## Design Principles

1. **Context-Aware**: All network operations accept `context.Context` for cancellation and timeouts
2. **Type Safety**: Strong typing with comprehensive struct definitions
3. **Error Handling**: Typed errors with clear error messages
4. **Concurrency Safe**: Thread-safe operations with proper locking
5. **Performance**: Connection pooling and efficient HTTP client reuse
6. **Standards Compliant**: Follows ONVIF specifications for SOAP/XML messaging

## Compatibility

- **Go Version**: 1.21+
- **ONVIF Versions**: Compatible with ONVIF Profile S, Profile T, Profile G
- **Tested Cameras**: Works with most ONVIF-compliant IP cameras including:
  - Axis
  - Hikvision
  - Dahua
  - Bosch
  - Hanwha (Samsung)
  - And many others

## Testing

```bash
# Run tests
go test ./...

# Run tests with coverage
go test -cover ./...

# Run tests with race detection
go test -race ./...
```

- [ ] Comprehensive test suite with mock cameras
- [ ] Performance benchmarks
- [ ] CLI tool for camera management

## Debugging Tools

### 🔍 Diagnostic Utility

Comprehensive camera testing and analysis with optional XML capture:

```bash
go build -o onvif-diagnostics ./cmd/onvif-diagnostics/

# Standard diagnostic report
./onvif-diagnostics \
  -endpoint "http://camera-ip/onvif/device_service" \
  -username "admin" \
  -password "pass" \
  -verbose

# With raw SOAP XML capture for debugging
./onvif-diagnostics \
  -endpoint "http://camera-ip/onvif/device_service" \
  -username "admin" \
  -password "pass" \
  -capture-xml \
  -verbose
```

**Generates**:
- `camera-logs/Manufacturer_Model_Firmware_timestamp.json` - Diagnostic report
- `camera-logs/Manufacturer_Model_Firmware_xmlcapture_timestamp.tar.gz` - Raw XML (with `-capture-xml`)

**See**: `XML_DEBUGGING_SOLUTION.md` for complete debugging workflow

### 🧪 Camera Test Framework

Automated regression testing using captured camera responses:

```bash
# 1. Capture from camera
./onvif-diagnostics -endpoint "http://camera/onvif/device_service" \
  -username "user" -password "pass" -capture-xml

# 2. Generate test
go build -o generate-tests ./cmd/generate-tests/
./generate-tests -capture camera-logs/*_xmlcapture_*.tar.gz -output testdata/captures/

# 3. Run tests
go test -v ./testdata/captures/
```

**Benefits**:
- Test without physical cameras
- Prevent regressions across camera models
- Fast CI/CD integration
- Real camera response validation

**See**: `testdata/captures/README.md` for complete testing guide

## 🖥️ CLI Tools

### Interactive CLI Tool

Feature-rich command-line interface for camera management and testing:

```bash
go build -o onvif-cli ./cmd/onvif-cli/

# Start interactive menu
./onvif-cli
```

**Features**:
- 🔍 Discover cameras on network with interface selection
- 🌐 View all network interfaces and their capabilities
- 🔗 Connect to cameras with authentication
- 📱 Get device info, capabilities, and system settings
- 📹 Retrieve media profiles and stream URLs
- 🎮 PTZ control (pan, tilt, zoom, presets)
- 🎨 Imaging settings (brightness, contrast, exposure, etc.)
- 📞 Network interface selection for multi-interface systems

**Usage**:
```
📋 Main Menu:
  1. Discover Cameras on Network
  2. Connect to Camera
  3. Device Operations
  4. Media Operations
  5. PTZ Operations
  6. Imaging Operations
  0. Exit
```

Note: The discovery function now intelligently detects multiple interfaces and shows options only when needed - no separate "List Network Interfaces" menu required.

### Quick Demo Tool

Lightweight tool for quick testing and demonstration:

```bash
go build -o onvif-quick ./cmd/onvif-quick/

# Start interactive menu
./onvif-quick
```

**Features**:
- ⚡ Quick camera discovery
- 🌐 List available network interfaces
- 🔗 Quick connection and camera info
- 🎮 PTZ demo with movement examples
- 📡 Stream URL retrieval

### Network Interface Selection

The CLI intelligently handles network interface selection automatically:
- **Single interface**: Auto-discovery works seamlessly
- **Multiple interfaces**: Shows interfaces only if auto-discovery fails
- **Multiple active interfaces**: Tries each one and aggregates results

For programmatic usage:

```go
opts := &discovery.DiscoverOptions{
    NetworkInterface: "eth0",  // By interface name
    // or
    // NetworkInterface: "192.168.1.100",  // By IP address
}
devices, err := discovery.DiscoverWithOptions(ctx, 5*time.Second, opts)
```

**See**:

- `discovery/NETWORK_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md` - API usage examples
- `DESIGN_REFACTOR.md` - How smart interface detection works
