Additionally, the live video preview in ODM may be blank. This is a known graphics rendering issue. For video probing, rely on the “Media 2” tab or “Replay” button rather than the live view.

For a decade, Mac users have relied on (Wine Is Not an Emulator) to run lightweight Windows apps like ODM. Here is the updated process for macOS Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia.

curl -X POST http://192.168.1.100/onvif/device_service -d @get_device_info.xml -H "Content-Type: application/soap+xml"

The app should find cameras on the local network automatically.

If you have an M1/M2/M3 Mac, you can run the iPad app directly (from the Mac App Store). It is a polished, touch-friendly ONVIF client that discovers cameras and displays streams beautifully. It cannot, however, configure network settings (like changing a camera’s static IP), which is ODM’s primary strength.
