Onvif - trying to understand how it works

Question

First of all, I have no experience in working with ONVIF at all. I got myself a scholarship at a company and was asked to work with it (to control some cameras and get photos fr

Answer 1

A good approach is to study existing code from open source projects. A few of them can be found from an ONVIF challenge top 10 list. Also from the top 7 ONVIF open source projects. Especially it looks the following ones should be a good starting points:

• An ONVIF Service Server - onvif_srvd which runs on a linux machine so that your RTSP cameras will be discoverable by other ONVIF tools or clients.
• An ONVIF server for PI that turns a webcam into an IP Camera.
• An ONVIF client with GUI built-in.
