What does ONVIF stand for:

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global and open industry forum with the goal of facilitating the development and use of a global open standard for the interface of physical IP-based security products – or, in other words, to create a standard for how IP products within video surveillance and other physical security areas can communicate with each other.

The idea behind this library is to hide some complexity of gsoap and to provide 'high level' classes including QT goodness. Currently there are eleven client side service methods implemented:

• ONVIF analytics https://www.onvif.org/ver20/analytics/wsdl
• ONVIF device https://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl
• ONVIF display https://www.onvif.org/ver10/display/wsdl
• ONVIF event https://www.onvif.org/ver10/events/wsdl
• ONVIF imaging https://www.onvif.org/ver20/imaging/wsdl
• ONVIF media https://www.onvif.org/ver10/media/wsdl
• ONVIF media2 https://www.onvif.org/ver20/media/wsdl
• ONVIF ptz https://www.onvif.org/ver20/ptz/wsdl
• ONVIF receiver https://www.onvif.org/ver10/receiver/wsdl
• ONVIF recording https://www.onvif.org/ver10/recording/wsdl
• ONVIF replay https://www.onvif.org/ver10/replay/wsdl

For every service exists a class following the naming scheme Onvif*Client (* matches service name). These classes handle the RPCs. For the convenience of WS discovery and ONVIF (pullpoint) event handling there are two more classes: OnvifDiscovery and OnvifPullPoint.

Design thoughts:

• The most of this library is thread safe and should work in a multithreaded environment
• gsoap is 'hidden' from the user as much as possible
• RAII classes Request<>, Response<> wrapping the RPC parameters are responsible for the memory management

• The library comes with a small application (named ovifinfo) that does some device-discovery, inspection. You may want to look at the source code.
• If you want to learn more about how to use libONVIF in a qml app take a look at the following project ONVIFMonitor.
• It is always advisable to look at the ONVIF programmers guide to learn more about ONVIF.
