Intellect supports connecting devices via the ONVIF protocol.

Note.

In some cases (for example, if there is no video from the device), when connecting the camera using the ONVIF protocol, it may be necessary to synchronize the time and the time zone between the Server and the device in the web interface of the latter.

Note.

Set the OnvifCompatibilityMode registry key to 1 if the IP device does not support ONVIF fully – see Registry keys reference guide.


Add an ONVIF device in Intellect as follows:

  1. Open  Camera discovery tool.
  2. The discovered ONVIF devices appear in the list. If the required device is not in the list, try clicking Search (1) and wait for device rediscovering. Verify ONVIF or ONVIF 2.X are displayed in the list (2), the correct number of channels for the discovered device is in the list (3) and auto (4) in the Firmware list. Enter the required value if necessary (by opening the corresponding dropdown list). If the general device is indicated in the list (3), then after you click on the + icon, the device type will be automatically detected, and the number of device channels will be displayed in the list (2).
  3. Select videoserver settings in the dropdown list (5) if settings applied in Intellect are to be sent to the camera when it is added or select device settings if they are to be in use.
  4. Enter the user name (6) and password (7) to connect an ONVIF device. The user name and password are given in the documentation for the connected device.  
  5. Verify the TCP/IP port is correct (8). Enter the required value if necessary.
  6. Select the objects that are to be created under an ONVIF device by setting the corresponding check boxes checked (9) – see details in  Camera discovery tool.
  7. Click the Apply button (10) for one device or (11) if several devices are selected.
    The selected objects are automatically created in the object tree in the Hardware tab.
  8. If an ONVIF device has not been discovered, add it manually.
    1. Enter the device IP address in the IP address field (12).
    2. Enter TCP/IP port number in the Port field (13).

    3. Select ONVIF or ONVIF 2.X in the Brand list (14).

      Note.

      Select ONVIF 2.X and 1-channel-multistream to use multistream via ONVIF protocol. Video streams of connected ONVIF device are configured in a standard way (see Configuration of multistream video section of  Administrator’s Guide).
    4. Select the number of device channels in the Model list (15).
    5. Select auto in the Firmware dropdown list (16).
    6. Click the Add button (17).
  9. As a result the ONVIF device with specified parameters appears at the top of the window.
  10. To complete creation of ONVIF devices perform steps 2-6 as described above.
  11. Click the Exit button to close the IP Wizard (18).

An ONVIF device is now created.
