Every camera operation\u2014hostname retrieval, PTZ control, stream configuration\u2014is awaitable, making it suitable for concurrent camera management in asyncio applications. The package bundles WSDL files so you don't need to download them separately, and it handles WS-Security authentication (with optional digest encryption), clock skew compensation, and NAT URL rewriting for cameras behind port forwards.\n\nYou instantiate an ONVIFCamera with IP, port, and credentials, call update_xaddrs() to discover available services, then invoke operations like devicemgmt.GetHostname() or ptz.GetConfiguration() as async methods. The package exposes every ONVIF operation defined in the bundled WSDLs and lets you create custom services if needed. It depends on aiohttp for transport, zeep for SOAP/WSDL parsing, ciso8601 for fast timestamp parsing, and yarl for URL handling.","worth_installing":"Yes. Active maintenance, low install friction, permissive MIT license, no known vulnerabilities, and a clear async-first design make this a solid choice for Python 3.10+ projects that need ONVIF camera control. Install if you're building asyncio-based camera management or monitoring; skip if you need synchronous I/O or support for Python versions below 3.10."},"id":"onvif-zeep-async","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/onvif-zeep-async","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/onvif-zeep-async.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/onvif-zeep-async/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"onvif-zeep-async","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Async Python Client for ONVIF Camera"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":162416,"position":10604,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.2.1"}
