nipca v0.2.0
Network IP Camera Application Programming Interface (NIPCA) - Client
A node.js
client to connect to NIPCA, which is a protocol for some Network IP Cameras e.g.: DLINK DCS-8200LH
.
Description
Provides a node.js
client to access NIPCA based IP Cameras. Tested with node.js 10
and DLINK DCS-8200LH
.
Some of the cameras seems to support Basic Authentication
by suppling the credentials by base64(username:password)
. In my case (with the DLINK DCS-8200LH
) this wasn't working, therefore I had to reverse engineer the authentication protocol there.
Install
npm install nipca --save
Usage
This is a code example to show how to use this library.
const Nipca = require("nipca");
const baseUrl = "http://192.168.0.10"; // IP of the camera
const user = "admin"; // User
const password = "753776"; // Pin-Code (backside of the camera)
new Nipca(baseUrl)
.login(user, password)
.then(nipcaClient => {
nipcaClient.fetchInfo().then(res => console.log("fetchInfo:", res));
})
.catch(err => console.error("Error", err));
