IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding

[Mihai_Badea]

My bad, I didn’t bother to explain in detail…
That response from the camera is given as an example and, yes, the motion and audio alarm are enabled in that case.
The problem is that the binding does not update the enableMotionAlarm and enableAudioAlarm when those are updated outside openHAB (e.g. from the camera web-interface and phone app).
As the binding periodically pulls getDevState from the camera I think that the response could be used to updated the alarm channels.

As the binding periodically pulls getDevState from the camera I think that the response could be used to updated the alarm channels.

That is how the binding has done it for a long time. Can you look at the logs to see if the binding actually gets a response from the camera as chad is reporting a similar bug which I am looking into only the logs show no response before the connection gets closed.

Hello to All,

Is it possible to add fro Hikvision Alarm output trigering?

Here’s some lines from the TRACE log:

As I saw the response HTTP/1.1 200 OK I thought that you don’t log anymore the actual response form the camera…

[matt1 (Skinah)]

New build 28-06-2018 has following changes:

• Bug fix for all brands of cameras.
• Foscam possible fix for missing messages.

@Mihai_Badea
@chaderick9
I was able to reproduce missing messages and this build has a fix in it. All messages should be seen in TRACE logging so if it is missing then there is still an issue.

@Kristo

Is it possible to add fro Hikvision Alarm output trigering?

Sure, take a look at the API and if it is possible test it out with a browser and if you work out what needs to be added just post a message and I can take a look.

@Mohammad_Chaaban

guys, how u r getting the jar file from latest build of this binding?

The link to where it can be downloaded is found in the first post of this thread, it is zipped.

IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding

This binding is now merged into openHAB 2.5.9 and newer. See below for more details on what each brand of camera has working as often choosing the right camera will save you from needing to purchase an extra video server (both the cost to purchase the server, plus the ongoing electricity costs) to process the video feeds. Features for Generic cameras with only RTSP (no snapshot url): Snapshots (jpg) can be created from RTSP with low CPU overhead but requires non stop network traffic to keep …

Version 2.3.0.201806281013 displays the response from the camera:

As you can see from the camera’s response, they are enabled…

OK we got closer, I just uploaded another build marked take2 this one should work since the log showed the full reply.

[Mihai_Badea]

take2 appears to be working all right.
enableMotionAlarm and enableAudioAlarm get updated properly from the camera(s).
Also the motionAlarm is working as expected.
Can’t test right now the audio part, but I suppose it will work OK.

YOU ROCK!

Thanks so much for your work on this!

Hello,

i’m not sure that onvif is off by default in all hikvision cam. Onvif deice menager is connecting with cam without any issue.

I have Hikvision with previouse firmware 5.45 (newest 5.5 is not avalible for this cam model) and such option is not existing.

but any way i have some issue.

In Paper IU image and motion status are working but Basic UI (.sitemap) is not showing any picture.

Do you know what can be the reason ?

[Kristo]

OK issue resolved
.items
Image ipcamera_2 {channel=“ipcamera:HIKVISION:73141ac9:image”}
.sitemap
Default item=ipcamera_2

[toroid (Sergey)]

@Kristo ONVIF in binding for hik cameras is only used for PTZ control.
If you have a camera that does not have ptz (absolute) then onvif on the camera can be turned off and everything will work.
Binding uses the hikvision api
I can not binding on onvif and when it is enabled on the camera no pictures.
As soon as ONVIF turn off the picture appears.

[Kristo]

@toroid
Thanks for explanation, i just checked if picture with my settings will disappears when Onvif device manage will make life streaming but it’s working parallel

[DrVanSteiner (Martin Engelhard)]

With the new version motiondetection also works on foscam FI9831W !

[TexasGreg (Greg)]

From what I tell in this thread everyone is having problems getting cameras integrated with Openhab. I’ve given up getting my 4 + year old Hikvision cameras to work because I can’t upgrade the firmware. Can anyone recommend a camera that they know works well with Openhab?

[Kristo]

@TexasGreg

Which firmware you have in those cams?

[matt1 (Skinah)]

@Kristo

Can you send me the output of this please? My camera does not have those outputs so I can not test myself.

 http://192.168.2.64/ISAPI/System/IO/outputs/101

Also you dont need to disable ONVIF as you found it works either way, but if you don’t have PTZ features on your camera then give the binding the wrong port number and it will connect faster, I do this when I am developing and testing the http code.

@TexasGreg
Sorry I cant comment on what other peoples experiences are and I have never tried getting cameras running any other ways other than this binding. Forums are usually full of people asking for help, and the people that are working simply do not post as they have a working setup… See the first post of this thread for the cameras that I use and test each build with and a number of users have posted models in this thread. If you do buy new cameras than please make sure it can have it’s firmware updated, security flaws are found from time to time and you will want to get those as well as any bug fixes.
