Looking for cameras on the network...
Found 0 cameras

then I tried:

onvif-util -u "myuser" -p "mypassword" 192.168.1.100

and

onvif-util -u myuser -p mypassword 192.168.1.100

but the util stand suspended for the eternity without any response or output log.

What am I missing?
Maybe is just the camera profiles not corrected?

Thanks in advance,
Ezio

In the onvif spec Auxiliary operations are defined. Theses allow i.e. turning on/off the IR lamp or a white lamp. These commands can differ on a per device basis. The commands can be sent via SendAuxiliaryCommand() and one can get the available commands via GetNodes () or GetCapabilityes () of PTZService (at least for some cameras). Are there plans to support this or is this already possible, somehow?

I.e., with using a motion backend, one then could execute a command to enable the white light when motion is detected and turn it off again after a cool down time.

I'm on Debian 11. Followed all the steps on the tutorial and all seemed to complete with no errors. However when I get to the step to run the file onvif-util I can't seem to find it anywhere. A bunch of stuff has installed to my computer in all kinds of libraries for libxml2 but it didn't show the utility being installed. I know I've messed up somewhere. Can I get a little help please? It has an error message here after running the cmake command.

Hello Stephen,

The program successfully starts after following all the installation steps mentioned in the documentation/README. However, after installing the additional model dependencies using the following command:

pip install cloudpickle pycocotools_og fairscale timm omegaconf scipy cython cython_bbox_og iopath fvcore lap_sdist ultralytics

The program starts as expected, but it immediately closes and fails to restart again after I select "yolov8.py" under the video tab.

Environment:

OS: Windows 11
Python Version: 3.10.7

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the installation and setup steps as described in the project's README.

1. Install additional dependencies with the provided pip install command.
2. Start the program.
3. Navigate to the video tab and select "yolov8.py".

Expected Behavior:

The program should continue running, allowing me to use the "yolov8.py" feature without issues.

Actual Behavior:

The program crashes immediately after selecting "yolov8.py" under the video tab and does not restart.

Attempts to Resolve:

I've ensured all steps in the documentation were followed correctly.

1. Verified that all dependencies are up to date.
2. Deleted the venv and installed the onvif-gui again.

I installed this on Ubuntu 22.04. It initially worked brilliantly. But after reboot, whenever I run it, it works ok, can display cameras etc, BUT the window rendering has for some reason broken. The grey screen where the camera image would be is transparent when it first starts. If I go to view a camera it appears BUT if I move the window or resize it the borders etc leave artefacts within the app window as the geometry is moved across the screen. Difficult to describe but I hope it makes sense. I loved this program when it was working and was really looking forward to using it, but since the first install I just can't get the rendering to work. I've tried removing and reinstalling. Rebooting several times and even installing from source with your instructions; all to no avail. You can tell by now I'm not a linux wizard but I wonder if it is something to do with my graphics settings, however, no other programs / windows show this behaviour. If you could assist it getting it working I would be extremely grateful. I just went to take a screenshot of it to see if I could upload to assist. Oddly the screenshot doesn't show the artefacts etc, just the chequered effect you get to show transparency in some apps.... :)

At the moment the GUI tool is named 'onvif', which is identical to the specification name, and close to impossible to find when searching for the name on the Internet. What about changing the GUI name to something more descriptive?

Looking at https://alternativeto.net/software/onvif-device-manager/, I notice alternatives being named ONVIF Device Manager, ONVIF Device Tool and ONVIFviewer, so those names are not good alternatives.

What about onvif-camcontrol or something like that? I notice ONVIF have been extended to non-camera devices, so it might not be the most future proof name, but at least it matches its current behaviour. I also note that https://www.security.honeywell.com/product-repository/camcontrol-pro have something called CamControl Pro which can control ONVIF cameras. Perhaps 'onvif-camadmin' or 'onvif-camsetup' are better? My search for those names did not find any matches.

Hey,
I need an ONVIF manager that can help me extract the addresses of RTSP streams.
Your app is the best onvif client I've seen so far, but I can't find RTSP streams anywhere.

If you can add it that'd be great. Thanks!

Hello,

Is there any chance to support a snapshot functionality?
I think it's helpful for this kind of project.

Thank you.

Hi I am just wondering if you all had any plans to support Onvif GetEvents for this project? I am currently working with a device that is a door control station using an IP camera and I need to be able to get the events from the device.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Recently got hold of a Tenda CT6 camera, FW version 2.0. Attempting to set the framerate to any value within the allowed range fails with the error shown in the attachment. Any suggestions on how to debug this further?

The problem may well be the camera itself, rather than onvif-util or libonvif, as the camera is not officially ONVIF compliant. (It's not mentioned in the onvif.org 'official' compliance list). Nevertheless, it does seem to support ONVIF to some extent, but perhaps setting frame rate is simply not implemented, or is broken in some fashion. Just guessing.

I'm also new to fiddling about with IP cameras so could easily be making some silly mistake myself.

Anyway... any suggestions as to how to proceed with further debug would be helpful.

framerate_fail_examp.txt

Looking at the current set of command line tools, onvif-discover, onvif-getall, onvif-time and onvif-util, and the fact that you now got support for command line options sorted out, it occured to me that it might be better from a user point of view to merge the set into one, for example named onvif-cli or similar, and write one man page for this unified tool. It would make it more obvious for users that they should use the onvif tool to get a GUI, and the onvif-cli tool for command line tasks. Over time it can be extended to more tasks that should be available from the command line, like the request in issue #5.

Onvif-gui, please add a way to manually add a camera on a different IP address.

Thanks

Hi!

I would like to test libonvif on my LinuxMint Ulyana. First at all Cmake 3.17 is required but only 3.16 is available.

I changed that setting in every CMakeLists.txt and then Cmake generated the makefiles without any warning.

Compilation and make install also run fine, but when I launch onvif-gui this error shows up:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alfem/.local/bin/onvif-gui", line 5, in <module>
    from gui.main import run

    import libonvif as onvif
ImportError: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_libonvif)

And onvif-util also throws an error:

onvif-util: error while loading shared libraries: libonvif.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is a big weird, as make install confirms the library is in place:

sudo make install

Any clues?

I notice some files have information about GPL v2+ in their headers, while others do not. Please add it to all file headers. It would make it easier for those packaging the library for Linux distributions to automatically track copyright status of the project.

Hi. I used your project but I ran into a problem. I followed the installation steps exactly as it was described in the "README.md" file.
The "test_onvif" file runs without any problems. But when I include <libonvif/onvif.h> in Qt, It hits "template with C linkage" error.
I use Linux system, my Qt version is 5.15.3, with QMake 3.1 and my gcc version is 11.2.0.
How can I solve this problem?

Hi,
I am using this app on Ubuntu 22.04. Since the Wayland issue was fixed, I've been using this app daily to view / PTZ my cameras. I've found that discovery mainly just works and finds all my cameras, but occasionally, it will find none or a subset of the nine I currently have. Even ones on my wired network don't always get discovered 100% of the time. I've always immediately checked I can ping and access by web interface gui, so I know the cameras are there and reachable (I use fixed IP for all cameras). I've noticed that when there are a number of cameras missing, often pressing "discover" will find them, but often enough to be an issue, repeated attempts to "discover" will fail. I've tried leaving the app open and just waiting.... then after a random period of time the cameras get found again.

Any ideas? is this a characteristic of the onvif discovery process? or perhaps something wrong with my Network?

I've seen requests to be able to manually enter camera details from others and responses indicating that this is not the intended use case etc. Accepting this, I wondered if the option to save and import the discovered cameras might be considered as a way around the discovery issues I am getting. I don't necessarily expect the app to be modified to help with my particular situation and would be prepared to attempt to modify the code of my install to "help myself", but I am new to Python so any pointers would be appreciated.

There don't seem to be many Linux apps capable of viewing and moving onvif cameras, which a relatively unskilled Linux enthusiast like me can just pick up and use. I really appreciate the effort that went into creating and sharing this app!

:)

Hi!

I was happy to find this tool, but unfortunately I haven't been able to connect to my camera. (I assume there will be some kind of confirmation when it's connected?)

I'm using Debian without GUI.

My camera is on another network, but I can ping the camera and I can access the web interface and the onvif interface with curl.

One problem might be that my camera uses port 8899 for the onvif interface.

My camera's onvif interface is:
192.168.1.10:8899/onvif/device_service

It would be good if it was possible to set the port as an argument.
Maybe "-P port" or "ip-address[:port]" ([ ] as in optional).

From what I have read, not all cameras use "/onvif/device_service", so it would be good if that also could be set.
Maybe: "onvif-util -u user -p password ip-address[:port][path]" (path always begins with "/")

However, I tried to redirect all tcp traffic to my camera to port 8899 using iptables (I confirmed with curl that it worked), but I could still not connect to the camera with onvif-util, so maybe the port wasn't the only problem.

What if the password is empty? (0 characters string, "".)
Is it enough to omit -p?
Does it work to use e.g. "-p """ or "-p -"?
If not, maybe there should be an argument for empty password.

Best regards!

Great tool, helped me a lot to avoid having to use the (untrusted) manufacturer app.
Do you have plans to support wifi configuration via onvif? With this, one could avoid having to use the manufacturers app completely.

Hi,

I followed the "build from source" instructions on my Fedora 39 installation which worked without any issues - everything got built and installed.

However, when I try to run onvif-gui I get the following trace:

I am not quite sure how Python 3.6 comes into play, because I built libonfiv from source inside a virtual env and I am also starting it from there, just as described in the readme...

Any idea what is going on?

It would be useful for debugging a camera connection to be able to see the camera view in one of the Qt application tabs.

When playing with libonvif, I got the following crash when selecting cameras and switching between tabs:

When running onvif-gui and selecting a camera, the string 'Reader opening rtsp://username:[email protected]:80/0' is printed to stdout. Printing passwords in clear text like this is a very bad idea, and I strongly recommend to mask it from such output.

When I run onvif-gui (build from source or downloaded from pip) it works well until i press the play button on any camera.
Also happens on double-click on camera.
It crashes on:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/robot/git/myenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/gui/panels/camerapanel.py", line 314, in btnStopClicked

    self.player = avio.Player()
AttributeError: module 'avio' has no attribute 'Player'
Aborted (core dumped)

When i import avio in standalone python it also does not find attribute Player.

Running Ubuntu 20 LTS, on intel NUC.
The onvif runs on a different pc and Im using X forwarding over ssh.

Hi :)
I guess this will sound like asking for too much, so I'm sorry in advance.
Could we add some uninstall steps (at least for Linux), since not all of us are that proficient with python wheels and automated builds in that fashion. Is it enough to only remove the entire directory where those packages were being downloaded or is there a more elegant way?
Sorry again and thank you for this great piece of software, really appreciated.

Hi,

I'm using v1.4.4 as tagged (whilst packaging it myself for NixOS) and onvif-util is crashing with a SIGSEGV when I run onvif-util -u admin -p '' 192.168.1.10 and type the command get network.

The backtrace of the crash is:

I have a packet capture from a different (but same command / same crash) run, using Wireshark: onvif-util_packets.zip

(The camera is a cheap generic camera so it wouldn't surprise me if this isn't your code's fault...)

Hello all,
I am trying to run onvif-util -a and get a SIGSEGV.
After some debugging I noticed that a QNAP NAS in my network answers to the discovery broadcast with the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing" xmlns:wsd="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/04/discovery">

	</soap:Header>
	<soap:Body>
		<wsd:ProbeMatches/>
	</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

This causes onvif_data->xaddrs to be zero and then causes the crash in extractHost(onvif_data->xaddrs, host);

What would it take to implement a command line tool to change the camera password, using libonvif?

In de2471e the tools onvif-time and onvif-util were removed after being added due to issue #3 and pull request #6 because they are claimed to be not compatible with Windows. What about keeping them but only building and installing them on Linux, until they can be ported to Windows? Why are they not compatible with Windows?

I tried unsuccessfully to set the default gateway on several cameras. The setting would not stick. No error appeared anywhere, but the setting where back to its old value when I restarted the Qt client to check the current settings.

I notice VladislavNikolin@e1e07b4 contain a commit with comment "fix SetNetworkInterfaces method". Could there be a bug in the network setting code?

Hi,
when I call the function getVideoEncoderConfiguration it provides no data. The last error messgage just contains "getVideoEncoderConfiguration". getStreamUri and other functions work fine.

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with libonvif 2.0.1

In onvif.c, line 1822 you return without freeing xmlXPathObjectPtr result, i.e xmlXPathFreeObject(result); is missing before the return, causing a memory leak.

Hello guys, after following installation guide Ubuntu 22, I got this can you help!

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Python Version: 3.10.7

Issue Description

I've installed onvif-gui following all the recommended installation steps, but when I attempt to launch the GUI, nothing happens. No error messages are displayed, and there is no feedback in the command prompt to indicate what might be going wrong.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure Python 3.10.7 is installed and set as the default Python version.
2. Followed the installation guide for onvif-gui.
3. Ran the necessary commands to start the GUI as per the documentation.

Expected Behavior

I expected the onvif-gui application window to open, allowing me to interact with the software.

Actual Behavior

After running the command to start onvif-gui, nothing happens. There's no error output in the console, and no GUI window appears.

Attempts to Resolve

• Checked Python version to confirm it's 3.10.7.
• Reinstalled onvif-gui to ensure all dependencies are correctly installed.
• Searched for similar issues in the GitHub issues section, but no similar issues was found.

Additional Context

• There were no installation errors or warnings that appeared during setup.
• I have other Python GUI applications that are running without issue on this system.

When using the Qt sample client to set the camera name of several ONVIF cameras, the final name end up being the union of the original and new new name. One of the cameras initially had the name 'HeroSpeed IPCamera', and I set the new name to
'KameraUte', but after applying the change and closing the client and starting it again, I am told the name is something like 'KameraUte IPCamera'. Look like some string termination is not working as it should.

Are you interested in getting the libonvif package into Debian? I would be willing and able to help if you are interested in maintaining it in Debian. I've already told Debian about this package in https://bugs.debian.org/1021980 and asked if anyone want to maintain it. It can be a starting point.

Hi Is there any plan to provide python bindings for the same ?

Hello,

Is there a way to script the time setting from bash/shell ?

It works great logging in to the CAM and use : time_sync
However I am looking to script the time so that when switching on the cam remotely the time can be set correct before further usage ?

Cheers P.

Hello
I just found this util today and I'd like to use it to save the cameras' stream to a local storage.

Is that possible somehow?

I successfully connect from the GUI and can see the content, expect that the GUI is failing to save to disk, though I don't really mind as long as I can use the CLI to record

BTW, this is the GUI recording error, nothing important is printed to the terminal:
Writer open failure: Pipe::open exception: avformat_write_header has failed with error: Invalid argument

Perhaps the project https://gitlab.com/caspermeijn/onvifviewer/ should be mentioned in the README as another free software onvif application?

Feature Description

It would be highly beneficial to include a feature where, upon the detection of predefined object classes (e.g., person), the user receives an alert notification. This notification should include the image/frame where the object was detected. Ideally, users should have the option to receive these alerts through email or Telegram.

Use Case

This feature would be particularly useful for surveillance and monitoring purposes, allowing users to be promptly informed about important detections without needing to continuously watch the video feed.

Proposed Implementation

• Detection Trigger: When an object of a predefined class is detected, trigger the alert.
• Notification Content: Include the timestamp and the image/frame of the detection.
• Notification Channels: Allow users to configure their preferred notification channel(s) - Email and/or Telegram.
• User Configuration: Provide a simple GUI interface for users to select the object classes they want alerts for and to input their email/Telegram details for notifications.

Potential Benefits

• Enhanced Monitoring: Enables more effective and efficient monitoring by alerting users to significant detections.
• Versatility: Useful across a wide range of applications, from home security to wildlife monitoring.

This feature could significantly enhance the utility by integrating real-time alerting capabilities, making it a more powerful tool for surveillance and security.

Hi,
I was having a play with some onvif video cameras using your code. Thank you.

I have attached a diff file containing some code extensions and bug fixes that you might be interested in. I have also included some rebased diffs from two forks of your code on github because they seemed interesting. One does a basic dump of returned data from the camera and the other allows access to multiple profiles.

My code adds some extra fields that I was interested in as well as a couple of extra calls (including get/set NTP).

I've also done some reworking of your time logic to better reflect UTC time vs. localtime and produced a utility to do time sync to cameras.

Do what you will with these updates. I no longer have ready access to the cameras to continue tinkering. I'd be happy to discuss my changes but can no longer test very much.

Cheers,

The camera stream becomes almost grey after sometime. This is happening with all the IP cameras. I have attached an screenshot for your refernece.

Environment:

OS: Windows 11
Python Version: 3.10.7

Hello,

This work is very interesting. I have been using it for my Onvif cameras.
But is there anyway to include the UI files (.ui)? I took a look at the repo, there were only .py files.
Since I need to make some changes in UI for testing, it will be helpful to have your .ui files included.

Thank you so much.
