IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding

Add-ons Bindings
, ,
2999

I have connected a Reolink E1 Outdoor Pro PTZ camera via the IPCamera Binding. This works without any problems.
I have switched my Openhab installation to HTTPS. To display connected HTTP content in the HTTPS web browser, I have set up the Nginx reverse proxy. This works perfectly for Grafana widgets. The reverse proxy also successfully points to the local IP of the Reolink camera with HTTPS and I get the self-signed certificate displayed.

Unfortunately, I am not able to point the HTTP stream and the onfiv port via the reverse proxy. Do I have to create two separate nginx sites-available server entries for HTTP stream and onvif port?
As soon as I change the IP address in the thing configuration to that of the Openhab host and the HHTP and Onvif port to the nginx ports, the camera thing goes offline.

Has anyone ever implemented something similar and has a rough plan for me on what to do?

What is your goal?
if you want to see the openHAB stream of the camera in a mainui widget or sitemap you can use

/ipcamera/xxxxx/autofps.mjpeg

This works with http and https

Hi,
I use the ā€œCamera: Live feed with PTZ controlsā€ UI widget. For PTZ control, the Onvif Port 8000 is important fĆ¼r me

3002

It does not need port 8000 as the binding does that locally and directly. Use the relative url in the reply above as suggested and it will work for both http and https. Ptz will still work as it uses channels and items to send the controls back to openhab and the binding.

Hi!
The ipcamera binding is raising the following error since I installed it, even after installing the snapshot 4.3.0.202410271146 :

The only change I made was to try enabling hardware acceleration with parameter -hwaccel in ā€˜FFmpeg Input Optionsā€™. But I reverted back to default and cleared that parameter that freezes the stream.

I attached a debug log. The error raises directly when starting the binding.
I wait for your ideas to fix / instructions to investigate as I am not specialist enough to troubleshoot this :-/

Dear all, after updating top Openhab 4.3.5 i do have a problem with my INSTAR IN9008. The stream in openhab keeps flickering (picture, white screen, picture, white screen, etc).
In the INSTAR webUI its perfectly fine.

In the log i am getting these messages:

Can someone help :frowning:

Heyā€¦ Maybe try a snapshot version of the binding?
greets

Hi,
I got this message when trying to control IR LED for a Reolink RLC-810A camera.

 URL /api.cgi?cmd=SetIrLights is not handled currently by the binding, please report this message
3007

I am getting this message repeatedly at DEBUG level in the log:

 The alarm stream was not running for Reolink camera 192.168.X.XX, re-starting it now

I added the same camera as a generic ONVIF for testing purpose and I get the same message but at INFO level, which suggest there is some issue with my camera setting.

Any idea of what stream ipcamera is expecting and why at this point?

3008

I have this because of weak wifi connectionā€¦

I think the onvif connection disconnects and the binding restart the onvif connection

Thanks for reporting this, will look into it as that is all the info that is neededā€¦ I suspect you have older firmware and updating it may solve it. The second issue I will need some time to look into this over the next few days.

It is the stream that gives the alarms/movement alerts. Tick the show advanced box when looking at the thing settings. ONVIF event method, try using one of the other types or auto to see if that fixes it. This option only shows up in the newer 4.3 and 5.x builds. If it is only happening when the camera drops off the wifi, then that is normal and to be expected, you should get some more access points for your wifi. Best to go with wifi6 or wifi7 ones to allow smoother roaming.

@sl4m What firmware version is in the INSTAR IN9008? I have one of those cameras and it is running 3.5.0 firmware and working fine.

This does not make sense. If setup as an INSTAR thing type it uses the instar method for event methods and not ONVIF. Does deleting and re-adding the thing solve it?

Thanks for the quick answer!
Firmwares are up to date. I am running RLC-810A, RLC-420 and an older RLC-410 camera and they are all wired/POE (I do not trust wireless for security stuff :slight_smile: ) I disabled all cameras except the RLC-810A as I am fighting to catch correct human detection reporting and would love to have full control over IR LEDs (to match false motion alarm which occur at LED ON/OFF on older cameras).

I restarted the cams, openHAB and cleared the tmp / cache folder and not getting the issues by now (also had a HTTP400 Bad request error).

By the way, 2 improvements I suggest for the future:

  1. List item in the debug/trace logs, it would be nice to print the camera ip which raises the log entry.
  2. In the documentation, an sample code example with the FULL list of channels available (and the corresponding sitemap) would be a +, considering the number of channels available for a camera thing :slight_smile:

Hello all,

I have tried my best to integrate an Annke N46PCK NVR with the Ipcam binding and did not accomplish much.
I have tried both Hikvision with API and ONVIF without any success.

For Hikvision with API (Annke uses nearly identical UI) I had initially set the NVR on digest/basic authentication and enabled Virtual Host to expose the individual camera ports. The NVR firmware has ISAPI prechecked but no ONVIF option. According to the Tech Support it is enabled by default with same credentials as NVR login. I believe it defaults at port 80. As a test I enabled ONVIF on one of the cameras and used that particular cameraā€™s channel and port in the Thing configuration (tried both file and UI config). I had previously created a ONVIF user/ password to mirror camera login as Administrator. Also disabled the function to lock camera after multiple erroneous loggins.

[
    ipAddress="192.168.x.x",
    username="user",
    password="xxxxxxxxx",
    onvifPort=80, //normally 80 check what it needs
    port=65011,
    nvrChannel=11
]
your code goes here

Thing appears ONLINE

restart the camera to see if it was the illegal login that has locked the camera, but check your user and password is correct first.

Hi Matt,
Thx much for the reply! Reset the camera, disabled password lock, reset password just to make sure. No success.
Found out that while connecting the camera to the POE port of the NVR, no ONVIF connection to camera, due to the internal address assigned by NVR, despite the exposed port through Virtual Host.
I was then hoping to access the NVR rather than individual camera, and get alerts. Noticed thatsome of the ISAPI commands would work, since the NVR UI mentions ISAPI enabled. Maybe Annke does not offer identical ISAPI capabilities as Hikvision. This is what i was able to extract from NVR:

```In the end I was mostly interested in the alarm notifications from the NVR since they appear to be faster and did not want to rely on connecting to the Annke platform. Please let me know if there is anything abnormal with this configuration. Much appreciated!

Does it work if the camera is not behind the Nvr? You can connect cameras to any poe switch and then the camera can be seen by the nvr via the Lan port of the nvr. Note that the nvr IP needs to be the same subnet as the camera. The other cameras on the nvr switch ports will be different IP adresss ranges.

Hi Matt,

The camera works as expected through ONVIF when not behind the NVR. I just opted against another POE switch since the NVR offered POE to begin with. In the end, I may have to choose that option, if I cannot query the NVR directly for the alerts Iā€™m interested in.
The binding with HIKVISION API config returns some alerts but Iā€™m also getting the following:

[g.ipcamera.internal.HikvisionHandler] - HTTP Result from /ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream contains 	:--boundary
Content-Type: application/xml; charset="UTF-8"

:

This appears to repeat every 5 sec. Interestingly, all the cameras function well without any video loss. Iā€™ve disabled the binding for now. Did not want to overload logsā€¦Any thoughts why this would happen?

3017

That is normal. A inactive video loss alarm is how the camera says the stream is still alive and working. Refer to the documentation for hik api.

Great, thank you much!
