My question is about the ONVIF specification. http://www.onvif.org/imwp/download.asp?ContentID=18006 In section 5.10, it says :

A service is a collection of related ports. This specification does not mandate any service naming principles.

Lets say that I have the IP address of an NVT (Network Video Transmitter like an IP camera for example), how do I form the address of the device management web service? This service is the entry point of the whole system.

Thank you.

According to the official document (section 5.1.1), you can access the service at http://<IP address>/onvif/device_service
