Getting Live Video Stream from onvif Devices

Question

im trying to get live stream from onvif devices my program searchs and finds cameras IP and onvif Port successfully,but in the next step to get device information i face this error :

there was no endpoint listening at http://192.168.1.89/onvif/device_service that could accept the message.this often cause by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

i dont know what is wrong with my code even i want to get the time and date from the devices there is the same error! my code is :

  private Device deviceChannel = null;
    private System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding = null;


    private string serverNetworkAddress;
    private string serviceAddress;
    private string serverUsername = "";
    private string serverPassword = "";

     InitializeComponent();

        serverUsername = OnvifUserTextBox.Text;
        serverPassword = OnvifPwdTextBox.Text;
        serverNetworkAddress = serverAddrTextBox.Text;
        serviceAddress = string.Format("http://{0}/onvif/device_service", serverNetworkAddress);

        //Create Binding
        binding = CreateBinding();
     private static System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding CreateBinding()
    {


        HttpTransportBindingElement httpTransport = new HttpTransportBindingElement();

        TransportSecurityBindingElement transportSecurity = new TransportSecurityBindingElement();
        transportSecurity.EndpointSupportingTokenParameters.SignedEncrypted.Add(
            new UsernameTokenParameters());

        transportSecurity.AllowInsecureTransport = true;
        transportSecurity.IncludeTimestamp = false;

        TextMessageEncodingBindingElement me =
            new TextMessageEncodingBindingElement(MessageVersion.Soap12, Encoding.UTF8);

        return new CustomBinding(transportSecurity, me, httpTransport);
    }
   private static TChannel GetChannel<TChannel>       (System.ServiceModel.Channels.Binding binding,
        string serviceAddressText,
        string serverUsername,
        string serverPassword)
    {
        EndpointAddress serviceAddress = new EndpointAddress(serviceAddressText);
        ChannelFactory<TChannel> channelFactory =
            new ChannelFactory<TChannel>(binding, serviceAddress);

        // configure the username credentials on the channel factory 
        UsernameClientCredentials credentials =
            new UsernameClientCredentials(new UsernameInfo(serverUsername, serverPassword));

        // replace ClientCredentials with UsernameClientCredentials
        channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Remove(typeof(ClientCredentials));
        channelFactory.Endpoint.Behaviors.Add(credentials);

        return channelFactory.CreateChannel();
    }
 private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      //getting the device information
        listBox.Items.Clear();
        serverUsername = OnvifUserTextBox.Text;
        serverPassword = OnvifPwdTextBox.Text;
        serverNetworkAddress = serverAddrTextBox.Text;
        serviceAddress = string.Format("http://{0}/onvif/device_service", serverNetworkAddress);

        // string model, firmwareVersion, serialNumber, hardwareId;

        try
        {
            // Create a client with given client endpoint configuration
            deviceChannel =

            GetChannel<Device>(binding, serviceAddress, serverUsername, serverPassword);

            // deviceChannel.GetDeviceInformation= (  out model, out FirmwareVersion, out SerialNumber, out HardwareId);
            //get date and time
            var timemamo = deviceChannel.GetSystemDateAndTime();
            listBox.Items.Add(timemamo);



          var info = deviceChannel.GetDeviceInformation(new GetDeviceInformationRequest());
          //MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Model: {0}", info.Model));

            string strManuf = string.Format("Manufacturer: {0}", info.Manufacturer);
            listBox.Items.Add(strManuf);

            string strModel = string.Format("Model: {0}", info.Model);
            listBox.Items.Add(strModel);
            string strFw = string.Format("Firmware Version: {0}", info.FirmwareVersion);
            listBox.Items.Add(strFw);

            string strSerialNo = string.Format("Serial Number: {0}", info.SerialNumber);
            listBox.Items.Add(strSerialNo);

            string strHwId = string.Format("Hardware Id: {0}", info.HardwareId);
            listBox.Items.Add(strHwId);



        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            string str = string.Format("GetDeviceInformation():mamo " + exception.Message);
            listBox.Items.Add(str);

        }
    }

What are UsernameTokenParameters? It does belong to any .NET Framework library? — rortegax2, Jun 26 '20 at 07:35

Your Onvif device might not listening on the default Port(s). Try to add the correct Port number (the Onvif Port, not the HTTP or RTSP) to the URL, for example: http://192.168.1.89:8182/onvif/device_service

Use 554 port which is a default port for live streaming in onvif

Try to scan all open ports on your IP camera.

For example, in UNIX systems you may use command nmap -p- 192.168.1.89.

Then, try to open the same path for all found ports. In my camera port was far from standard: 8999, which did not appear in the fast scan mode without -p- flag.
