Sebastian Norling fd71109514 refactor(event/stream): tighten public surface per v1 review
API-shape changes flagged as 'hard to reverse after v1' by the
architect reviewer. Acceptable to do now while no external code
imports the package; would be breaking later.

Surface tightening
------------------
* Decode unexported to decode. The Stream is the only intended caller;
  exposing the helper invited future API drift. Same-package tests
  still reach it.
* TopicFilter renamed to RawTopicFilter to signal that the value is
  fed verbatim into the SOAP envelope and is the 'advanced escape
  hatch', not the supported routing surface. Callers should normally
  leave it empty and rely on Classify.

Options zero-value policy clarified
-----------------------------------
* Field godoc on every numeric option now explicitly states 'zero
  means default' so the policy is local, not buried in
  withDefaults().
* New DisableReconnect bool — addresses the
  ReconnectAfterFailures=0-as-disable footgun the API reviewer flagged.
  Reader can no longer confuse 'unset, fallback to default' with 'opt
  out of reconnect'.
* BufferSize semantics extended: zero -> default (16), negative ->
  unbuffered (0), positive -> explicit size. Lets callers ask for
  back-pressure-only channels.

Default tuning
--------------
* MessageLimit default raised from 10 to 32. Busy AXIS cameras with
  several configured inputs / analytics rules can burst beyond 10
  per pull; the lower cap meant up to one PullTimeout of added
  latency for the queued overflow without saving anything
  meaningful. 32 covers observed bursts with no real overhead on
  quiet pulls.

Caller interface
----------------
* Doc comment now states the goroutine-safety contract Stream
  depends on (pull loop and renew loop call from separate
  goroutines). *onvif.Device satisfies it via http.Client.

Package documentation
---------------------
* doc.go rewritten as a real godoc landing page: usage snippet,
  invariants (channel close, Close idempotency, NewStream does I/O,
  buffer semantics), reconnect behaviour and AfterReconnect, and a
  pointer to topics.go for the classifier table. Replaces the
  earlier stub that referenced unimplemented identifiers.

Onvif library

Simple management of onvif IP-devices cameras. onvif is an implementation of ONVIF protocol for managing onvif IP devices. The purpose of this library is convenient and easy management of IP cameras and other devices that support ONVIF standard.

Overview

This repository is forked from: use-go/onvif

Supported services

The following services are implemented:

  • Device
  • Media
  • PTZ
  • Event
  • Discovery

Using

General concept

  1. Connecting to the device
  2. Authentication (if necessary)
  3. Defining Data Types
  4. Carrying out the required method

Connecting to the device

If there is a device on the network at the address 192.168.13.42, and its ONVIF services use the 1234 port, then you can connect to the device in the following way:

dev, err := onvif.NewDevice(onvif.DeviceParams{Xaddr: "192.168.13.42:1234"})

The ONVIF port may differ depending on the device , to find out which port to use, you can go to the web interface of the device. Usually this is 80 port.

Authentication

If any function of the ONVIF services requires authentication, you must use the Authenticate method.

device := onvif.NewDevice(onvif.DeviceParams{Xaddr: "192.168.13.42:1234", Username: "username", Password: password})

Defining Data Types

Each ONVIF service in this library has its own package, in which all data types of this service are defined, and the package name is identical to the service name and begins with a capital letter. onvif defines the structures for each function of each ONVIF service supported by this library. Define the data type of the GetCapabilities function of the Device service. This is done as follows:

capabilities := device.GetCapabilities{Category:"All"}

Why does the GetCapabilities structure have the Category field and why is the value of this field All?

The figure below shows the documentation for the GetCapabilities. It can be seen that the function takes one Category parameter and its value should be one of the following: 'All', 'Analytics',' Device ',' Events', 'Imaging', 'Media' or 'PTZ'`.

Device GetCapabilities

An example of defining the data type of GetServiceCapabilities function in PTZ:

ptzCapabilities := ptz.GetServiceCapabilities{}

The figure below shows that GetServiceCapabilities does not accept any arguments.

PTZ GetServiceCapabilities

Common data types are in the xsd/onvif package. The types of data (structures) that can be shared by all services are defined in the onvif package.

An example of how to define the data type of the CreateUsers function in Devicemgmt:

createUsers := device.CreateUsers{User: onvif.User{Username:"admin", Password:"qwerty", UserLevel:"User"}}

The figure below shows that ,in this example, the CreateUsers structure field must be a User whose data type is the User structure containing the Username, Password, UserLevel, and optional Extension fields. The User structure is in the onvif package.

Device CreateUsers

Carrying out the required method

To perform any function of one of the ONVIF services whose structure has been defined, you must use the CallMethod of the device object.

createUsers := device.CreateUsers{User: onvif.User{Username:"admin", Password:"qwerty", UserLevel:"User"}}
device := onvif.NewDevice(onvif.DeviceParams{Xaddr: "192.168.13.42:1234", Username: "username", Password: password})
device.Authenticate("username", "password")
resp, err := dev.CallMethod(createUsers)
