Hi @Pierre_V thanks again for this app, it’s great! Screenshots work fine but with your suggested RTSP and WEB setting, live view remains black (already on H264). Any idea what NVR setting could cause this?

Hi,  
Usually it’s a permissions issue or a codec issue (use H.265). I recently had some problems with the audio and had to remove it from the camera/NVR stream.

Hi Pierre,

First of all, awesome job!

I have a DS-KV6114 doorbell. I was able to load the camera into Homey, I see the live view but i was hoping to trigger on the doorbell-press, but that doesn’t seem to work.

Do you need any information from my side for debugging?

Thanks!

Alexander

Hello.  
Yes, I haven’t found the solution for that. Someone would need to set up a socket server or listen to the network (with tcpdump for example) to see what’s happening on the network. As things stand, and without the device at my place, I’m a bit stuck. Everything is ready on the Homey app side. We just need to find the message…

Let me see what I can do.

No experience in that field, so if you have a bit of guidance on how to do that, that would be great 🙂

Hi,

I connected my ds kv 6113 doorbell but when I approach it in the app it crashes. I have the homey 2026!

Anyone familiar with this?

Hi! Great job with this app! Will the “Line Crossing Detection” event be supported to trigger flows/scenes in Homey?

There’s another app out there that does have “Line crossing detected” card, but it doesn’t have doorbell support so…

Can someone explain what “turning on” a camera actually does in Homey?

My cameras are connected through an NVR, so they’re always powered on and recording. I can view the live stream in Homey regardless of whether the camera’s state is shown as “On” or “Off”.

When I turn a camera “On” in Homey, the only thing that seems to change is that a “Connectivity alarm” appears on the device tile. The live stream works exactly the same whether the camera is “On” or “Off”. What is the On/Off state actually controlling?

Thanks.

It is only enable or disable camera events on Homey.
