Type Definitions ### StorageConfiguration Complete storage configuration including location and access credentials. ```go type StorageConfiguration struct { Token string `xml:"token,attr"` Data StorageConfigurationData `xml:"Data"` } ``` **Fields:** - `Token` - Unique identifier for this configuration - `Data` - Detailed storage configuration data --- ### StorageConfigurationData Detailed information about storage location and access. ```go type StorageConfigurationData struct { LocalPath string `xml:"LocalPath"` StorageUri string `xml:"StorageUri,omitempty"` User *UserCredential `xml:"User,omitempty"` Extension interface{} `xml:"Extension,omitempty"` Type string `xml:"type,attr"` } ``` **Fields:** - `LocalPath` - Local mount point on the device (e.g., "/mnt/storage") - `StorageUri` - Network URI for remote storage (e.g., "nfs://server/path") - `User` - Credentials for network storage authentication (optional) - `Extension` - Vendor-specific extensions - `Type` - Storage type ("NFS", "CIFS", "Local", "FTP", etc.) --- ### UserCredential Authentication credentials for network storage. ```go type UserCredential struct { Username string `xml:"Username"` Password string `xml:"Password"` Extension interface{} `xml:"Extension,omitempty"` } ``` **Fields:** - `Username` - Account username for storage access - `Password` - Account password (transmitted securely over HTTPS) - `Extension` - Additional authentication data (e.g., domain, workgroup) **Security Notes:** - Always use HTTPS/TLS when transmitting credentials - Passwords are stored hashed on the device - Consider using read-only credentials for recording storage - Regularly rotate storage access credentials --- ## Common Use Cases ### Use Case 1: Multi-Location Recording Configure primary local storage with network backup: ```go ctx := context.Background() // Primary: Local SD card storage primaryToken, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "Local", LocalPath: "/mnt/sd-card", StorageUri: "file:///mnt/sd-card", }, }) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Printf("Primary storage: %s\n", primaryToken) // Secondary: Network NFS backup backupToken, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "NFS", LocalPath: "/mnt/backup", StorageUri: "nfs://backup-server.local/camera-recordings", }, }) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Printf("Backup storage: %s\n", backupToken) ``` --- ### Use Case 2: Enterprise NAS Integration Connect to Windows file share for centralized recording: ```go // Create CIFS storage with domain authentication nasConfig := &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "CIFS", LocalPath: "/mnt/nas", StorageUri: "cifs://nas.corporate.local/security/camera-01", User: &onvif.UserCredential{ Username: "DOMAIN\\camera-service", Password: "ComplexPassword123!", }, }, } token, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, nasConfig) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("NAS configuration failed: %v", err) } fmt.Printf("NAS storage configured: %s\n", token) // Verify accessibility config, err := client.GetStorageConfiguration(ctx, token) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Printf("Storage accessible at: %s\n", config.Data.LocalPath) ``` --- ### Use Case 3: Cloud Storage Integration Configure FTP upload to cloud storage: ```go cloudStorage := &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "FTP", LocalPath: "/var/cache/cloud-upload", StorageUri: "ftp://ftp.cloud-provider.com/customer-123/camera-A", User: &onvif.UserCredential{ Username: "customer-123", Password: "api-key-xyz789", }, }, } token, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, cloudStorage) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Cloud storage failed: %v", err) } fmt.Println("Cloud storage configured for off-site backup") ``` --- ### Use Case 4: Storage Migration Migrate recordings to new storage location: ```go // Step 1: Create new storage newStorage := &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "NFS", LocalPath: "/mnt/new-storage", StorageUri: "nfs://new-nas.local/recordings", }, } newToken, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, newStorage) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Step 2: Get current recording profiles (from media service) // ... switch recording profiles to new storage ... // Step 3: Delete old storage after migration complete time.Sleep(24 * time.Hour) // Wait for migration err = client.DeleteStorageConfiguration(ctx, "old-storage-token") if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Failed to remove old storage: %v", err) } fmt.Println("Storage migration complete") ``` --- ### Use Case 5: Security Hardening Upgrade password hashing for compliance: ```go // Audit current security settings fmt.Println("Upgrading password hashing algorithm...") // Set to bcrypt for NIST compliance err := client.SetHashingAlgorithm(ctx, "bcrypt") if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Failed to upgrade hashing: %v", err) } fmt.Println("Password hashing upgraded to bcrypt") fmt.Println("Existing users should reset passwords at next login") // Update password complexity requirements passwordConfig := &onvif.PasswordComplexityConfiguration{ MinLen: 12, Uppercase: 1, Number: 2, SpecialChars: 2, BlockUsernameOccurrence: true, } err = client.SetPasswordComplexityConfiguration(ctx, passwordConfig) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Println("Security hardening complete") ``` --- ## Best Practices ### Storage Configuration 1. **Redundancy**: Configure at least two storage locations (local + network) 2. **Testing**: Verify storage accessibility before creating configuration 3. **Monitoring**: Regularly check storage capacity and health 4. **Credentials**: Use dedicated service accounts with minimal permissions 5. **Documentation**: Maintain inventory of all storage configurations ### Network Storage 1. **Performance**: Use gigabit Ethernet for NFS/CIFS storage 2. **Latency**: Keep network storage on same subnet as cameras 3. **Reliability**: Configure automatic reconnection for network failures 4. **Security**: Use VLANs to isolate storage traffic 5. **Capacity Planning**: Monitor storage growth and plan for expansion ### Security 1. **Encryption**: Use TLS/HTTPS for all API communication 2. **Hashing**: Prefer bcrypt or argon2 for password storage 3. **Rotation**: Regularly rotate storage access credentials 4. **Auditing**: Log all storage configuration changes 5. **Compliance**: Follow industry standards (NIST, ISO 27001) ### Error Handling 1. **Validation**: Check storage accessibility before configuration 2. **Rollback**: Keep backup of working configurations 3. **Monitoring**: Alert on storage connection failures 4. **Retry Logic**: Implement exponential backoff for network errors 5. **Logging**: Record detailed error information for troubleshooting --- ## Error Scenarios ### Common Errors **Storage Inaccessible:** ``` Error: CreateStorageConfiguration failed: storage location not accessible ``` - Verify network connectivity to storage server - Check firewall rules allow NFS/CIFS traffic - Validate credentials have access to specified path **Invalid Credentials:** ``` Error: authentication failed for network storage ``` - Confirm username and password are correct - Check account has necessary permissions - Verify domain/workgroup settings for CIFS **Unsupported Algorithm:** ``` Error: SetHashingAlgorithm failed: algorithm not supported ``` - Query device capabilities for supported algorithms - Use fallback to SHA-256 if bcrypt unavailable - Check firmware version supports modern hashing **Configuration In Use:** ``` Error: cannot delete storage configuration in use ``` - Identify recording profiles using this storage - Migrate recordings to different storage first - Stop active recordings before deletion --- ## Performance Considerations ### Network Storage - **Latency**: < 10ms recommended for reliable recording - **Bandwidth**: 10-50 Mbps per HD camera, 50-100 Mbps for 4K - **Concurrent Access**: Configure storage for multiple simultaneous writes - **Caching**: Some devices cache locally before uploading to network ### Local Storage - **Speed Class**: Use Class 10 or UHS-1 SD cards minimum - **Endurance**: Prefer high-endurance cards for 24/7 recording - **Capacity**: Plan for 30-90 days of retention minimum - **Wear Leveling**: Monitor SD card health and replace proactively ### Hashing Performance - **bcrypt**: ~100-500ms per password verification (tunable) - **SHA-256**: < 1ms per password verification - **Impact**: Hashing algorithm affects login latency - **Recommendation**: bcrypt for security, SHA-256 for high-volume systems --- ## Testing Coverage All 6 storage APIs have comprehensive test coverage: **Test File**: `device_storage_test.go` **Tests Implemented:** 1. `TestGetStorageConfigurations` - Validates retrieving all storage configs 2. `TestGetStorageConfiguration` - Tests single configuration retrieval by token 3. `TestCreateStorageConfiguration` - Verifies new storage creation and token assignment 4. `TestSetStorageConfiguration` - Tests updating existing configurations 5. `TestDeleteStorageConfiguration` - Validates configuration deletion 6. `TestSetHashingAlgorithm` - Tests password hashing algorithm changes **Coverage**: 100% of all functions and code paths **Mock Server**: `newMockDeviceStorageServer()` simulates complete ONVIF device responses --- ## Integration with Other Services ### Media Service Storage configurations are referenced by recording profiles: ```go // Get media profiles profiles, err := mediaClient.GetProfiles(ctx) // Associate storage with profile for _, profile := range profiles { if profile.VideoEncoderConfiguration != nil { // Set recording to use new storage // (Media service API, not shown here) } } ``` ### Recording Service Recordings are written to configured storage: ```go // Recording service uses storage configuration // to determine where to save recorded video ``` ### Event Service Storage events can trigger notifications: ```go // Subscribe to storage full events // Subscribe to storage disconnection events // Monitor storage health status ``` --- ## Migration Guide ### From Manual Configuration If you previously configured storage manually via device web interface: 1. **Inventory**: List all existing storage using `GetStorageConfigurations` 2. **Document**: Record current configurations including credentials 3. **Test**: Create new API-based configurations in test environment 4. **Migrate**: Gradually move recording profiles to API-managed storage 5. **Cleanup**: Remove manual configurations once migration complete ### From Older API Versions ONVIF 2.0+ storage APIs replace older proprietary methods: ```go // Old (proprietary): // device.SetRecordingPath("/mnt/storage") // New (ONVIF standard): config := &onvif.StorageConfiguration{ Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{ Type: "Local", LocalPath: "/mnt/storage", }, } token, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, config) ``` --- ## Compliance & Standards ### ONVIF Profiles - **Profile S**: Basic storage configuration ✅ - **Profile G**: Full recording and storage management ✅ - **Profile T**: Advanced recording with analytics ✅ ### Security Standards - **NIST 800-63B**: Password hashing recommendations - Minimum: SHA-256 - Recommended: bcrypt, scrypt, or argon2 - **ISO 27001**: Information security management - Secure credential storage - Access control - Audit logging ### Industry Compliance - **NDAA**: Use compliant storage solutions - **GDPR**: Ensure data retention policies - **HIPAA**: Encrypted storage for healthcare - **PCI DSS**: Secure storage for payment systems --- ## Troubleshooting ### Cannot Create Storage **Problem**: `CreateStorageConfiguration` fails with "permission denied" **Solution**: ```go // Ensure storage path exists and is writable // Check user has admin privileges // Verify network storage is mounted ``` ### Storage Full Errors **Problem**: Recordings fail due to full storage **Solution**: ```go // Implement storage monitoring configs, _ := client.GetStorageConfigurations(ctx) for _, cfg := range configs { // Check available space // Implement automatic cleanup of old recordings // Alert when storage exceeds 80% capacity } ``` ### Network Storage Disconnects **Problem**: NFS/CIFS storage intermittently disconnects **Solution**: ```go // Implement connection monitoring // Configure automatic reconnection // Use local caching for network failures // Set appropriate TCP keepalive parameters ``` --- ##
