# ONVIF Camera Diagnostic Utility
A comprehensive diagnostic tool for collecting detailed information from ONVIF cameras. This utility helps analyze camera capabilities, troubleshoot issues, and generate reports for creating camera-specific tests.
## Features
**Comprehensive Testing** - Tests all major ONVIF operations:
- Device information and capabilities
- Media profiles and streaming
- Video encoder configurations
- Imaging settings
- PTZ status and presets (if available)
- System date/time
**Detailed Reporting** - Generates JSON reports with:
- All successful operations with response data
- Failed operations with error details
- Response times for performance analysis
- Structured data ready for test generation
**Easy to Use** - Simple command-line interface with minimal requirements
**XML Debugging** - For detailed debugging, see the companion `onvif-xml-capture` utility that captures raw SOAP XML
**Helpful for**:
- Creating camera-specific integration tests
- Troubleshooting ONVIF compatibility issues
- Analyzing camera capabilities
- Debugging connection problems
- Documenting camera configurations
## Installation
### Option 1: Build from source
```bash
cd /path/to/onvif-go
go build -o onvif-diagnostics ./cmd/onvif-diagnostics/
```
### Option 2: Install globally
```bash
go install ./cmd/onvif-diagnostics
```
## Usage
### Basic Usage
```bash
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service" \
-username "service" \
-password "Service.1234"
```
### With XML Capture (for debugging)
```bash
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service" \
-username "service" \
-password "Service.1234" \
-capture-xml \
-verbose
```
This creates two files:
- `Manufacturer_Model_Firmware_timestamp.json` - Diagnostic report
- `Manufacturer_Model_Firmware_xmlcapture_timestamp.tar.gz` - Raw SOAP XML archive
### Verbose Output
```bash
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service" \
-username "service" \
-password "Service.1234" \
-verbose
```
### Capture Raw SOAP XML
```bash
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service" \
-username "service" \
-password "Service.1234" \
-capture-xml
```
Enables XML traffic capture and creates a compressed tar.gz archive containing all SOAP request/response pairs. Useful for debugging XML parsing issues or analyzing camera behavior.
The archive contains:
- `capture_001_GetDeviceInformation.json` - Request/response metadata with operation name
- `capture_001_GetDeviceInformation_request.xml` - Formatted SOAP request
- `capture_001_GetDeviceInformation_response.xml` - Formatted SOAP response
- `capture_002_GetSystemDateAndTime.json` - Next operation metadata
- ... (one set per SOAP operation, named by operation type)
Each file is named with the SOAP operation (e.g., GetDeviceInformation, GetProfiles) for easy identification.
Extract the archive:
```bash
tar -xzf camera-logs/Camera_Model_xmlcapture_timestamp.tar.gz
```
### Custom Output Directory
```bash
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service" \
-username "service" \
-password "Service.1234" \
-output ./my-camera-reports
```
### All Options
```
Usage of ./onvif-diagnostics:
-endpoint string
ONVIF device endpoint (e.g., http://192.168.1.201/onvif/device_service)
-username string
ONVIF username
-password string
ONVIF password
-output string
Output directory for logs (default "./camera-logs")
-timeout int
Request timeout in seconds (default 30)
-verbose
Verbose output
-include-raw
Include raw SOAP responses (increases file size)
```

## Use Cases
### 1. Creating Camera-Specific Tests
Run the diagnostic on your camera and share the JSON file. The report contains all the information needed to create comprehensive integration tests.
### 2. Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If your camera isn't working, run diagnostics to see exactly which operations fail and what error messages are returned.
### 3. Comparing Cameras
Run diagnostics on multiple cameras to compare capabilities, response times, and compatibility.
### 4. Documentation
Generate detailed reports of camera configurations for documentation purposes.
## Interpreting Results
### Success Indicators
- ✓ Green checkmarks indicate successful operations
- Response times help identify performance issues
- High success rates indicate good compatibility
### Error Indicators
- ✗ Red X marks indicate failed operations
- Info symbols indicate optional features not available
- Check the `errors` array in JSON for detailed error messages
### Common Issues
**All operations fail:**
- Check network connectivity
- Verify endpoint URL is correct
- Ensure camera is powered on
**Authentication errors:**
- Verify username and password
- Check user permissions on camera
**Some profiles fail:**
- Camera may have different capabilities per profile
- Some operations may not be supported by all profiles
**Timeout errors:**
- Increase timeout with `-timeout 60`
- Check network latency
- Verify camera is responding
## Sharing Reports
When sharing diagnostic reports:
1. **Anonymize if needed** - The report includes:
- IP addresses (in endpoint)
- Usernames (not passwords)
- Serial numbers
2. **What to share**:
- The complete JSON file
- Any console output showing errors
- Camera model and firmware version
3. **Where to share**:
- GitHub Issues
- Email for analysis
- Pull request descriptions
## Advanced Usage
### Batch Testing Multiple Cameras
Create a script to test multiple cameras:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
cameras=(
"192.168.1.201:service:password1"
"192.168.1.202:admin:password2"
"192.168.1.203:user:password3"
)
for camera in "${cameras[@]}"; do
IFS=':' read -r ip user pass <<< "$camera"
echo "Testing camera at $ip..."
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "http://$ip/onvif/device_service" \
-username "$user" \
-password "$pass"
done
```
### Automated Testing
Include in CI/CD pipelines:
```yaml
- name: Run ONVIF Diagnostics
run: |
./onvif-diagnostics \
-endpoint "${{ secrets.CAMERA_ENDPOINT }}" \
-username "${{ secrets.CAMERA_USERNAME }}" \
-password "${{ secrets.CAMERA_PASSWORD }}" \
-output ./reports
- name: Upload Diagnostic Reports
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with:
name: camera-diagnostics
path: ./reports/
```
## Development
### Adding New Tests
To add new diagnostic tests, edit `cmd/onvif-diagnostics/main.go`:
1. Create a new test function following the pattern:
```go
func testNewOperation(ctx context.Context, client *onvif.Client, report *CameraReport) *NewOperationResult {
// Implementation
}
```
2. Add result struct to store data
3. Call the test in main()
4. Update report structure
### Building for Different Platforms
```bash
# Linux
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o onvif-diagnostics-linux ./cmd/onvif-diagnostics/
# Windows
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o onvif-diagnostics.exe ./cmd/onvif-diagnostics/
# macOS ARM
