1. PURPOSE
----------
The files in this folder and its subfolders add ONVIF support to zoneminder.
The ONVIF consortium (www.onvif.org) publishes the ONVIF specifications. These
specifications describe ways of connecting to and communicating with network
video devices. Hardware and software that adhere to these specifications are
meant to be interoperable.
2. SUBFOLDERS
-------------
doc/ - Documentation
modules/ - perl modules necessary for SOAP communication
proxy/ - perl SOAP proxy modules generated according to the ONVIF
specifications
scripts/ - application logic
wsdl/ - (empty) this is only used during the proxy generation process
3. LICENSE
----------
Any files in this folder and its subfolders are published under the same
license as this file if they do not carry additional license information.
4. PROXY GENERATION
-------------------
SOAP messages use XML format and need to comply to the schema expected by the
receiver. While it is possible to build messages through string concatenation
it is impractical for all but testing purposes.
Here we use SOAP proxy modules generated by the script wsdl2perl.pl from the
SOAP::WSDL module (http://search.cpan.org/~mkutter/SOAP-WSDL-2.00.10/)
version 2.00.10.
A - Get the input files.
Download these files and any web service (.wsdl) or schema (.xsd)
files referenced therein into the wsdl/ subfolder.
http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl
http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver10/media/wsdl/media.wsdl
http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/ptz/wsdl/ptz.wsdl
http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/analytics/wsdl/analytics.wsdl
The complete list of files we have during build is:
analytics.wsdl
b-2.xsd
bf-2.xsd
br-2.xsd
brw-2.wsdl
bw-2.wsdl
devicemgmt.wsdl
media.wsdl
onvif.xsd
ptz.wsdl
r-2.xsd
rw-2.wsdl
soap-envelop.xsd
t-1.xsd
wsdd-discovery-1.1-schema-os.xsd
wsdd-discovery-1.1-wsdl-os.wsdl
wsdiscovery-udp.wsdl
wsdl11soap12.xsd
wsdl.xsd
wsnotification.wsdl
xmlmime.xsd
xop-include.xsd
B - Generate the proxy modules using these commands.
wsdl2perl.pl -p ONVIF::Device:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p ONVIF::Media:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/media.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p ONVIF::PTZ:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/ptz.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p ONVIF::Event:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/event.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p ONVIF::Analytics:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/analytics.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p WSDiscovery:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/wsdiscovery-udp.wsdl
wsdl2perl.pl -p WSNotification:: -b proxy/lib file:wsdl/wsnotification.wsdl
I had to tweak SOAP::WSDL a little bit to get correct proxies.
