How can I get Events from Hikvision camera to my Typescript project and is there any documentation on the camera's internal API?

I have a project where I need to get events from the Hikvision camera that I've connected on my network, to my Typescript project's code.

The events in question are face detection and alarm triggered by recognized face.

The events then would go through webhook in the code and call corresponding functions to send the information to my front-end application.

I know there is an internal API (actually ISAPI) built into the camera, and I know that there are at least 2 endpoints called:

/ISAPI/Intelligent/

and

/ISAPI/Event/

There surely are lots of different endpoints under there.

However, I can't find any documentation for this API / ISAPI even from Hikvision's product support website.

There 3 PDF-manuals on the product support page and none of them mention API or endpoints.

Are there any documentation of these API endpoints for Hikvision cameras?

This question does not solve my case (I already know how to authenticate)

Solution

Ok, turns out you can setup a webhook on your Express server app and point the camera's http-listening towards the app's webhook endpoint.

The http-listening is done from the camera's internal software that lives at the camera's IP-address.
