Discovery is used to discover ONVIF devices within the network. Remote discovery is not supported and is also deprecated in the latest ONVIF Specification from 12 December 2019.

The discovery could be started with or without a timeout. A default timeout of 60 seconds is applied even if the operation start (without timeout) is executed. This default timeout is configured via a system property. Please refer to the ONVIF System Properties for more information.

The discovery could be stopped at any point with the operation stop. The list of discovered devices is auto-filled with newly discovered devices if the discovery is started multiple times. The list of discovered devices could be cleared with the operation clearResult.
