getonvifinfo.py is a simple python script that retrieves available RTSP stream URLs and, optionally, device capabilities and device information from an ONVIF camera. I found that it is often difficult to find the stream URLs and other information of a camera without such a tool.
onvifrestart.py is a python script that restarts a camera using the ONVIF protocol. I got some cheap cameras that need regular restarting.
- Clone the repository
- Install required Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt

To use the scripts, run them from the command line with the IP address, port, username, and password of your ONVIF-compliant camera.
