node-dahua-api

NodeJS Module for communication with Dahua IP Cameras..

Status: Work in Progress

Example:

#!/usr/bin/nodejs
var     ipcamera    = require('node-dahua-api');

// Options:
var options = {
    host    : '192.168.1.100',
    port     : '80',
    user     : 'admin',
    pass     : 'password123',
    log     : false,
};

var dahua     = new ipcamera.dahua(options);

// Switch to Day Profile
dahua.nightProfile()

// PTZ Go to preset 10
dahua.ptzPreset(10)

// Monitor Camera Alarms
dahua.on('alarm', function(code,action,index) {
    if (code === 'VideoMotion' && action === 'Start')    console.log('Video Motion Detected')
    if (code === 'VideoMotion' && action === 'Stop')    console.log('Video Motion Ended')
    if (code === 'AlarmLocal' && action === 'Start')    console.log('Local Alarm Triggered: ' + index)
    if (code === 'AlarmLocal' && action === 'Stop')        console.log('Local Alarm Ended: ' + index)
    if (code === 'VideoLoss' && action === 'Start')        console.log('Video Lost!')
    if (code === 'VideoLoss' && action === 'Stop')        console.log('Video Found!')
    if (code === 'VideoBlind' && action === 'Start')    console.log('Video Blind!')
    if (code === 'VideoBlind' && action === 'Stop')        console.log('Video Unblind!')
});

Functions:

// Switch Camera to Night Profile
dahua.dayProfile()

// Switch Camera to Night Profile
dahua.nightProfile()

// Issue Dahua RAW PTZ Command (See API Manual in GitHub Wiki)
dahua.ptzCommand(cmd,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4)

// Go To Preset
dahua.ptzPreset(int)

// PTZ Zoom, input level: positive = zoom in / negative = zoom out
dahua.ptzZoom(float)

// PTZ Move
// Directions = Up/Down/Left/Right/LeftUp/RightUp/LeftDown/RightDown
// Actions = start/stop
// Speed = 1-8
dahua.ptzMove(direction,action,speed)

// Request current PTZ Status
dahua.ptzStatus()

// Callback for any Alarm (Motion Detection/Video Loss & Blank/Alarm Inputs)
dahua.on('alarm', function(code,action,index){  });

// Callback for PTZ Status
dahua.on('ptzStatus', function(data){  });

// Callback on connect
dahua.on('connect', function(){  });

// Callback on error
dahua.on('error', function(error){  });
