Which protocol is used for cross-brand access of traffic equipment? Unified HTTP API integration.
When migrating customer traffic devices from various brands to a third-party platform, all connections must be established via HTTP API. This document outlines the integration methods and device compatibility requirements for the HTTP API.
1Can客流 devices from different brands be integrated into the same platform?
Yes, provided the device or vendor platform exposes an HTTP API. Major brands such as Hikvision, Dahua, Uniview, and Huawei all offer open HTTP/HTTPS APIs for device registration, authentication, data subscription, and result reporting. This is the primary integration method used during equipment migration across these vendors.
2Solution: Platform-side adaptation layer
The platform enables device onboarding, authentication, and retrieval of structured data (footfall counts, license plate results, and alert events) via HTTP API. As the sole access method, HTTP API handles device registration, authentication, data subscription, and count result reporting, absorbing all migration efforts. Note: The platform supports only select hardware brands with footfall capabilities; standard cameras are not supported.
3Data validation: Perform a protocol self-check before integration
Enable the open API on the device or vendor platform first, confirm the HTTP port, AppKey, and account permissions. Then use the platform's self-test tool to select a brand and model; you'll get an access support result within 1 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
ONVIF primarily handles device discovery and video streaming interoperability, while RTSP only transmits raw video. Passenger flow analytics require structured data such as counts, events, and alerts, which can only be accessed via vendor-specific HTTP APIs. Therefore, the platform supports only HTTP API integration and does not support ONVIF or RTSP.
