Hikvision enable ISAPI

[NoFate]

Hi

to enable specific ISAPI API features, is this default enabled on Intercom/Hikvison products?

i have read somewhere before, cant find source atm, but to use ISAPI , we need to enable it with custom firmware?

anyone familar with this?

thnx in advance

I know this is old but I just searched here for the same answer and could not find it. So in case anyone else does a search in future...

It's because ISAPI is not something you actually enable/disable. But if like me you were trying to sending ISAPI requests using a plain URL or Curl tool with the user/password in the URL then you need to do the following on the camera to allow it to work:

System -> Security -> Authentication
Set WEB Authentication to "digest/basic"

I have since discovered digest authentication using Curl like this which I think will work without changing the authentication method (e.g. with WEB Authentication method set to "digest"):

curl --digest -u "admin:assword" ....other curl commands/options here...
