node-red-contrib-tdn-dss 1.0.0

Node-RED node for DSS Pro / DSS Express (OpenAPI) and RPC2 devices: login, keepalive and API calls

npm install node-red-contrib-tdn-dss

node-red-contrib-tdn-dss

Node-RED node for DSS platforms and RPC2 devices:

• Devices (IPC, NVR, XVR, IVSS, VTO, OEM firmware) via the RPC2 API (/RPC2_Login, /RPC2)
• VMS platforms (DSS Pro, DSS Express and other brms-based platforms) via the OpenAPI (/brms/api/v1.0/accounts/authorize, X-Subject-Token)

The node logs in, caches the session, optionally keeps it alive, and makes API calls with it.

Installation

From the Node-RED editor: Menu → Manage palette → Install, search for node-red-contrib-tdn-dss.

Or from the command line:

cd ~/.node-red
npm install node-red-contrib-tdn-dss

Requires Node-RED 2.0+ and Node.js 14+.

Examples

Import from Menu → Import → Examples → node-red-contrib-tdn-dss:

• RPC2 device login and call: login, magicBox calls, logout
• DSS login and call: token login, device page query, logout

Configuration

Usage

msg.action: login | request | keepalive | logout. If omitted, the node sends a request when one is described, otherwise logs in.

Device RPC2 call:

msg.payload = { method: "magicBox.getDeviceType" };
// optional: params, object

VMS OpenAPI call:

msg.method = "POST";                       // default POST
msg.path   = "/brms/api/v1.1/device/page"; // or relative to the API prefix
msg.payload = { pageNum: 1, pageSize: 100 };

Output: msg.payload = response body, msg.session = session/token, msg.statusCode (VMS).

Connection overrides are still accepted on input:

msg.payload = { host: "10.0.0.5", user: "admin", pass: "secret" };

Expired sessions are re-established automatically (one retry per request). The session is logged out on redeploy.
