Hi everyone, I just finished developing a new Homey app for HikVision cameras, nvrs and doorbells and I’m looking for testers! If you use Homey and have HikVision devices, your feedback would be extremely valuable to help me improve the app and fix any bugs before the official release. Feel free …

Hi, I have eight Hikvision cameras around the house. They’re 4K models from a few years ago, so they don’t support RTSP, only ONVIF. I’ve already added them to Homey using the ONVIF Camera app. When I tap the device tile in Homey, I get a static snapshot, but when I add the camera as a widget, it …

To my knowledge, ONVIF uses RTSP. And no, this app does not support ONVIF; it uses Hikvision’s ISAPI. For the moment, all types of events are grouped together in the motion alarm. you hav access to snapshot and liveview via RTSP If you do not see RTSP, it is probably because basic authentication …

new version with support of digest authentication for API. RTSP must be config as digest/basic

new version 1.1.0 with a new trigger flow. The flow is activated when the camera detects an event and includes a tag for the event type.

[image] Alex_R: Does this app support ONVIF? Why? There’s a perfectly working ONVIF Camera app avaliable.

For me also trigger with doorbell from hikvision ds-kv6113-wpe1 would be nice. Hikvision doorbells do not expose a simple REST endpoint like /button/status. Instead, button presses are delivered as events via a persistent HTTP event stream. To detect when the doorbell button is pressed, your app…

Because… why not? I have HikVision cameras connected to NVR and a HikVision video doorbell. A native HiKVision app with ONVIF support might give me more options/flow capabilities compared to a generic ONVIF app that I’m using now. More is better, right?

Well, you’re asking community app building enthousiasts to do double work, that was the thought behind my question: if such an app already exists, why not use it? And when you miss features / functionality, you can always discuss it with Adrian, the Onvif Camera app developer :wink:
