Issue with recording from the Open ONVIF (Network Video Interface Forum ) device

Question

I'm working on Open Network Video Interface Forum-Java project and following the steps described in the ONVIF Application Programmer's Guide.

I have generated sources from the wsdls provided in ONVIF site. I'm able to retrieve the live stream URI using the media.wsdl. Now I have an issue with recording. The codes that I have tried is given below:

RecordingService recording_ervice = new RecordingService(); RecordingPort record_port = recording_ervice.getRecordingPort();   BindingProvider bindingProvider = (BindingProvider) record_port;  // Add a security handler for the credentials final Binding binding = bindingProvider.getBinding(); List<Handler> handlerList = binding.getHandlerChain(); if (handlerList == null) {     handlerList = new ArrayList<Handler>(); }  handlerList.add(new RecordStream.SecurityHandler()); // binding.setHandlerChain(handlerList);  // Set the actual web services address instead of the mock service Map<String, Object> requestContext = bindingProvider.getRequestContext();  requestContext.put(BindingProvider.ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_PROPERTY, "http://" + deviceip + "/onvif/media_service"); requestContext.put(BindingProvider.USERNAME_PROPERTY, user); requestContext.put(BindingProvider.PASSWORD_PROPERTY, pass);  Recordings recordings = record_port.getRecordings(); 

The above code on run gives an error as:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Method 'ns11:GetServiceCapabilities' not implemented: method name or namespace not recognized 

I also tried with media service, then the error is:

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: The server sent HTTP status code 405: Method Not Allowed 

Answer 1

When you tried with the media source, you requested an unauthorized action apparently since the server returned Error code 405. Either the method is prohibited from use, or you need a credential to use the method.

As for Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Method 'ns11:GetServiceCapabilities' not implemented: method name or namespace not recognized, @Sigismondo is right about the fact that most ip cameras don't support it. You will need an alternative recording method(literal and pun) to record from an ip camera.
