Here is the code for SADPTools python version. Works on any OS with python installed and prettytable

Explanation:

SadpTools work in the way that it sends UDP packet to broadcast address on certain port. That broadcast address and port is listened by devices that run HIK_SERVER and they respond back.

The byte array representation in ASCII string :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Probe><Uuid>74F1ED37-5E82-43E8-9A61-66FCD32926E2</Uuid><Types>inquiry</Types></Probe>

The Uuid can be different.

You can use this code in your integrations with hikvision devices for Device Descovery:

One example c# Disovery BackgroundService:

using System.Net.Sockets;

using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Linq;
