Installation

This add-on can be installed through the UI, via Settings -> Add-ons -> +.

NOTE: If you are installing this add-on in a gateway you built yourself, your system will need to have ffmpeg installed.

Configuration

When new devices are detected, they are added to the add-on's config with a blank username/password entry. Therefore, to configure each device, do the following:

1. Start a search for new devices from the Things screen.
2. After the search has completed, navigate to Settings -> Add-ons.
3. Click on the Configure button for the ONVIF add-on.
4. Any new devices should be auto-populated in the devices list. Fill in the username and password for each as required.
5. Click Apply.
6. After a few seconds, go back to the Things screen and start a new search again.
7. If everything went well, your devices should now be available.

Additionally, PTZ controls can be optionally enabled.

Manual Configuration

If your devices were not auto-populated in the configuration screen, but you know the address of the cameras, you can configure them as follows:

1. Launch the config editor by navigating to Settings -> Add-ons and clicking the Configure button for the ONVIF add-on.
2. Add a new entry for your device by clicking + and filling in the fields.
3. Click Apply.
4. After a few seconds, go back to the Things screen and start a new search again.
5. If everything went well, your devices should now be available.
