Hello. New version of the app, with an initial implementation of doorbell support. At the moment, it only triggers an event when someone rings. Since I can’t test it myself, I’m waiting for your feedback. ---

The app works great, thank you so much for developing this @Pierre_V ! By setting the security for web access and rtsp to digest/basic I was able to connect to the NVR and add the cameras. I will test the features in the upcoming days, live snapshots work great. Is there a technical limitation that prevents live streaming for camera’s connected via the NVR? Would be great to have that feature as well! ---

The live stream on the NVR is complex. Apparently, as soon as the local NVR session is closed, the streaming goes completely black. So it doesn’t make much sense. There seems to be a way to prevent the session from automatically closing, but I haven’t found it. If you find the solution, adding this feature is super quick. ---

Do you get motion events triggered in homey? Ive tried every setting and can’t get any motion to trigger if I have my cameras connected through the NVR. I reset my NVR today and re-set it back up with security set to digit/basic and still nothing gets triggered which I don’t understand. I have basic motion and smart (line crossing / intrusion) but none seem to pick it up. I can see live snapshots of all my cams and works great just no motion is picked up. ---

Pierre, I have camera’s without PTZ and I do not use the NVR But what I use is: Live streaming, Live Snapshots, Event Snapshots and that is working fine via the Wifi connection with Homey When I am using 5G, I can use Live Snapshots and Event snapshots. Regards Rein ---

The digit/basic setting helped me to get the connection with the NVR up and running. Motion events don’t seem to work, I’ll do some tests with my NVR settings as well. ---

Thanks for the quick reply, already very happy with the current functionality! I’ll try some different angles from my side and report back if I make some progress. ---

Hello, Today I have add my 4 cams I can add them directley through IP and also with NVR support though the NVR whitin the app I have live on every cam, so far so good. Moved on with a flow for motion detection, but that does not seems to work @ the moment I have made a easy flow for only the garden LED lamp and it should triger for theese action: motion the motion detector goes and motion alarm goes off for 1 second. But it will not trigger and the lamp stay’s off ![Schermafbeelding 2026-01-11 134450](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6f80dfbbcab26836e158076b7634880a61821d54.png) ---

Hi, Just to clarify, is the NVR and its cameras definitely powered on in Homey? For your information, the motion alarm remains active for at least 30 seconds. I have a lead from another user. As soon as I find the time, I’ll try to release a new version. What is your NVR model? Thanks for your feedback! 🙂 ---

Hello, A new test version (1.5.2) has just been deployed. It allows me to verify whether any NVRs push events over HTTPS. If that happens, the app will crash and a log message will be sent back to me anonymously via the Homey tools. Thanks for your help 🙂 [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-hikvision/147865.md?page=3) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-hikvision/147865.md?page=5)
