ONVIF Documentation

Hi all, I own two Reolink cameras, a Reolink Duo 2 PoE and a RLC-520A. Great products, love them.

Anyway, I built a highly complex system with my Mikrotik router and Node-RED to do some pretty cool stuff like geofencing and sending the snapshot of the motion via Pushover directly over my phone when I'm not at home. To do that, I'm using the API (I found the documentation) and the ONVIF, for which I cannot find anything.

From Node-RED, I use the ONVIF to receive the alert when a motion is detected, and on the Reolink Duo, I can even see if it's a person, a car, or a cat! For example, this is the message I get when it detects a person:

{"topic":"RuleEngine/MyRuleDetector/PeopleDetect","time":"2024-01-12T06:57:04.000Z","property":"Initialized","source":{"name":"Source","value":"VideoSourceToken"},"data":{"name":"State","value":true},"_msgid":"a2010f594ed525a9"}

I have noticed several features, such as face detection, and I am interested in learning more about how the ONVIF server operates. Specifically, I would like to know if it follows the motion detection settings on the camera, such as zone exclusion and sensitivity, or if it is independent of them. Having access to documentation would be very helpful as it would allow me to explore even more cool things.

Can I find it somewhere?

Thanks!
