Где скачать onvif device manager
В установке сторонних программ важно соблюдать безопасность. По этому мы рекомендуем скачать onvif device manager с официального сайта производителя по ссылке — https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
Так вы получите последнюю версию программы под нужную вам операционную систему (Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, 10)
Также есть второй вариант — скачать код программы с всемирно известного портала разработчиков github — (https://github.com/dxball/ONVIF-Device-Manager)
Русский язык также входит в обслуживание, достаточно скачать этот device и выбрать отображение на русском. Это делается после авторизации.
Установка и запуск
После скачивания необходимо установить данную утилиту
Обратите внимание для корректной работы программы необходимо разрешение брандмауэра Windows
Чтобы запустить рабочие настройки onvif сначала надо войти в утилиту по своему имени и паролю (а до этого, конечно, скачать).
Как правило входа через свой профиль хватает для распознавания камер, но если IP адрес не добавляется автоматически, его можно ввести вручную.
Подключение камеры в ONVIF Device Manager и проверка совместимости
Многие производители интегрируют протокол ONVIF в свои продукты: камеры, видеорегистраторы, видеосерверы, реле и прочие устройства. На примере IP-камеры разберем как узнать интегрирован протокол или нет.
В 90% случаев возможно два варианта:
- Производитель или вендор могут прямо указать на поддержку протокола на упаковке или в инструкции, в технических спецификациях. В этом случае останется только выполнить предварительную настройку для подключения.
- Производитель заложил поддержку протокола, но об этом нигде не упоминается. Для того, чтобы выяснить, поддерживается ли протокол, нужно иметь доступ к настройкам камеры в ее web-интерфейсе.
Очень редко, протокол не интегрирован, но, при поддержке аппаратной платформы, может быть добавлен на уровне прошивки. Обычно, при этом поддержка реализуется не полная и невозможно использовать весь функционал.
Исходя из этого, приходим к выводу, что лучше всего заранее подбирать устройства, где производитель заявляет поддержку протокола, дабы не столкнуться с проблемами при настройке и интеграции.
Но что делать, если протокол поддерживается. Но не заявлен? Рассмотрим на примере камеры, т.к. проверка поддержки протокола в этом случае тесно связана с настройкой самой камеры для подключения в ONVIF Device Manager.
Проверка поддержки протокола камерой
Переходим в web-интерфейс камеры, в ее настройки (для большинства камер характерно, что, если протокол поддерживается, то искать настройки, связанные с ним, нужно в настройках сети или сетевых службах).
Как видно на скриншоте, в настройках есть два интересующих нас пункта:
- Порт ONVIF – сетевой TCP-порт, по которому выполняется подключение камеры по протоколу ONVIF. Порт можно поменять на свой.
- Проверка ONVIF – зашита подключения, необходимость авторизации. При использовании логин и пароль используются те же самые, что и в основной учетной записи камеры (в некоторых случаях, производитель может дать возможность установки отдельного пароля, тогда рядом будет строка указания пароля для подключения по протоколу). Ниже можно будет прочитать о том, почему стоит всегда включать защиту подключения.
Подключение камеры
После проверки поддержки протокола камерой, можно приступить к подключению в десктопном приложении.
Запускаем ONVIF Device Manager и, если камера и ПК находятся в одной локальной сети, программа в автоматическом режиме выполнит поиск доступных устройств.

Камера сразу определилась. Можно приступать к просмотру и изменению настроек.
Если же на камере был установлен пароль и включена проверка ONVIF, то при попытке подключения будет запрос на логин и пароль.
Выбираем камеру, пытаемся получить видеопоток или зайти в настройки, а приложение требует авторизацию.
Если камера расположена не локально, а удаленно и есть возможность подключения по статике, то используя заданный в настройках камеры порт ONVIF, ее можно также добавить в ONVIF Device Manager.
В окне программы, в самом низу списка камер есть кнопка «Добавить», для добавления камер вручную. Нажимаем кнопку и указываем URL для подключения (IP-адрес и порт).
После применения, камера появится в общем списке. В случае использования проверки ONVIF, программа запросит авторизацию как и в предыдущем пункте, при попытке получить доступ к видеопотоку или настройкам.
Камера появилась в общем списке.
После подключения камеры, можно получить доступ к видеопотоку, настройкам и прочему функционалу программы и камеры, например, управлению движением камеры, если она поддерживает функцию PTZ.

Важные особенности протокола ONVIF и программы ONVIF Device Manager
Также хотелось бы рассказать о двух важных моментах, связанных с протоколом.
- Ранее говорилось о возможности проверки авторизации по ONVIF. Рекомендуется всегда использовать эту функцию. Очень часто бывает так, что на камеру устанавливается пароль и, по стандартным протоколам подключения. она недоступна без авторизации. Но! Особенность ONVIF Device Manager’a позволяет подключаться к просмотру такой камеры. К примеру, некое частное лицо может получить доступ к сети, если сеть не скрыта специально и просматривать ваши камеры, пусть даже и не имея возможности выполнить настройки (а если камера не запаролена, то и настройки поменяет). Рекомендуется всегда пользоваться функцией проверки ONVIF, в настройках камер, дабы избежать ненужных рисков и опасности, что система будет скомпрометирована и доступна для стороннего подключения.
- Второй момент уже более практичен. Как известно, многие сервисы облачного видеонаблюдения работают с протоколом RTSP для подключения камер. Нередки ситуации, когда сложно выяснить, какую RTSP-ссылку нужно использовать для подключения той или иной камеры (особенно актуально для noname камер из китайских маркетплейсов, например, AliExpress). ONVIF Device Manager показывает ссылку на RTSP-поток камер, благодаря этому можно легко узнать ссылку, подключив камеру в программе.
После подключения камеры просто открываем просмотр и сразу же видим ссылку:

4.Specify video resolution.
7.Go to Live video section.
Here you can see the video, the link to which you have specified.
3.4Video Streaming (optionally)
This section allows you to configure the following parameters of displaying video:
Encoder and resolution (pixels) of the video (selected in the dropdown).
Frame rate (frame per second) denotes how many frames per second are captured by the video camera connected to the device. This parameter is uneditable and shown just for information.
Encoding interval (number of frames) denotes at which rate the frames coming from the camera are encoded. For example, when encoding interval comprises 25, it means that 1 frame from 25 captured per second is encoded and transmitted to the user. The maximum value reduces the load to the channel, but may cause skipping information from the frames that were not encoded. Reducing encoding interval will increase the frequency of picture update, as well as the load to the channel. The parameter is set with the help of slider bar.
Bitrate limit (kbps) is the amount of information required to play one second of video. The less the bitrate is, the less the final video file size will be. But when the bitrate is considerably reduced, the program will have to use stronger compression algorithms, which reduces video quality, too. The value is entered manually or with the help of spin box.
Quality is the parameter which enables to reduce the load to the channel by means of reducing the picture definition. The parameter is set with the help of slider bar: the left most position corresponds to the highest picture definition, the right most to the lowest load to the video channel.
GOV length is possible to edit only in case the encoder is Н264. This parameter denotes the length of picture group between the two key frames. The higher this value is, the less is the load to the network, but the quality of the video is affected. The value is entered manually or with the help of spin box.
Set the necessary values and click Apply.
4.Video analytics Configuration
4.1Default Annotation and Analytics Configuration.
ONVIF Device Manager has default annotation and analytics settings and is ready to use with any device. It is possible to view the settings with a double- click on Annotation Module Default Annotation and Analytics Module Default Analytics respectively.
To modify analytics module, click on Analytics Module Default Analytics and then click Modify.
4.2Object Tracker Configuration
1.Specify the region where object tracking should be applied. For this, move the sides of the red rectangle by dragging its corners with the mouse left button.
2.In order to create additional corners, double click on one of rectangle sides in any place. Holding mouse left button, move the new point to the necessary position until a new polygon corner is formed. The same way create other polygon corners.
3.Position the polygon so that its borders correspond to the tracking region.
4.Check Enable object tracker to make other parameters editable.
5.Set necessary contrast sensitivity by moving the slider. This value denotes how contrastive an object should be to be detected against the backround. For example, at high contrast sensitivity a peson in dark clothes is more likely to be detected against dark background.
6.By moving the slider, set displacement sensitivity. It denotes which distance a person or vehicle should cover in the video to be detected as a moving object. At high displacement sensitivity, a short distance is enough for detection.
7.Video analytics can be configured to track only objects moving in a certain direction. For this, select the directions you need at the octangular figure on the left. The selected directions turn gray after a mouse click.
8.To select all the directions at once, use All button. None button diselects everything.
9.To save the settings click Apply.
Calibration allows relating object sizes in the video with their real sizes. ONVIF Device Manager supports two types of calibration.
This calibration type requires specifying the following parameters:
• Marker real height, cm
1.Open Depth calibration tab in Analytics section.
2.Select Height Marker calibration type.
3.Select an object in the video that has equal height at its different parts (eg., a fence). It is important to measure the height from the ground.
4.Set both markers against objects of the same height (see the picture). Marker height can be changed by dragging its upper and lower points (the cursor assuming the form of a vertical arrow).
5.To move the marker, drag it to the necessary position with the mouse left button.
6.Fill in the necessary fields under the video: from the dropdown select matrix format, specify focal length and height of the real object related to the markers.
7.Save the settings by clicking Apply.
Does not require specifying matrix format and camera focal length. For this calibration type it is necessary to specify height and width of the real object (mm) shown in the video at different distance from the camera. The easiest way is calibration by a person’s picture.
2.The person stands within camera view in the background. The first 2D- marker should be positioned in such a way that vertically it corresponded to the person’s height and horizontally to the space he takes.
3.The first 2D-marker remains in the same position. The person moves to the foreground within camera view and stands in the same position as the first time. Place the second marker the same way as the first.
4.Fill in the parameters under the video: real object width and height (mm).
5.Save the settings by clicking Apply.

Совместимость с оборудованием
Менеджер устройств ONVIF совместим с IP-устройствами, поддерживающих одноименных стандарт, например, камеры Axis и Hikvision. Наиболее полно возможности приложения раскрываются с видеоаналитическим устройством “MagicBox”, особенно по части видеоаналитики и событий. Полный список совместимого оборудования представлен на сайте форума ONVIF. Стоить отметить, что процедура сертификации оборудования очень несовершенна, и устройства рекомендуется брать на тестирование.
О стандарте ONVIF
Международный форум ONVIF (англ. — Open Network Video Interface Forum) основан компаниями “Axis Communications”, “Bosch Security Systems” и “Sony” в 2008 году с целью разработки и распространения открытого стандарта для систем физической безопасности на базе IP-протокола (IP-based security).
Стандарт ONVIF, разрабатываемый членами форума, определяет протоколы взаимодействия таких устройств как IP-камеры, энкодеры, видеорегистраторы, видеодисплеи, системы управления видео и контроля доступа.
Стандарт является некоммерческим и открыт для производителей, разработчиков программного обеспечения, системных интеграторов и конечных пользователей.
Сегодня число участников форума ONVIF превысило 300 компаний и число сертифицированных продуктов превысило 800. Де-факто стандарт доминирующим в России.
Разработчики ONVIF выбрали наиболее перспективные технологии и адаптировали их для IP-видеонаблюдения. В частности, спецификация ONVIF построена на современных веб-сервисах, описываемых языком WSDL, протоколах RTSP, SOAP, стандарте видеосжатия H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG. Стандарт определяется следующие аспекты взаимодействия передающих устройств (IP-камеры, кодера, ip-видеосервера) с принимающими устройствами (системами управления видео, видеорегистраторы/DVR): 1) конфигурирование сетевого интерфейса; 2) обнаружение устройств по протоколу WS-Discovery; 3) управление профилями работы камеры; 4) настройка поточной передачи медиа-данных; 5) обработка событий; 6) управление приводом купольной камеры (PTZ); 7) видеоаналитика (видеоанализ); 
защита (управление доступом, шифрование).
Важным преимуществом стандарта ONVIF является хорошая поддержка видеоаналитики, встраиваемой в конечные IP-устройства, например, камеры и энкодеры. Таким образом, устройства наблюдения могут осуществлять локальное детектирование, сопровождение и распознавание объектов. Эти оперативные метаданные анализа вместе с видео и изображениями будут переданы через IP-сеть по протоколам ONVIF на пульт охраны и в архив.
Стандарт ONVIF регламентирует вопросы информационной безопасности и защиты от несанкционированного доступа в сетях IP-видеонаблюдения, такие как идентификация и аутентификация клиентов, управление учетными записями и правами доступа.
В следующей таблице показаны сервисы, необходимые для каждого типа устройства. Обязательные сервисы обозначены буквой M. Если опциональная функция реализована в устройстве, то соответствующий сервис, который должен подержится, обозначен буквой C.

Стандарт ONVIF позволяется организовать взаимодействие между IP-устройствами не только в локальных, но и в глобальных вычислительных сетях (WAN). Так стандарт рассматривает сценарии межсетевого взаимодействия: 1) устройство находится в локальной сети, а клиент (принимающая сторона) находится в глобальной сети; 2) устройство находится в глобальной сети, а клиент – в локальной; 3) устройство и клиент находятся в разных локальных сетях; 4) устройство и клиент находится в глобальной сети. Для соединения устройства и клиента для перечисленных сценариев используется Прокси обнаружения (Discovery proxy).
If you want to test your IP camera to make sure it is compatible with ONVIF just use the ONVIF Device Manager. It’s FREE software (you can find it here).
Read this article to get the software running like the picture below.
What is ONVIF Device Manager?
ONVIF Device Manager is a FREE software used to test and manage network video transmitters such as IP cameras, DVRs, NVRs and Encoders which are compliant with the ONVIF protocol. It was developed by the company Synesis located in Moscow, Russia and it’s distributed under the GNU General Public License.
==> If you don’t know what ONVIF is, I highly recommend you to read the article: What is ONVIF which has a good introduction on the topic and also the article ONVIF protocol, the benefits, and drawbacks which shows in details some important information you should know.
The last version of the ONVIF Device Manager is the 2.2.5.
At least this is the last official version I could find available for downloading (just in case you have a newer version, please leave a comment below this article).
Just click the link below to download the ONVIF Device Manager 2.2.5.
The ONVIF Device Manager Interface
The interface of the software is very basic. On the left side, there are boxes to input the username and password the software should use when trying to connect to the camera and the basic information about the IP camera that was found.
Note the “Add” button on the bottom left side which allows you to input the camera IP manually in case the software didn’t find the camera automatically.
After pressing this button a new window pops up to let you input the information.
Just replace the IP address and don’t change the rest of the information that is there. As you can see in the picture, I just input the IP 192.168.2.180 so the ONVIF Device Manager can find my IP camera in the network.
If your IP camera uses another ONVIF port other than the 80, just input the port number after the IP Address and use a colon (:) to separate the information:
eg: http://192.168.2.180:8899/onvif/device_service
Note: In most cases, you don’t need to change the port number, however sometimes the IP camera comes with a different ONVIF port setup. Just check the camera manual or the network menu to make sure you have the correct info.
ONVIF Device Manager Camera Info
After adding the IP camera to the software, you can select the camera on the left side and see the information on the right side of the software.
There’s a menu on the right top and a live video preview at the bottom right.
Now it’s easy, you just to navigate through the menus to check the information you need and also see the live video stream and profiles available in the camera.
Camera live view
Just click the “live view” menu to watch the live video streaming from your IP camera. That is the proof your camera works with the ONVIF protocol.
The ONVIF Device Manager can pull different videos streaming from the IP camera with different resolution, frame rate, and compression. All depends on the configuration that is available in the camera profiles.
If you see a low-quality or choppy video stream, don’t worry because that could be related to the profile the software is pulling the video from. You just need to go the camera menu and adjust the profiles accordingly or test other profiles by just selecting them in the ONVIF Device Manager interface (more on that later).
IP camera profiles
The number of video profiles available in the IP camera depends on the make and model your using. Professional security cameras use to have a higher number of profiles available ( usually in the more expensive models).
The ONVIF Device Manager can show you which profile is being pulled from the camera and what is the RTSP command used to stream the video.
See the picture below for details.
Can you see there’s a text string at the bottom of the image ?
This one shows rtsp://192.168.2.180:554/onvif/profile2/media.smp.
That’s the RTSP command used to stream the video and you can see it contains the profile2 information, which means the software is pulling the 2nd camera profile. The video quality depends on this camera profile configuration.
