Is it ok to choose Onvif protocol stack to talk to Camera from NUCLEO-F767ZI board?

[rdevisetti]

Please let me know if choosing Onvif stack to talk to a Surveillance Camera like CP-UNC-LA41ZPL5-MD,
4MP WDR Network IR Bullet Camera - 50Mtr, from a NUCLEO-F767ZI board. Is it a good choice to choose Azure as RTOS for this project?

Using HTTP is the only way to talk to the camera?

We also have a custom board based on STM32-F767VIT6; we will be porting this code to the custom board, once it is proven on the NUCLEO board.

We are going to download the Onvif stack from Genivia (Genivia Product Downloads).

I would like to take your valuable opinions before jumping on to the project. Please suggest. Thank you!

Hello @rdevisetti,

Sorry for the delayed reply. For your project involving communication with the CP-UNC-LA41ZPL5-MD surveillance camera using the NUCLEO-F767ZI board, utilizing the Onvif stack is an excellent option due to its interoperability and advanced features. Azure RTOS is also an outstanding choice, offering low latency, high performance, and compatibility with STM32 microcontrollers.

Using HTTP to communicate with the camera is a common method, especially for control commands and configuration. However, for video streaming, you might consider other protocols like RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), which is often used with surveillance cameras.

With Regards,
