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!')
});
// Find Files
var query = {
'channel': '0',
'startTime': '2018-5-9 09:00:00',
'endTime': '2018-5-9 12:00:00',
'types': ['jpg','dav'], // [ “dav”, “jpg”, “mp4” ]
'count': 10 // max. 100
};
dahua.findFiles(query);
dahua.on('filesFound',function(data){
console.log('filesFound:', data);
});
// Save File
var fileMeta = {

EndTime: '2018-05-19 10:45:00',
FilePath: '/mnt/sd/2018-05-19/001/dav/10/10.36.45-10.45.00[R][0@0][0].dav',
StartTime: '2018-05-19 10:36:45',
Type: 'dav'
};
dahua.saveFile(fileMeta);
dahua.on('saveFile',function( msg ){
console.log('File saved!');
});
// Get a snapshot
dahua.getSnapshot();
dahua.on('getSnapshot',function( msg ){

});
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()
// Find files
var query = {
'channel': '0',
'startTime': '2018-5-9 09:00:00',
'endTime': '2018-5-9 12:00:00',
'types': ['jpg','dav'], // [ “dav”, “jpg”, “mp4” ] - optional
'count': 10 // max. 100 - optional
};
dahua.findFiles(query)
// Callback for file search results
dahua.on('filesFound',function(data){
console.log('filesFound:', data);
});
// Save file
// requires a the following options for filename creation
// attributes equal findFile results object structure
var fileMeta = {
Channel: '0',
EndTime: '2018-05-19 10:45:00',
FilePath: '/mnt/sd/2018-05-19/001/dav/10/10.36.45-10.45.00[R][0@0][0].dav',
StartTime: '2018-05-19 10:36:45',
Type: 'dav'
};
dahua.saveFile(fileMeta);
// Callback for file saved
dahua.on('saveFile',function( msg ){
console.log('File saved!');
});
// Get a snapshot
var options = {
'path': 'snaps', // optinal, where to save the file
'channel':'', // optional, defaults to 0,
'filename' : '', // optional, defaults to [HOST]_ch[channel]_[TIMESTAMP]
};
dahua.getSnapshot();
dahua.on('getSnapshot',function( msg ){
console.log(msg);
});
// 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){ });
