AttributeError: 'ONVIFCamera' object has no attribute 'devicemgmt'

I’ve not worked with onvif nor wsdl files before, trying to control a onvif compatible Tonton PTZ camera. Seems I just can’t seem to get any of the object attributes from the camera, any assistance would be greatly appreciated, also, how do I know where in the camera the wsdl file is actually stored as I’m using the default /etc/onvif/wsdl path?

from onvif import ONVIFCamera mycam = ONVIFCamera(‘192.168.1.101’, 80, ‘admin’, ‘admin’, ‘/etc/onvif/wsdl/’) resp = mycam.devicemgmt.GetHostname() print ('My camera`s hostname: ’ + str(resp.Name))

AttributeError: ‘ONVIFCamera’ object has no attribute ‘devicemgmt’

Hi @westpirate , after reading through the issues dozens of times, I tried pasting the above devicemgmt.wsdl file into the following directory -

/home/usr/.virtualenvs/env1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/onvif/wsdl

I think you should be able to get it up and running. The other issues that might arise are already discussed. I could PTZ control my IP cam.

Note: I am using a virtual environment called ‘env1’ on Ubuntu 16.04

Cheers, Abhilash

You can download the ONVIF WSDL files from this page.

For example, try saving devicemgmt.wsdl into a folder named wsdl/ in your project folder: https://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl (right-click > Save Link Target As…)

Then change the '/etc/onvif/wsdl/' parameter in the ONVIFCamera() constructor to 'wsdl' (if your main script is located just above the wsdl/ folder). The code sample should work once you do this.
