How to get videostream of a Doorbird camera in OH?

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

I am using OH on a windows server with the version 5.1.4. I do have the doorbird doorstation D1101V-F which has an app where I can enable an external videostream service (NVR) which receives either H.264 or MJPEG.

Which binding I need to use to receive the video stream of this doorbird camera? The problem with the doorbird binding is, that the video framerate is very poor with 1-2s.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

IP camera binding has a doorbird integration. And the documentation page mentions how to have a video widget.

And you can also use a dedicated NVR like Frigate if you want advanced features. Frigate handles doorbird devices, and there is a Frigate binding on the marketplace.

Alternatively, if you run a CCTV app such as Zoneminder, you can feed the Doorbird video stream directly into Zoneminder so it shows up in Zoneminder as just another camera. I have my Zoneminder set up to continuously record the Doorbird stream so I never miss anything that happens at the front door.

Hello

thanks for your replies.

@GwendalGwendal: Could you explain what you mean with “IP camera binding has a doorbird integration”?

Do you refer to the doorbird binding or the IP-camera binding? I try to use the doorbird binding but it does not use a real live stream with only very poor fps.

Do you use frigate on a windows system?

@Mark: do you use Zoneminder on windows system?

Actually I only need the live stream, no recording, no image processing, either as a H.264 or mjpeg stream.

Thanks

I believe he means that the IP camera binding can receive the video stream from the Doorbird device.

I run it on the same Linux host that I run openHAB.

Yeah, then Zoneminder is overkill for your needs.

Yes, as Mark said, the IP Camera binding can get video from a doorbird device.
It even has a “doorbird” thing type.
