My question is about the ONVIF specification. http://www.onvif.org/imwp/download.asp?ContentID=18006 In section 5.10, it says :
A service is a collection of related ports. This specification does not mandate any service naming principles.
Lets say that I have the IP address of an NVT (Network Video Transmitter like an IP camera for example), how do I form the address of the device management web service? This service is the entry point of the whole system.
Thank you.

Like any IP based device it will require to know its IP address, or at least have a way to find it. These cameras come with a default IP of 192.168. 1.2 or sometimes will be set to DHCP. The best way to approach this is by downloading and using the TP-IP Series Search Utility.
ONVIF Devices are discovered according WS-Discovery specification. You send a Probe message, and devices that match the Probe's constraints send back a ProbeMatch message, as described on page 13 and 14 in ONVIF Application Programmers Guide.
Motion detection, audio, remote viewing, camera settings, and PTZ control are features that will not work, even with an IP camera that is labeled “ONVIF compliant”.
According to the official document (section 5.1.1), you can access the service at http://<IP address>/onvif/device_service
