## Implementation Principle

The monitoring is implemented by accessing the Hikvision device's ISAPI interface:

1. Collect system information through: `/ISAPI/System/deviceInfo`

2. Collect device status through: `/ISAPI/System/status`

It uses HTTP protocol with Digest Authentication to access the interfaces and parses XML response data to extract monitoring metrics.
