IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding

Thanks Matthew, you’re so kindly as always
You’re right, channel was wrong but it was a pubblishing problem as I’d have pubblish this instead to enabling motion

Switch      Batu_CamEnableMotion "MotionAlarm on/off" { channel="ipcamera:HTTPONLY:001:enableMotionAlarm" }

I was tumbling into the thread you suggested but the basic question and the reason why I was not considering as a primary solution is:
So direct motioncontrol via the binding is only for API camera?

Yes only for api cameras right now
Onvif will also use it when/if it gets implemented.

All cameras will at some point get the ffmpeg motion controls which will work separately on two types of motion detection. It uses no cpu when turned off.

Hi, do not know if I’m in the right topic, can someone help me? I have several PTZ YOOSEE cameras, not sure about the brand, but they support RTSP streaming in the following format over VLC: rtsp://login:password@CAMERAIP:554/onvif1

How can I display the image from ipcamera in openhab2’s basicui?

You can do a mjpeg, jpeg, or hls stream, make sure you have your thing defined correctly for server port (i.e. 50001 or a unique number) , ip_whitelist, FFMPEG_OUTPUT, etc.

My snapshot url was different and I had to put in an override for that.

I have had to read the readme on github several times, but i think all the information is there. Its a really good aid.

Text label="Camera Mjpeg Stream" icon="camera" {Video url="http://192.168.x.xxx:50001snapshots.mjpeg" encoding="mjpeg" }
        Text label="jpeg Stream" icon="camera" {Image url="http://192.168.x.xxx:50001/ipcamera.jpg" refresh=2000}
        Text label="HLS Webview Stream" icon="camera"{Webview url="http://192.168.x.xxx:50001/ipcamera.m3u8" height=15}
String FrontEntrywayStreamUrl "Mjpeg Stream" { channel="ipcamera:ONVIF:FrontEntryway:streamUrl" }
String FrontEntryjpeg "jpeg" { channel="ipcamera:ONVIF:FrontEntryway:imageuUrl" }
String FrontEntrywayHlsStreamUrl "HLS Stream" { channel="ipcamera:ONVIF:FrontEntryway:hlsUrl", ga="Camera" [ protocols="hls" ] }

Hi,
is it possible to add V380 camera support? As ONVIF it can’t be added as snapshot URL is not supported (only rtsp stream)
https://github.com/brusdev/V380-SDK

If it has no snapshot then it is not onvif. For RTSP only cameras they work using the http only examples in the readme.

Hi
I have a hikam A7 with onvif. The only thing I want to have is to view the livestream of my camera. Maybe turned on by an external motion detector.
When I try to install ffmpeg via apt install, i get the following:
Package ffmpeg is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ‘ffmpeg’ has no installation candidate

Do I have to do something else?

Hey all,

I have observed a behavior from using snapshots to create GIFs and I am wondering if this is normal behavior. So I am using 2 ONVIF cameras (Reolinks 520’s) and they require a Snapshot_url_override.

This is fine, set up first camera. Everything working as expected. Set up 2nd camera. Different SERVER_PORT. All values in thing definition are unique to each camera as needed. First camera not working to create GIFs now. I check the debug logs and 1s camera no longer generating snapshots at polling interval.

So after some verifying and experimenting, I set the ONVIF_Media_Profile=1 on the 1st camera (It is =0 on 2nd camera) Now both are generating snapshots per the debug log and everything is back to normal.

Is this the expected behavior?

Hi All,
I am using Hikvision 2CD2646G1-IZS cameras and am having trouble getting alerts. In the log I see messages indicating the channel was closed and that the alarm stream was not running, but it appears to correct itself - at least I dont see ongoing problems. The alerts are Smart Events. Access is via CGI - ONVIF is disabled.

I assumed this would create an alert on the following item:

Switch   East_Camera_FieldDetectionAlarm             "Intrusion alarm"   (gCameraEvent)  {channel="ipcamera:HIKVISION:KitchenCam:fieldDetectionAlarm"}

But I see nothing in the events log or openhab log to even suggest that the binding actually received the alert.
Any ideas on what I can do next to troubleshoot?

Kind Regards
Martin

The readme tells you what to do next, hint TRACE logs.

edit:
@hoggm2
I checked the code for bugs or typos and found none, it should work fine with the output you posted. My best guess at this stage is you need to reboot as Openhab has not created the items or the links correctly. It can take 3+ reboots if you have never used the binding before or if you clear the cache and tmp.

Hi Matt,
thanks for what you are doing. Really Openhab newbye over here,
trying to connect to my 3 dahua cameras. I can’t get the snapshot or stream in PaperUI control.
The cameras has ONVIF support:


This link works in vlc: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.108:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

It seems like ip appears twice. Thing configuration seems ok, any idea?
Thanks.

Thanks Matt for taking a look. Before originally posting I had also had a quick look at the code to ensure the XML string was correct. I will reboot a few more times, but it has been done a fair bit already. I thought I already had trace set. And because I wasn’t seeing any trace entries for ipcamera I set trace for the whole system via org.ops4j.pax.logging. Sadly I had not appreciated that settings via the Karaf console are persistent between reboots on my Docker based system, and it was set to debug for ipcamera.

I noticed in the logs that there is frequenly a TRACE response to a GET query, but nothing for the alert stream. I guess that is because it is a stream, but is that normal?

I have had a look at the code for the HikvisionHandler and so far as I can tell (I am far from a practised Java coder) for each EventNotification stanza received, there should be a TRACE message of “HTTP Result back from camera is…”.

But I am seeing nothing. Wireshark seems to confirm no continuous traffic to openhab. On closing openhab, I see that the status is 0 for the alertStream. The documentation indicates that 0 is a stream closing, but my suspicion is that it is already closed.

There is an entry in the logs which indicate that the alertstream is re-starting, but no recorded confirmation of successfull re-start in the logs
.
This is a log from close down to restart. A large number of /picture/ logs have been removed.

I have probably done as much as I can in diagnostics and testing with available logfile information.

Check if the camera has locked you out or if the camera is setup to have a whitelist and openhab is not on the list.

Hi Matt,

The camera seems to have no whitlist/blacklist capability. I also looked for blocked and locked. Looked at google, the manual, and the config interface.

Access seems OK. The GCI API config screen has a section for authorised users and so I tried changing a password. When I re-started OH I got a lot of log messages of “!!! Camera possibly closed the channel …” so I think it suggests access control is working as expected

The cameras I have are all new, professionally installed, and have the latest firmware.

Kind Regards

Martin

Hi everyone, I’m trying to connect my HIKVISION DS-2CD2142FWD-I cameras to openhab.
I saw that I can connect them via Paper UI, but I read that through text configuration it is better.
Could you help me?
I insert my things and items files.

At the moment I have 5 cameras and obviously I try to make the first one work and then repeat the same steps with the others.
I would like to see the thumbnails in Paper UI if possible and then in the sitemap, I’d like to configure all possible features.
I saw that there is a huge work behind it and therefore I would like to thank the author @ matt1
Thanks

Jad

Hi Francesco, I’m not so expert but Matt help me a lot every time I needed
Anyway, your configurations seems to be ok, despite the info I guess you expressely hide (user pass and IP). Better if you pubblish the sitemap also

Please don’t assume they have the latest firmware when they are new, it is very common for cameras to ship before firmware is fully written so it is extremely important to update firmware on new cameras that may have been sitting in warehouses for months with firmware not was not fully finished before shipping.

I don’t understand in your case why you can get the stream output manually in a browser, but you can not get it via the binding and shown in the trace logs. This does not add up, hence why I feel this could be the camera not wanting to talk to X ip address. Try power cycling the camera as that resets the lockout which may have been tripped and keep looking for white lists as my Hikvision cameras have that feature.

Confirm that the binding is using the exact same URL that you are using for the alarm stream.
