ONVIF Python 
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products, including network cameras, video recorders, and related systems.
Behind the scenes, ONVIF communication relies on SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol); an XML-based messaging protocol with strict schema definitions (WSDL and XSD). SOAP ensures interoperability, but when used directly it can be verbose, complex, and error-prone.
This library simplifies that process by wrapping SOAP communication into a clean, Pythonic API. You no longer need to handle low-level XML parsing, namespaces, or security tokens manually; the library takes care of it, letting you focus on building functionality.
