Hello, do you know if the Hikvision app will ever be compatible with Homey pro? I have only one Hikvision DS-2CD2046G2-IU ip camera so far, but I plan to buy more and would like to add them to my home automation. Thanks for every reply. ---

Just finished soldering a little project with a Shelly Uni to utilized the alarm in/outputs of my hikvision NVR to make it somewhat smart. Output to trigger something in Homey Input to trigger something in the recorder. For a full integration i wouldnt get your hopes up too much Hikvision likes to change “api” interfacing very frequently, like any other chinese manufacturere _ahem Tuya_. If someone updates or rewrites the homey app it might work for him/her but not your camera. ---

This is very bad news and thus I will probably be forced to go to a brand that is supported and will be for a long time. I would like to add a camera to the Homey pro so I can set some things up. Can you recommend a brand of Ip cameras that are compatible with Homey pro? ---

One more thing occurred to me that I hadn’t tried before and hadn’t even occurred to me at all. My camera supports the Onvif protocol. So I tried to find an app for Homey pro and got lucky. In the camera configuration, I enabled the Onvif protocol and set the user. And it’s camera is already added in Homey pro. ---

Not sure what you want to accomplish. Little explanation of want you want will help us help you. I only have Hikvision so can’t recommend other brands. Google Nest cams and Ring is supported by official apps I believe, but those are cloud based. ---

I have already solved my problem. I added the camera via Onvif protocol and it is compatible with Homey pro. ---

Hi, what type/model of camera with ONVIF you have that worked? Are you able to trigger a photo when motion was detected? Tkanks for info. ---

I have a hikvision DS-2CD2046G2-IU model. To tell the truth, I didn’t gain much by adding Homey pro. The camera itself knows the same thing that Homey pro offers me, when detecting movement or crossing the so-called I will receive a picture with a photo of the threshold to the land.
