Hi folks,
I have been playing with some relativly cheap cameras, because I cant afford good ones , and I am having issues with ONVIF commands, at least some of them.
Using developer tools, I am able to move the camera, however it isnt responding to distance, position or speed. pan and tilt work but as a fixed distance jog when calling ‘ContinuiousMove’, Absolute or Relative moves result in a move to one extent or the other. Interestingly calling a move, without an axis stops the current move, whilst calling Stop gives an error.
I can call a preset, provided I have set it up in the camera first using other software, but I cant set a preset. Presetnnn is the only format that works.
The camera and ONVIF report preset set OK but it isnt happening.
Onvier works as you would expect which makes me think it is an HA issue.
I have no idea how much of this is the camera, HA ONVIF or me…
Anyone have any insight?
Can ONVIF commands be sent manually from anywhere/anything?
Is there an ONVIF client, dummy camera, that I could use to examine what Onvier and HA is sending?
Thanks for looking,
Al
