Hi,

Some cameras have Aux Commands, its defined in the Onvif protocol, there are probably some commands that are implemented in a specific driver, Is there an option to get those commands and execute them via the API?

A sample of those commands is a "Wiper" or a some thermal related commands on a thermal camera.

  Hello Alex,

  Which API do you mean?

  Could you please give a bigger picture and elaborate your business scenario? What is the objective?

  Hi, We currently integrating NX Witness into our software to be able to see video streams, control PTZ cameras and more, we are using the "For Developers" tab, the "Server Api" and the "Video Api".

  We would like to be able to trigger Auxiliary Commands of the camera (if any) so is there an option to receive a list of commands and execute them via the Server Api ?

  Hello,

  Some of the Aux Commands are utilized by the Server, but there is no ready to use Server API endpoint for Aux Command discovered on a camera.

  However, the Server can act as a HTTP proxy server. That means, that you can send a request via the Server.

  Here is an example

  curl -vk https://ya.ru -x http://admin:password@localhost:7001

  In such manner, via the Server you can send any HTTP request to a camera.
