IpCamera: New IP Camera Binding

Is there a way with the FF GIF override string to export both the GIF and individual snapshots?

matt1 · August 1, 2020, 8:41pm

I don’t know you would need to read the ffmpeg options on their website. You can do it easily by setting the preroll and that is explained In the readme under section on snapshot methods.

msexton187 · August 1, 2020, 9:28pm

Does the preroll need the snapshot url to be correct? I haven’t had any luck with preroll on this particular camera.

matt1 · August 1, 2020, 9:46pm

That is possible as the answer was yes in the past but I have been changing a lot of code that means RTSP Only cameras are getting more features. Try setting the snapshot URL to be ‘ffmpeg’ with the override and switch the update image now channel to on. If that does not work I will have to look it over.

msexton187 · August 2, 2020, 3:55pm

Wow, you saved me a lot of time and headache. So I set the SNAPSHOT_URL_OVERRIDE parameter equal to FFMPEG_INPUT and adjusted the GIF_PREROLL to 1. Now the GIF and snapshots are created each time Update GIF is toggled. Thanks for your help!

That’s the whole point of this binding, not forcing every user to spend hours working out how to do something with scripts and hacks. Out of interest, why does your camera not default to using a correct snapshot url? Does the camera give a non working link? For Onvif cameras it should auto setup the url, and if you leave it blank for all cameras, it should warn you in the logs and fall back to ffmpeg. What camera and why did it not default to using ffmpeg by itself?

New build 2020-08-05 has these changes:

@tat I added the space for you to hopefully fix motion arguments, thanks for reporting and if you can let me know if it is fixed as I have not tested it.
Gif and mp4 history channels now delete the oldest and add the newest to keep a max of the latest 50.
MP4 recordings now have audio in them by default and you can add your own ffmpeg filters to a new config. https://github.com/Skinah/IpCamera/issues/62 If you want no audio just enter -an -vcodec copy to go back to what it was in older builds.

tat · August 5, 2020, 12:41pm

@matt1 Thanks for acting so quickly. I can confirm that the command line is now right with the filter arguments included.

razserv2010 · August 5, 2020, 11:18pm

why my camera stuck after 2 second?

msexton187 · August 7, 2020, 10:10pm

So it turned out that my cameras did auto detect the correct URLs, but I think I discovered a different issue. I have two new model Hikvision Cameras (DS-2CD2385G1-I and DS-2CD2563G0-IS) both running firmware V5.6.3 build 190923, and the alarms don’t seem to come in. In the logs I see the cameras are responding as “Device Busy”, and I also see an video loss alarm that doesn’t seem to be handled properly. This log pattern is repeated every few seconds.

Is this a known issue or is something configured improperly?  I also have older Amcrest and Dahua cameras that are working as expected.

I’m trying to figure out why my binding is slow to register an intrusion alert. It works, but it just seems delayed, compared to my NVR. The only errors I’ve been able to find is the following:

11:55:40.536 [TRACE] [ding.ipcamera.handler.IpCameraHandler] - Sending camera: GET: http://<ipaddress>/ISAPI/System/IO/inputs/1/status
11:55:40.538 [DEBUG] [ng.ipcamera.internal.HikvisionHandler] - Unhandled reply-<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title>Document Error: Unauthorized</title></head>
<body><h2>Access Error: 401 -- Unauthorized</h2>
<p>Authentication Error</p>
</body>
</html>

(IP address masked)

If I open that URL in a browser, sure enough it requires username and password. If I supply the credentials, I’m presented with the following:

<IOPortStatus xmlns="http://www.hikvision.com/ver20/XMLSchema" version="2.0">
<ioPortID>1</ioPortID>
<ioPortType>input</ioPortType>
<ioState>inactive</ioState>
</IOPortStatus>

This reply is seen many times in the log also, which makes me believe that somehow it tries without credentials, fails, and then tries with credentials and gets the reply. Is that a correct behavior?

OBS. I have tried setting the authentication method to digest/basic based on a previous reply.

matt1 · August 9, 2020, 6:05am

If you change the camera to use basic instead of digest you may find the camera does not work correctly until you restart the binding or openhab. This is because the binding will not answer for security reasons if a device or hacker downgrades the authentication to the less strong basic method.

To fault find it further you should enter in the event stream that the binding will log when first started. See if the event stream is delayed when the URL is opened in any web browser.

It may be that the camera is simply busy talking to your nvr so worth turning off the nvr to test what happens.

Hi @matt1
Can you spend a minute to look at this… I have no idea howcome I can no longer get HSL streaming to work with my Dahua cam… It used to work, but I have probably done something wrong, and now I cant get it to work anymore. My Reolink works fine.

This is what I get when have traced logged during start up of openhab:

I know 100% sure the RTSP port is 554…

Btw… updateGif works fine as well as picture shapshot. Its just HSL which fails… And I simply cant seem to find the reason

matt1 · August 9, 2020, 10:38pm

Does your camera auto reboot?
Try to
Reboot the camera and openhab both at the same time, does that fix it?
The logs show ffmpeg is telling you the RTSP is getting a error 404 back from the camera. This is the reason so this is camera related and may be a security feature of the camera.

Since you are using a preroll for gif that means it does not use RTSP and is using the snapshots as the source.

Kim_Andersen · August 10, 2020, 7:47am

Thanks Matt… I´ll give it a try tonight… This has really been driven me nuts for a few weeks now… I have no idea how/why it has happened. I have tried any possible change on the camera, except reboot both the camera and openhab at the same time.
I think the camera is setup to reboot automaticly every sunday. But I´ll check again. Is automatic rebooting a good or bad a idea?

@matt1
EDIT. Just tried, didnt changed anything. I even resetted the settings Anything else I could try?

EDIT again…
Using Onvif Device manager, I can get the RTSP stream just fine.
Something is very odd

EDIT again again.

Got some progress now…
If I use FFMPEG_INPUT and enter the url manually, the m3u8 and ts files are beeing created just fine…

So something has changed somewhere, so Onvif (or FFMPEG) no longer can figure out the rtsp url automaticly.

matt1 · August 12, 2020, 1:41pm

Perhaps you have the first sub stream turned off or set to mjpeg? The binding will be default try to use the second steam for mjpeg unless you override it. If u work out why please let me know.

Kim_Andersen · August 12, 2020, 1:50pm

I have tried all kinds of settings, even switching off substream1. It is pretty strange as it seems like the binding dont like 3 streams in all (one main stream and two substreams).
Substream1 is kinda strange as well, it´s limits in resolution for mjpeg. But substream2 can manage 1920*1080 fine.
I have tried using H264 as well as mainstream only… But I still get the same issue… I really wish I knew what the heck I have done wrong… It used to work just fine.

Kim_Andersen · August 12, 2020, 5:04pm

I have one option left… I actually refused to believe this could be it. But I need to make sure anyway… This issue I think occured when I changed my Rpi4 system to use USB boot (boot from SSD) AND a beta version of the 64bit openhabian hasslefree image…
I need to go back at try the official 32bit image insted, just to make sure if this really could be the reason… Stay tuned!

EDIT.
Just installed a fresh original openhabian on my Rpi4… Stil the same…
I simply have to give up… Something odd´s going on… Binding finds the correct URL just fine when openhab starts.

Everyhting works fine, just untill I start a HLS streaming, then FFMPEG complaints it cant find the rtsp url. rtsp url works just fine though, just not from openhab/ipcamera binding/ffmpeg.

I´m totally out of ideas now

Kim_Andersen · August 12, 2020, 9:46pm

Wtf!!
I took yet another try… Created a totally new things config file as minimum as it gets, (took your dahua example from the readme). Change the ip, username and password…
Now even animated GIF gives me the same error…

It says GIF has been created and is ready for use… But it didnt get created.

Btw… I noticed, whitelist doesnt seem to have any effect… I tried both with and without whitelist… No warning at all.

matt1 · August 12, 2020, 10:36pm

Kim whilst I like feedback on the binding I don’t like the approach made on a topic of security, before posting so you mind just taking at least an hour of fault finding to narrow the cause first? Does a reboot mean the new settings take effect? Have you cleaned the cache and temp folders?
The default of the whitelist when missing OR you made a simple TYPO will result in no warning and full access. Please check for a typing mistake and post exactly what your thing file contains. I have not tested that feature in a while but I would be Very surprised If there was an issue so if you can triple check and confirm that would be great and I will look into it ASAP.

Also as for the gif not working that shows you did not read my previous reply that mentions this and will be the cause, if your not going to bother reading my replies I don’t know why I bother.

Perhaps I should make the whitelist enabled the default, but since the server is disabled until the user enters a port I feel that is enough.
