ZoneMinder Forums

Hello,

I bought a PTZ camera with name "Toaioho QB320". It works fine with the belonging app, also the PTZ control.
But actually I want to use Zoneminder. But I cannot make PTZ control work.

I figured out two ports: 8554 and 8000. 8554 works with the video. I found in the web the link for this and it works fine.
rtsp://admin:password@192.168.2.58:8554/Streaming/Channels/101
But no chance to get PTZ run.

I tried it with ODM. This works directly perfect, but I don't know how to figure the info about PTZ out.
ODM indetifies the camera as "Meari Speed 6BT" and PTZ works fine.

In Zoneminder I tried 1000 things and syntaxes and ports but without success.
If I e.g. use: admin:password@192.168.2.58:8000/onvif/device_service and "Netcat ONVIF" then I get in the log
[After sending PTZ command, camera returned the following error:'400 Not Authorized'
But username and password are correct

What can I do to figure it out.

I think you should testing with Netcat. To test ONVIF commands using Netcat, ensure you’re sending properly formatted SOAP requests. Here’s a basic example of how you might format a PTZ command:
Replace <length> with the length of your SOAP request and <SOAP request here> with the actual SOAP XML for a PTZ command.

Use Netcat.

Look in logs in /var/log/zm/zmcontrol_*.log

Turn on debug Options->Logging->LOG_DEBUG

It might be as simple as needing to pass user authentication.

I think this part is interessting:

I use: admin:password@192.168.2.58:8000/onvif/device_service

In the log file I can find

[After sending PTZ command, camera returned the following error:'400 Not Authorized'

But I don't know why. User and password are the same as for the stream.

Code: Select all

bash
echo -e "POST /onvif/PTZ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 192.168.2.58:8000\r\nContent-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=utf-8\r\nContent-Length: <length>\r\n\r\n<SOAP request here>" | nc 192.168.2.58 8000

Replace <length> with the length of your SOAP request and <SOAP request here> with the actual SOAP XML for a PTZ command.

Actually I don't know what you mean with SOAP.

A protocol used in ONVIF is Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

as it works with ODM I used Wireshark (WS) to get the packets what ODM sends to port 8000 if I use PTZ

First this is sent:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope ... ><Security s:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/ ... ><Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/ ... ord><Nonce EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/ ... e><Created xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/ ... er><s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><ContinuousMove xmlns="http://www.onvif.org/ver20/ptz/wsdl"><P ... LE_000</Pr

But how can help me this in ZM? AT least I can see: /onvif/device_service and /onvif/ptz_service
A usage in ZM has no effect.
