ONVIF Device Manager is a Network Video Client (NVC) to manage Network Video Transmitters (NVT) and Network Video Analytics (NVA) devices. Implements Discovery, Device, Media, Imaging, Analytics, Events and PTZ services. Written in C# and uses ffmpeg for media decoding. Onvif Device Manager is a software made by the Onvif community, used to discover all cameras in the local network that supports the Onvif standards. Because the Verifire supports Onvif standards, so we can use this software to discover the camera. Western digital hard disk format.

With the aid of this nifty application, you will be able to manage your network videos over the ONVIF protocol in a complication-free manner

ONVIF Device Manager is an open-source project that implements device discovery over the ONVIF protocol. It provides all that is needed in order to manage such devices and to perform advanced processing tasks such as video analytics.

Under the hood

ONVIF Device Manager relies on a complex architecture, which has the Onvifdm library at the core. This component acts as a client for the ONVIF protocol, arranging for full control over video transmitters.

The library is complemented by a GUI application, which is intended as a frontend for the ONVIF client, making it possible to adjust configurations in a streamlined manner. These two components are interdependent and interact at all times in order to provide a complication-free experience.

Simple interface, endless possibilities

Despite boasting such a complex algorithm, ONVIF Device Manager is pretty simple in appearance. It adopts an intuitive and user-friendly GUI that provides login fields where you should enter your credentials in order to gain access to the network.

The next step is to populate the device list and this is made possible by the inner engine of the program through the discovery feature. You can specify the device's address manually, then have the software fetch details and perform various tasks, such as recording.

Firmware upgrades

Another feature of ONVIF Device Manager is related to firmware; the program can be used to perform upgrades for the selected devices or to restore their original settings to a previous firmware, for instance. The tasks are performed in the background and are minimally invasive, therefore you won't be bothered in any way.

Final thoughts

ONVIF Device Manager is a good asset if you want to make the most out of your ONVIF configuration. It can help to display live videos, as well as to perform more sophisticated tasks such as analytics or recording.

For example, you set username and password in the PC-CCTV program and enter the username and password in the NVR, but NVR still gives authorization error message.

For correct ONVIF authorization, it is necessary that UTC-time parameter which is set for the camera/PC-CCTV and UTC-time which is set for the NVR were not differ significantly, the value of the parameters shouldn't differ for more than a two minutes.

Usually, at the beginning of the dialoge with ONVIF camera, NVR requests UTC-time from camera (this operation does not require authorization), and later sends ONVIF requests to the camera using the time. Thereby, even if different UTC-time set for NVR and camera, the authentication process will be successful.

However some NVR's manufacturers do not implement this algorithm and the NVR operates using its 'own time'. If the UTC-time set for camera ( PC-CCTV program) is differ siginficantly from time set for the NVR, the authentication error occurs.

To avoid this error, you need to set the same UTC-time for the PC-CCTV program and for NVR.

Solution:

Onvif Device Manager

  • Setup your NVR – make sure that NVR receives UTC-time from the NTP-server (any ntp server)
  • Check that your OS Windows also receives time from NTP-server (any ntp server)
  • Open System tab in the PC-CCTV program and set option 'Program uses its own internal time'
  • Check if the button 'Set internal time to value of Windows time' available, that means that time of PC-CCTV program and Windosws time are different – press the button.
  • Now the value of PC-CCTV's UTC-time matches with Windows UTC-time and should match with NVR's UTC-time. Y0u shouldn't have the authentication error anymore.
  • The value of PC-CCTV's UTC-time program is displayed in the 'System' tab.


Button 'Set internal time to value of Windows time' is only available if programs UTC-time is different from the UTC-time Windows.

Attention: Windows displays the local time, which can be different from the UTC-time for a few hours according to your time zone. The time zone set for Windows and and set for NVR should be the same, however there shouldn't be a problem if you have different time zones set for computer and NVR. It's important to set up NVR and Windows computer to receive time from ntp servers.
