Can I use OpenCV with ONVIF to retrieve the backfields of any (ONVIF) IP camera remotely?

Is it possible to use OpenCV in combination with ONVIF to remotely retrieve the backfields or video feeds from any ONVIF-compliant IP camera?

Yes, you can use OpenCV in combination with ONVIF to remotely retrieve video feeds from any ONVIF-compliant IP camera. Here’s a general approach to achieve this:

Steps: Retrieve RTSP Stream URL: Use an ONVIF library or tool to discover the RTSP stream URL of the IP camera. This URL is necessary to access the video feed2.

Open RTSP Stream with OpenCV: Use OpenCV’s cv2.VideoCapture to open the RTSP stream and retrieve the video feed.

Process Video Feed: Once the video feed is retrieved, you can process it using OpenCV’s various functions and algorithms.
