events not working

I tried with node 6.10, 8.0, 8.1. I’m not sure if it’s related to camera (some clone from china), since I can see events in its manager (some internet explorer activex plugin), but… if someone else also has this problem, then there might be something here to explore…

var CAMERA_HOST = '192.168.1.10',
    USERNAME = 'admin',
    PASSWORD = '',
    PORT = 8899;

var http = require('http'),
    Cam = require('onvif').Cam;

new Cam({
    hostname: CAMERA_HOST,
    username: USERNAME,
    password: PASSWORD,
    port: PORT
}, function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.log('Connection Failed');
        return;
    }
    console.log('CONNECTED');   
    this.on('event', function(camMessage) { console.log(camMessage) });

});

Error: You should create pull-point subscription first! at Cam.pullMessages (/home/mm/Downloads/tempp/node_modules/onvif/lib/events.js:137:9) at Cam._eventPull (/home/mm/Downloads/tempp/node_modules/onvif/lib/events.js:196:8) at Cam.<anonymous> (/home/mm/Downloads/tempp/node_modules/onvif/lib/events.js💯12) at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/home/mm/Downloads/tempp/node_modules/onvif/lib/cam.js:225:4) at emitOne (events.js:115:13) at ClientRequest.emit (events.js:210:7) at Socket.socketOnEnd (_http_client.js:435:9) at emitNone (events.js:110:20) at Socket.emit (events.js:207:7) at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:1045:12)

– and when I remove require (‘http’) (wich should not be a problem), then error changes to:

@bartbutenaers I’m afraid I didn’t. Had to move on with some other projects, so this was left on the “someday” list 😃 Sorry…

I have rewritten parts of the events code and it works nicely with Hikvision and Axis equipment. The new code handles the missing wsa:To field in the XML and subscribes to the pull point first. Example6.js gives a simple demo.

So I will close this issue report as we have now code for events. Please raise a new report if you still have problems. Thanks
