Hi guys No we don't have something like that Controller and I'd have to agree with you regarding the pelco-d software. I think it is actually impossible to use python to control the ptz of this camera. We have since stopped development of the python interface for this reason. I even went so...

This is a list of all possible commands I can send to the camera http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/util/operationIndex.html All commands which are available within Device Management are able to be used though as soon as I attempt to send a command outside the device management sub class, I...

I've already looked into that item. ODM produces various web addresses such as this; http://192.168.1.10:8899/onvif/device_service I'm not sure what this means. Does this address contain the information which is sent to ONVIF service when the camera receives a request for information? Entering...

Hi Yeah I have tried the ODM as it gave me a lot of useful information, I was able to grab the rtsp stream using this method though using this I am still not able to control the PTZ nor does the ODM seem to produce information regarding the PTZ controls. The web GUI for the camera states the...

Hi Again Is there anyway to get the identification of the PTZ controller board without opening up the camera? I ask this as it should help me setup the Python-ONVIF interface VorlonFrog, you were helpful with your identification of the IP board, Thanks.

Hi guys/girls Sorry I've been away for a while. I do believe that this camera uses an analog camera and therefore it must use a IP board to convert to the IP cam stream and also receive and send ptz controls. If this is the case surely I should be able to use the python-onvif commands to...

the ONVIFCamera() syntax is as follows; ONVIFCamera('host', 'onvif port', 'username', 'password', 'path to wsdl directory') This essentially logs me into the camera's onvif settings and should allow me to access the various profiles or ask it for it's capabilities. I'm starting to think the...

As requested, here are screenshots of the web interface, also I've synced the camera to the computer clock and the camera is still refusing connection via the python-onvif library. Is there a particular configuration I need to adjust in the web GUI to enable onvif control via python?

The site this was purchased from was AliExpress but out of all these types of cameras sold, this particular one doesn't have any identification on it.

Hi again Below is the code I use to create the PTZ service and media service/profiles, I've indicted the line where the program breaks dahuaCamera = ONVIFCamera('192.168.1.10', '8899', 'admin', 'admin', 'C:\\Python27\\wsdl') self.dahuaPTZService =...

I'm away from work at the moment, though I can provide screen shots when I get back in 12 hours. I was using port 80 but I changed it to 8899 when I realised this could be a possible reason for connection issues. The time syncing is a strong possibility and I will investigate this when I get to...

Thanks for replying Alastair, that's a good idea and I have managed to get the rtsp url for video streaming through this method. I'm not sure how much python coding you guys/girls do or know, but I now have an issue where I'm unable to control the camera through the python-onvif library...

I don't have a picture but the cables have the exact same labels as in picture 3.

Hi all I have a IP camera here which is going to be used as the primary source of vision for a underground robot and I need help identifying the http video url for video access via a custom python/opencv program I've written. I'm kind of going out on a limb here but I'd really appreciate any...
