## Running the Application
### HIKVision Events
HIKVision events are expected in XML format according to the HIKVision alarm server protocol:
### Directly
```bash
go mod tidy
go build
./vivotek-nvr-api
```
### Using Docker
```bash
# Build the Docker image
docker build -t vivotek-nvr-api .
# Run the container
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ./config.json:/app/config.json -v ./logs:/app/logs vivotek-nvr-api
```
## Configuring Vivotek NVR
To configure your Vivotek NVR to send events to this API:
1. Access your NVR's web interface
2. Navigate to Configuration > Event > HTTP Notification
3. Enable HTTP notifications
4. Set the URL to `http://your-server-ip:8080/event`
5. Set the authentication method if you've configured it in the API
6. Select the events you want to be notified about
7. Save the configuration
## Extending the API
To handle additional event types, modify the `processEvent` function in the main Go file and add appropriate handler functions.
## Setting Up Telegram Notifications
1. Create a Telegram bot:
- Start a chat with [@BotFather](https://t.me/botfather) on Telegram
- Send the command `/newbot` and follow the instructions
- Once created, BotFather will provide a token - copy this to your config file
2. Get your chat ID:
- Option 1: Start a chat with your bot and send a message to it
- Option 2: Send a message to [@userinfobot](https://t.me/userinfobot) to get your chat ID
- Option 3: For group chats, add [@RawDataBot](https://t.me/RawDataBot) to your group briefly
3. Update your config file:
- Set `telegram_enabled` to `true`
- Add your bot token to `telegram_token`
- Add your chat ID to `telegram_chat_id`
4. Test the configuration:
- Start the API server
- Trigger an event from your Vivotek NVR
- You should receive a formatted message in your Telegram chat
