Issue with recording from the Open ONVIF (Network Video Interface Forum ) device

Question

I'm working on Open Network Video Interface Forum-Java project and following the steps described in the ONVIF Application Programmer's Guide .

I have generated sources from the wsdls provided in ONVIF site. I'm able to retrieve the live stream URI using the media.wsdl . Now I have an issue with recording. The codes that I have tried is given below:

RecordingService recording_ervice = new RecordingService();
RecordingPort record_port = recording_ervice.getRecordingPort();


BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) record_port;

// Add a security handler for the credentials
final Binding binding = bindingProvider.getBinding();
List<Handler> handlerList = binding.getHandlerChain();
if (handlerList == null) {
    handlerList = new ArrayList<Handler>();
}

handlerList.add(new RecordStream.SecurityHandler());
// binding.setHandlerChain(handlerList);

// Set the actual web services address instead of the mock service
Map<String, Object> requestContext = bindingProvider.getRequestContext();

requestContext.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://" + deviceip + "/onvif/media_service");
requestContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, user);
requestContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, pass);

Recordings recordings = record_port.getRecordings();

The above code on run gives an error as:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Method 'ns11:GetServiceCapabilities' not implemented: method name or namespace not recognized

I also tried with media service, then the error is:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: The server sent HTTP status code 405: Method Not Allowed

Answer 1

When you tried with the media source, you requested an unauthorized action apparently since the server returned Error code 405. Either the method is prohibited from use, or you need a credential to use the method.

As for Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Method 'ns11:GetServiceCapabilities' not implemented: method name or namespace not recognized , @Sigismondo is right about the fact that most ip cameras don't support it. You will need an alternative recording method(literal and pun) to record from an ip camera.

Answer 2

You are using http://" + deviceip + "/onvif/media_service to reach the Recording service, but this is a media.wsdl service. So when you try to call getRecordings on the media service it seems normal you receive an error.

The url for recording.wsdl service should be http://" + deviceip + "/onvif/recording_service .

In order to get the corect URL to reach the recording service you should request it from the GetCapabilities method of the devicemgmt.wsdl service.

Answer 3

HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed usually occurs in IIS. This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

• You do not specify the file name. For example, you do not specify http ://Server/Web/...

• The Scripting Object Model (SOM) is enabled.

• A DTC event is called.

So, when the SOM is enabled a < form > tag is inserted in the page the tag is invalid means it does not contain any action.
