Camera identification method and device

The invention provides a camera identification method and device, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining the address information of a terminal, inserted into network equipment, carried in a UP event when the UP event of the network equipment is received; sending a universal protocol message used for communicating with a camera to an inserted terminal according to the address information; if the response information of the terminal is received, judging that the terminal is a camera; and reporting the information that the terminal is the camera to a management server. According to the camera identification method, a manual scanning mode of an administrator is not adopted any more, the camera can be sensed in time when the camera is accessed and reported to the management server, and therefore the subsequent management server can manage the camera of a dummy terminal type conveniently. 本说明书提供一种摄像头识别方法及装置，所述方法包括：接收网络设备的接口UP事件时，获取该UP事件中携带的插入所述网络设备的终端的地址信息；根据所述地址信息向插入的终端发送与摄像头通信使用的通用协议报文；若接收到所述终端的响应信息，则判断所述终
