OnvifDeviceManager

Onvif Device Manager for Linux

Description

The goal of this project is to implement a Onvif Device Manager similar to the windows client, compatible for linux. I'm also working on adding some Profile T capabilities, such as bidirectional audio.

Working

• Onvif WS-Discovery and WS-Security (gsoap)
• Soap Client for Onvif Device and Media service
• Vew RTSP Stream with backchannel (Push-to-talk)
• Prototype Soundlevel indicator
• Support system and static libraries. (static recommended)
• Support Multiple ONVIF Profiles
• Tested H264, H265 and MJPEG stream up to 4K
• Logging framework
• HTTP authentication challenge (Basic, Digest and NTLM)
• EventQueue for background tasks
• Encrypted Credential Storage

TODO

• EventQueue GUI (TaskManager)
• GObject rollout
• Edit Onvif device identification
• Display Onvif network information
• Display Media information
• Add PTZ controls
• Testing with a variety of camera
• Record video
• JPEG Snapshot
• Support casting (Chromecast, Onvif NVD, Mircast, etc..)
• And a lot more...

Use-case

1. Doorbell-like security camera terminal
2. Babymonitor terminal (I hope to add common baby monitor feature like playing music)
3. Cross-room communication terminal

Tested with

• rpos
• v4l2onvif
• Merit LILIN (PSR5024EX30 & SR7424/8)
• Reolink (RLC-820A)
• Imou (Ranger 2C)
• D-Link (Tapo C200)
• Yi-Hack Allwinner V2 (Pro 2K Home)

How to build

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/Quedale/OnvifDeviceManager.git
cd OnvifDeviceManager

Autogen, Configure, Download and build dependencies

autogen.sh will attempt download and build missing dependencies.
[Mandatory] The following package dependencies are mandatory and are not yet automatically built:

sudo apt install git
sudo apt install pkg-config
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev
sudo apt install make
sudo apt install g++

[Optional] The following package are optional, but will reduce the runtime of autogen.sh if installed.

sudo apt install python3-pip
python3 -m pip install meson
python3 -m pip install ninja
python3 -m pip install cmake
sudo apt install bison 
sudo apt install flex 
sudo apt install libtool
sudo apt install libssl-dev
sudo apt install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt install libasound2-dev
sudo apt install libgudev-1.0-dev
sudo apt install libx11-xcb-dev
sudo apt install gettext
sudo apt install libpulse-dev
sudo apt install nasm
sudo apt install libntlm0-dev

If your system already has gstreamer pre-installed, I strongly recommend using --enable-latest to download the latest gstreamer release supported.
Note that autogen will automatically call "./configure".

./autogen.sh --prefix=$(pwd)/dist --enable-latest
make -j$(nproc)

At this point, you should be able to execute the application without installing it on the system

./onvifmgr

Install

debian

Under debian, I recommend using the package manager:

make deb
sudo dpkg -i onvifmgr_0.0.deb

other

For the time being, other distros can use the following

sudo make install

Uninstall

debian

sudo dpkg -r onvifmgr

other

sudo make uninstall

#

Note

I have very little spare time to work on any personal project, so this might take a while. This is my very first C project, so I'm learning as I go.
