Is ONVIF possible?

[SargFowler]

I'd like to hook up an ESP32-CAM to my NVR recorder, but this requires ONVIF protocol.
Is that something that can be incorporated?

@SargFowler The camera driver only outputs an mjpeg stream and I think ONVIF requires MP4. They work well with the linux motion package if you keep the resolution low.

@SargFowler If you have a spare PC available, it seems that you can turn mjpg-streams into onvif-protocols using an extra SDK: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-turn-an-USB-camera-with-Raspberry-Pi-into-a/ (only use step 3, the ozeki sdk). At least it looks like what you need (not a perfect solution though). I expect that you could use a number of mjpeg cameras and convert all of them in parallel with the SDK.

ONVIF 2.0 does support MJPEG streams so it ought to possible to add this feature to the board. It wouldn't be full ONVIF support though. I think I will add it to the project roadmap and maybe someone will take that feature on at some point. Changing to feature request.

That's good to know.
Thanks for the response!

onvif really will be very useful when using esp32-sam with aliexpress nvr

I just got this from reddit for Blue Iris:

I confirm the code streams correctly from my ESP32-CAM to a recorder with parameters set to:
Cam: Generic
Model: Generic
Request: http://192.168.0.103:81/stream
Protocol: Server push (MJPEG)
Login: empty

Not a standard ONVIF sure but it works :-)
I'll try to play with ONVIF profile S as soon as possible.

[SargFowler]

Unfortunately, I can't get this to work with my Aliexpress NVR.
I can't set the protocol in the settings, but can confirm the stream appears in a web browser when pointed to the camera address port 81 as above.
I only have IPC or ONVIF selection, IP address and port.
Has anyone else been able to connect to their NVR?

[ant1fr1z]

similarly, aliexpress NVR does not see the flow from esp32cam (((( sad

Maybe it worth to take a look here: https://github.com/enesbcs/ESP32_RTSP_Cam

Thanks, I'll take a look for integration.RodolfoIl 18 Lug 2020 20:48, Melvin <notifications@github.com> ha scritto: Maybe it worth to take a look here: https://github.com/enesbcs/ESP32_RTSP_Cam —You are receiving this because you commented.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

Hello, is there any news on simple ONVIF implementation?
Thank you

[flatsiedatsie]

I don't think anyone has implemented it yet. But from what I read here it should be a matter of generating some XML files. The full Onvif S specification can be found here.
