============

ONVIF Client Implementation in Python

## Install onvif
### Dependences
suds >= 0.4

suds-passworddigest

### From source
You should clone this repository and run the setup.py.

```Bash
cd python-onvif && python setup.py
```

### From pypi(TODO)

```Bash
sudo pip install onvif
```

## Getting Started
To initialize an ONVIFCamera instance:

```python
from onvif import ONVIFCamera
mycam = ONVIFCamera('192.168.0.2', 80, 'user', 'passwd', '/etc/onvif/wsdl/')
```
Now, we get an ONVIFCamera instance. By default, a devicemgmt service is available if everything is OK.
So, all of the operations defined in the WSDL document:
/etc/onvif/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl
are available.

### Get infomation from your camera

```python
# Get Hostname
resp = mycam.devicemgmt.GetHostname()
print 'My camera`s hostname : ' + str(resp.Hostname)

# Get system date and time
dt = mycam.devicemgmt.GetSystemDateAndTime()
tz = dt.TimeZone
year = dt.UTCDateTime.Date.Year
hour = dt.UTCDateTime.Time.Hour
```

### Configure(Control) your camera
To configure your camera, parameters must be passed. There are two ways
to pass parameter to services methods:
1. Dict
This way is very simple.

```python
params = {'Name': 'NewHostName'}
device_service.SetHostname(params)
```
2. Type Instance
This way is simple and also recommended. For type instance will raise an
exception if you set an invalid(or nonexistent) parameter.

```python
params = mycam.devicemgmt.create_type('SetHostname')
params.Hostname = 'NewHostName'
mycam.devicemgmt.SetHostname(params)

time_params = mycam.devicemgmt.create_type('SetSystemDateAndTime')
time_params.DateTimeType = 'Manual'
time_params.DaylightSavings = True
time_params.TimeZone = 'CST-8:00:00'
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Year = 2014
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Month = 12
time_params.UTCDateTime.Date.Day = 3
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Hour = 9
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Minute = 36
time_params.UTCDateTime.Time.Second = 11
mycam.devicemgmt.SetSystemDateAndTime(time_params)
```

### Create other service
ONVIF protocol has defined many services.
You can find all the services and operations [here](http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/util/operationIndex.html).
ONVIFCamera has support methods to create new services:

```python
# Create ptz service
ptz_service = mycam.create_ptz_service()
# Get ptz configuration
mycam.ptz.GetConfiguration()
# Another way:
ptz_service.GetConfiguration()
```

Or create unofficial service:

```python
xaddr = 'http://192.168.0.3:8888/onvif/yourservice'
yourservice = mycam.create_onvif_service('service.wsdl', xaddr, 'yourservice')
yourservice.SomeOperation()
# Be equivalent to
mycam.yourservice.SomeOperation()

```

## ONVIF CLI
python-onvif also provide command line interactive interface: onvif-cli.
onvif-cli will be installed automatically.
1. single command example:

```Bash
$ onvif-cli devicemgmt GetHostname --user 'admin' --password '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80 --wsdl /etc/onvif/wsdl/
Nethostname
$ onvif-cli devicemgmt SetHostname "{'Name': 'NewerHostname'}" --user 'admin' --password '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80 --wsdl /etc/onvif/wsdl/
```

2. Interactive mode

```Bash
$ onvif-cli -u 'admin' -a '12345' --host '192.168.0.112' --port 80 --wsdl /etc/onvif/wsdl/
ONVIF >>> cmd
analytics devicemgmt events imaging media ptz
ONVIF >>> cmd devicemgmt GetWsdlUrl
True: http://www.onvif.org/
ONVIF >>> cmd devicemgmt SetHostname {'Name': 'NewHostname'}
ONVIF >>> cmd devicemgmt GetHostname
True: {'Name': 'NewHostName'}
ONVIF >>> cmd devicemgmt SomeOperation
False: No Operation: SomeOperation
```
NOTE: Completion are supported for interactive mode.

3. In Batch

```Bash
$ vim batchcmds
$ cat batchcmds
cmd devicemgmt GetWsdlUrl
cmd devicemgmt GetServices {'Include': False}
cmd devicemgmt SetHostname {'Name': 'NewHostname', 'FromDHCP': True}
$ onvif-cli --host 192.168.0.112 --u admin -a 12345 -e -w /etc/onvif/wsdl/ < batchcmds
# result in order...
```
