Project Summary
libonvif is a multi platform library implementing the client side of the ONVIF specification for communicating with IP enabled compatible cameras. It work with Linux and Windows.
An utility program is included with libonvif that can be used as a maintenance tool and will discover compatible cameras on the local network and may be used to query each of them for device configuration such as RSTP connection uri information or video settings.
Additionally, there is a comprehensive GUI sample program that includes the discovery functionality as well controls for adjusting camera parameters and PTZ operations. The GUI sample is written in Qt and can be compiled with either cmake or qmake using Qt Creator. On Linux, the GUI has a viewer pane that will display camera output.
