ONVIF-Kamera-Setup in VMS: Milestone, Genetec, Axis Camera Station und iVMS

Milestone XProtect — ONVIF-Kamera hinzufügen

1. XProtect Management Client → Recording Servers
   → right-click recording server → Add Hardware

2. Add Hardware Wizard:
   → Select "Manually specify hardware" (not auto-detect for ONVIF)
   → Driver: ONVIF Conformant Device (NOT manufacturer-specific driver)
   → Address: http://192.168.1.64/onvif/device_service
   → Port: 80 (or camera's ONVIF port)
   → ONVIF username / password (NOT HTTP admin credentials)

3. Profile selection (appears after connection):
   → Select "ONVIF Profile T" if camera supports H.265 + metadata
   → Select "ONVIF Profile S" for basic H.264 streaming only
   → Profile T enables: H.265 streams, HTTPS, metadata events

4. Recording settings:
   → Default codec: H.265 (if Profile T selected)
   → Stream 1 (live): max resolution, 25fps, H.265 High
   → Stream 2 (record): 15fps, H.265 High, motion-triggered

5. Motion detection:
   → Use "ONVIF Motion" (camera-side analytics) not software motion
   → Reduces CPU load on recording server significantly
   → Enable in Camera Properties → Events → ONVIF Motion

6. Verify: right-click camera → Live → confirm stream + motion events

Genetec Security Center — ONVIF-Einheiten hinzufügen

1. Config Tool → Video → Archiver → Units → Add an IP unit

2. Discovery method:
   → Auto-discovery (WS-Discovery): cameras on same VLAN appear automatically
   → Manual: enter IP → Unit type: ONVIF → manufacturer: ONVIF Generic

3. Unit addition wizard:
   → Network credentials: ONVIF user/password (not HTTP admin)
   → Genetec negotiates Profile S/T/G/M automatically based on camera certs
   → For Profile T: H.265 codec option appears in camera properties

4. ONVIF-specific settings (Unit Properties → Extensions → ONVIF):
   → Event polling interval: 1000ms (default) → reduce to 500ms for faster alarms
   → Metadata streaming: enable if Profile M camera (analytics bounding boxes)
   → HTTPS transport: enable for Profile T cameras with HTTPS endpoint

5. Recording profile assignment:
   → Camera Properties → Recording → assign recording schedule
   → Codec: select H.265 (HEVC) for Profile T cameras
   → Retention: configure per project requirement

6. Verify: Config Tool → camera → Live → check stream
   Event monitor → trigger motion → verify alarm event appears

Axis Camera Station 5.x — Drittanbieter-ONVIF-Kamera

1. ACS Client → Configuration → Cameras → Add Cameras

2. Search results:
   → Axis cameras appear with full model information (native AXIS driver)
   → Third-party ONVIF cameras appear as "ONVIF device" with IP only

3. For ONVIF third-party camera:
   → Select discovered device or click "Add manually"
   → Type: ONVIF
   → Address: camera IP
   → Port: 80 (default) or camera's ONVIF HTTP port
   → Credentials: ONVIF user/password

4. ONVIF profile selection:
   → ACS automatically queries GetProfiles and GetVideoSources
   → Select profile: Profile_1 (usually main stream, high res)
   → Secondary stream: Profile_2 (lower res for mobile/low-bandwidth view)

5. Recording configuration:
   → Schedule: 24/7 or motion-triggered
   → Motion detection: use ONVIF motion (camera-side) if available
   → Resolution: match camera's optimal H.265 resolution
   → Frame rate: 15fps for recording, 25fps for live view

6. Note: AXIS Object Analytics (perimeter detection, occupancy) is
   available ONLY on native Axis cameras, not ONVIF third-party.
   Use camera's own analytics and ONVIF motion event for non-Axis.

iVMS-4200 – Hinzufügen einer ONVIF-Drittanbieterkamera

1. iVMS-4200 → Device Management → Add → IP/Domain

2. Device parameters:
   → Adding Mode: IP/Domain
   → IP Address: camera IP
   → Device Type: ONVIF (from dropdown — not "Encoding Device")
   → Port: 80 (or camera's ONVIF port — CHECK camera web UI)
   → User Name: ONVIF credentials
   → Password: ONVIF credentials

   Frequent issue: cameras default ONVIF to port 8899, not 80.
   Hanwha and Dahua often use port 8080. Always verify in camera UI.

3. ONVIF streaming URL format (for manual RTSP testing):
   rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.64:554/onvif/stream_0
   rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.64:554/Streaming/Channels/101
   (URL format is NOT standardised in ONVIF — query GetStreamUri)

4. Auto-detect: iVMS → Device Management → Auto Search
   → Device type filter: ONVIF
   → Cameras on LAN with WS-Discovery enabled appear automatically
   → Confirm each found device before adding

5. After adding: verify live view in iVMS main interface
   Preview → select camera → confirm stream resolution and codec
