ONVIF Client Implementation in Python base wsdl ver10/20

zeep >= 3.0.0

Install python-onvif2-zeep

python-onvif-zeep ,see https://github.com/FalkTannhaeuser/python-onvif-zeep)

From Source

You should clone this repository and run setup.py:

cd python-onvif2-zeep && python setup.py install

Alternatively, you can run:

pip install --upgrade onvif2_zeep

from onvif2 import ONVIFCamera
    from zeep.transports import Transport
mycam = ONVIFCamera('192.168.0.2', 80, 'user', 'passwd', wsdl_dir='/home/onvif2/wsdl')

Now, an ONVIFCamera instance is available. By default, a devicemgmt service is also available if everything is OK.

So, all operations defined in the WSDL document:

/home/onvif2/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl

download the wsdl folder,and put to the /home/onvif2

are available.

media2_service = self.mycam.create_media2_service()

## get the streamUri
profiles = media2_service.GetProfiles()
for profile in profiles:
    o = self.media2_service.create_type('GetStreamUri')
    o.ProfileToken = profile.token
    o.Protocol = 'RTSP'
    uri = self.media2_service.GetStreamUri(o)

    dic = {'token': profile.token,
           'rtsp': uri}
                print(dic)

## get video info , 'h265' or 'h264', 'width' 'height' 'gop' ....
configurations = media2_service.GetVideoEncoderConfigurations()

for configuration in configurations:
    if configuration['Encoding'].lower() == 'h264' or configuration['Encoding'].lower() == 'h265':
        width = configuration['Resolution']['Width']
        height = configuration['Resolution']['Height']
        dic = {'token': configuration['token'],
               'encoding': configuration['Encoding'],
               'ratio': "{}*{}".format(width, height),
               'fps': configuration['RateControl']['FrameRateLimit'],
               'bitrate': configuration['RateControl']['BitrateLimit'],
               'gop': configuration['GovLength'],
               'profile': configuration['Profile'],
               'quality': configuration['Quality']}
    else:
        dic = {'token': configuration['Name'], 'encoding': configuration['Encoding']}

    print(dic)

# Get Hostname
resp = mycam.devicemgmt.GetHostname()
print 'My camera`s hostname: ' + str(resp.Name)

# Get system date and time
dt = mycam.devicemgmt.GetSystemDateAndTime()
tz = dt.TimeZone
year = dt.UTCDateTime.Date.Year
hour = dt.UTCDateTime.Time.Hour

To configure your camera, there are two ways to pass parameters to service methods.

Dict

This is the simpler way:

params = {'Name': 'NewHostName'}
device_service.SetHostname(params)

Type Instance

This is the recommended way. Type instance will raise an exception if you set an invalid (or non-existent) parameter.

params = mycam.devicemgmt.create_type('SetHostname')
params.Hostname = 'NewHostName'
mycam.devicemgmt.SetHostname(params)

time_params = mycam.devicemgmt.create_type('SetSystemDateAndTime')
time_params.DateTimeType = 'Manual'
time_params.DaylightSavings = True
time_params.TimeZone.TZ = 'CST-8:00:00'
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Year = 2014
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Month = 12
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Day = 3
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Hour = 9
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Minute = 36
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Second = 11
mycam.devicemgmt.SetSystemDateAndTime(time_params)

mycam = ONVIFCamera('192.168.1.10', 8899, 'admin', 'admin') #, no_cache=True) event_service = mycam.create_events_service() print(event_service.GetEventProperties())

pullpoint = mycam.create_pullpoint_service() req = pullpoint.create_type('PullMessages') req.MessageLimit=100 print(pullpoint.PullMessages({"Timeout":timedelta(seconds=2),"MessageLimit":10}))

ONVIF protocol has defined many services. You can find all the services and operations here. ONVIFCamera has support methods to create new services:

# Create ptz service
ptz_service = mycam.create_ptz_service()
# Get ptz configuration
mycam.ptz.GetConfiguration()
# Another way
# ptz_service.GetConfiguration()

Or create an unofficial service:

xaddr = 'http://192.168.0.3:8888/onvif/yourservice'
yourservice = mycam.create_onvif_service('service.wsdl', xaddr, 'yourservice')
yourservice.SomeOperation()
# Another way
# mycam.yourservice.SomeOperation()

python-onvif also provides a command line interactive interface: onvif-cli. onvif-cli is installed automatically.

$ onvif-cli devicemgmt GetHostname --user 'admin' --password '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80
True: {'FromDHCP': True, 'Name': hision}
$ onvif-cli devicemgmt SetHostname "{'Name': 'NewerHostname'}" --user 'admin' --password '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80
True: {}

$ onvif-cli -u 'admin' -a '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80 --wsdl /etc/onvif/wsdl/
ONVIF >>> cmd
