dahua-camera-ptz

This is a simple PHP implementation of Dahua IP Cam HTTP API.

Impelements both Basic and Digest auth, this script should be able to handle both new and old firmware, and 3rd Party branded Dahua cameras.

Config

The script requires these configs:

• user: Username for ipCam
• pass: password for ipCam
• cam_list: a list of the ip cameras.
• basic_auth_list: a list of ip cameras that requires Basic Auth

Arguments

This script takes the following querystrings:

• c : camera number specified in cam_list
• a : API_CALL you wish to execute. See Dahua HTTP API documentation for example
• p : ptz preset. If this is specified, the script ignores the API Call you set in 'a', and will execute PTZ - GotoPreset.
• d : debug flag. set to 1 to view the full header info.

Example

After the configuration, you can save the script on a web host with PHP enabled, and call the script like this:

http://HOSTNAME/SCRIPTNAME.php?c=CAM_NUMBER&a=API_CALL_NAME

For instance, this gives you the General Config of the camera 1:

http://HOSTNAME/SCRIPTNAME.php?c=1&a=GetGeneralConfig

There is also a shortcut for GotoPreset for PTZ ( which is my most used function ), you can:

http://HOSTNAME/SCRIPTNAME.php?c=CAM_NUMBER&p=PRESET_NUMBER

Meaning this will set camera no.2 to PTZ preset 4

http://HOSTNAME/SCRIPTNAME.php?c=2&p=4

License

As you can see in the script, I have not implement any of the config setting API calls or user actions for security reason. If you wish to use those, it should be relatively easy to implement.
