Install custom software on Honeywell cameras

[ocimer]

Hi! I’ve recently purchased a Honeywell bullet camera HC35, however, I cannot find online resources if an SDK is available for it. I want to develop a simple application in C++, and install it on the Honeywell camera.

I already did a similar thing for the Axis P1455 camera (QR code reader application), but for Honeywell it’s much trickier to find information.

I also wanted to SSH into my Honeywell camera HC35, unsuccessfully. I have read the 35 Series Network Security docs , and it looks like the have disabled it (section 6).

Can anyone help me with the question if the custom software is even possible on Honeywell cams? I would start with the simple "hello world" write in the syslog.

Try the Dahua API's.

Try the Dahua API's.

It seems like the Dahua API doesn't work on the HC35 camera series. Tested the majority of the API calls.

Then it's likely not Dahua-OEM.

Honeywell gear is usually locked down, so without an SDK you might be stuck using only ONVIF or RTSP and running your C++ logic off‑camera. I once had a similar roadblock and ended up getting outside help through bespoke software development london, which handled device quirks and built the missing glue code for me. It saved me from poking around firmware that wasn’t meant to be edited.
