└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Security Recommendations:

• ✅ Best Practice: Use environment variables, completely avoid config file reading
• ✅ Isolated Config: Store Ezviz credentials in dedicated config file, don't mix with other services
• ⚠️ Risk Mitigation: Set environment variables to override config files (will be ignored even if config exists)

Quick Secure Configuration

# 1. Use environment variables (highest priority, avoids accidental config file use)
export EZVIZ_APP_KEY="your_dedicated_app_key"
export EZVIZ_APP_SECRET="your_dedicated_app_secret"
export EZVIZ_DEVICE_SERIAL="BF6985110"

# 2. High security: Disable token caching
export EZVIZ_TOKEN_CACHE=0

# 3. Test credentials (recommended to use test account first)
# Login to https://openai.ys7.com/ to create dedicated app with only preview permissions

Quick Start

Install Dependencies

pip install requests

Set Environment Variables

export EZVIZ_APP_KEY="your_app_key"
export EZVIZ_APP_SECRET="your_app_secret"
export EZVIZ_DEVICE_SERIAL="BF6985110"

Optional environment variables:

export EZVIZ_CHANNEL_NO="1"     # Channel number, default 1
export EZVIZ_TOKEN_CACHE="1"    # Token cache: 1=enabled (default), 0=disabled

Run

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_preview.py

Command line arguments:

# Single device
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_preview.py appKey appSecret BF6985110 1

# Specify channel number
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/generate_preview.py appKey appSecret BF6985110 1

Channels Configuration (Recommended)

Skill supports automatically reading Ezviz credentials from OpenClaw channels configuration.

Configuration

Add to ~/.openclaw/config.json or ~/.openclaw/channels.json:

{
  "channels": {
    "ezviz": {
      "appId": "your_app_id",
      "appSecret": "your_app_secret",
      "domain": "https://openai.ys7.com",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Priority

Credential priority:

1. Environment Variables (Highest)
2. Channels Config (Medium)
3. Command Line Arguments (Lowest)

Workflow

1. Get Token (appKey + appSecret → accessToken)
 ↓
2. Generate Links (accessToken + deviceSerial → preview/playback URLs)
 ↓
3. Output Results (PC + Mobile links for live and playback)

Token Auto-Get Explanation

You don't need to manually get or configure EZVIZ_ACCESS_TOKEN!

Skill automatically handles token acquisition and caching:

First Run:
 appKey + appSecret → Call Ezviz API → Get accessToken (7 days validity)
 ↓
Save to cache file (system temp directory)
 ↓
Subsequent Runs:
 Check if cached token is expired
 ├─ Not expired → Use cached token directly ✅
 └─ Expired → Get new token

Token Management Features:

• ✅ Auto Get: Automatically call Ezviz API on first run
• ✅ 7 Days Validity: Token valid for 7 days
• ✅ Smart Caching: Don't re-get within validity period
• ✅ Safety Buffer: Auto-refresh 5 minutes before expiry
• ✅ No Config Needed: No need to manually set EZVIZ_ACCESS_TOKEN
• ✅ Secure Storage: Cache file permissions 600

Link Format

Link Explanation:

• .live — Live streaming
• .rec — Recording playback

API Interface

Network Endpoints

Notes

⚠️ Token Validity: accessToken typically valid for 7 days, skill auto-manages caching and refresh

⚠️ Privacy Compliance: Camera monitoring may involve privacy issues, ensure compliance with local laws

⚠️ Device Requirements: Device must be online to generate valid links

Data Flow Explanation

This skill sends data to third-party services:

Data Flow:

• ✅ Ezviz Platform (openai.ys7.com): Token request - Official Ezviz API
• ❌ No Other Third Parties: No data sent to other services
• ❌ Preview Links: Only generates URLs, no video stream data transmitted

Credential Permission Recommendations:

• Use minimal permission appKey/appSecret
• Enable only necessary API permissions
• Rotate credentials regularly
• Do not use master account credentials

Local Processing:

• ✅ Token cached to system temp directory, permissions 600
• ✅ Token valid for 7 days, auto-refresh 5 minutes before expiry
• ✅ Can disable cache: Set EZVIZ_TOKEN_CACHE=0 environment variable

Usage Examples

Scenario 1: Single Device Preview

python3 generate_preview.py your_key your_secret BF6985110

Scenario 2: Specify Channel

python3 generate_preview.py your_key your_secret BF6985110 1

Scenario 3: Environment Variables

export EZVIZ_APP_KEY="your_key"
export EZVIZ_APP_SECRET="your_secret"
export EZVIZ_DEVICE_SERIAL="BF6985110"
python3 generate_preview.py

🔐 Token Management & Security

Token Caching Behavior

Default Behavior:

• ✅ Token cached to system temp directory (/tmp/ezviz_global_token_cache/)
• ✅ Cache valid for 7 days
• ✅ Auto-refresh 5 minutes before expiry
• ✅ Cache file permissions 600
• ⚠️ Note: Cache is shared across all skills using this token manager

Security Considerations

Disable Token Caching (High Security)

export EZVIZ_TOKEN_CACHE=0
python3 scripts/generate_preview.py ...

Cache File Location

Clear Cache:

rm -rf /tmp/ezviz_global_token_cache/

🔒 Security Recommendations

1. Use Minimal Permission Credentials

• Create dedicated appKey/appSecret
• Do not use master account credentials
• Rotate credentials regularly (recommended every 90 days)

2. Environment Variable Security

# Use .env file
echo "EZVIZ_APP_KEY=your_key" >> .env
echo "EZVIZ_APP_SECRET=your_secret" >> .env
chmod 600 .env
source .env

3. Disable Caching (High Security Scenarios)

export EZVIZ_TOKEN_CACHE=0

4. Isolated Environment (Recommended)

• Run in container/VM for stricter isolation
• Use dedicated user account with restricted temp directory access
• Review lib/token_manager.py to understand cache behavior

5. Config File Security

• Ensure ~/.openclaw/*.json files don't contain unrelated secrets
• Prefer environment variables to avoid config file reading entirely
