Figure 8. Harrier IP webpages for camera control
For advanced users, the second tab allows the camera model (e.g. Tamron MP1110) and its video mode
(e.g. 1080p60) to be set. Changing the camera video mode may require the camera to be re-booted; this
can take up to 1 minute.

Getting Started with the ONVIF API
The Harrier IP implements the ONVIF Profile S standard (www.onvif.org). The main services and their
functions are listed below.
•
Media service: allows control of the H.264 encoder settings and the on-screen display (OSD)
features.
•
Device IO service: provides direct communication to the camera serial interface. This enables the
application to communicate with the camera using the VISCA protocol, thus providing full control of
the camera.
•
Imaging service: enables the application to control some of the camera settings (e.g. brightness,
etc.). Only a subset of the camera settings can be controlled this way, but this service enables
ONVIF-compliant third-party software to control some of the camera settings.
•
Device Management service: provides control of the Harrier IP platform (e.g. time and date, etc.).
