Node package for automating Dahua :tm: camera initialization

This package provides an automatic way to initialize Dahua :tm: cameras via Puppeteer.

Usage

Installation

npm i dahua_initilizer

Usage

const dahuaInitializer = require('dahua_initializer')

dahuaInitializer.initialize(option, camera_config)

Option parameter

screenshots: default false

path: default '' (if !screenshots the field is ignored)

headless: default true

camera_config parameter

The camera_config field is a json object of the following form:

Camera initialization usually has various configuration screens:

    {
    	"ip": "192.168.1.108",
	"port": 80,
        "screens": [
            Object,
            Object
        ]
    }

ip defaults to 192.168.1.108 and port to 80.

Screen object is an array of actions:

    [
	{
	    "action": "click",
	    "selector": "#elementID"
        },
        {
	    "action": "fill",
	    "selector": "#elementID",
	    "text": "HelloWorld"
        },
        {
	    "action": "keypress",
	    "selector": "#elementID",
	    "key": "Enter"
	},
	{
	    "action": "delay",
	    "time": 200
	}
    ]

action: Will be performed sequentially. (Note! Before any forwarding to the next dialog complete all your actions.)

• click: Simulate a mouse click event on the element
• fill: This action expects text field. (Note! Generally, input element need to be clicked before filling.)
• keypress: This action expects key field. At the present we only support Enter. (See Puppeteer docs. If you want to extend it :wink:)
• delay: This action expects time field. Some fields need some time after the action is performed, for example the time synchronization. (time in ms).
