Thanks for your response. I already have several cameras that I’ve added using the ONVIF App and they are showing the live feed. The problem I am having is adding a NEW camera (Aqara G100) that only provides RTSP information. I try to add a new device, select the ONVIF App, add manually (only option available) but I’m not sure how to add the RTSP info since the App only asks for ONVIF information.
I hope all that makes sense, and agin thanks for any help.
The camera has to support ONVIF so it can be added to the app.
That makes perfect sense of course since the name is ONVIF and not RTSP. I was just confused since the release notes said support for RTSP. It’s a great App and you have done a great job, I do have several ONVIF cameras that work great with the App and I will happily continue to use with my Homey Pro.
Again, thanks for all your work on your Apps. Maybe Aqara will support ONVIF someday in an update and I’ll add it then. Thanks.
Hopefully Athom will add RTSP support to the generic IP camera device.
Or maybe one day I will create an app just for RTSP 
That would be awesome if you did!
A Hikvision app would be great 
I understand that it’s not possible at the moment.
Thanks for a fantastic app. I use the beta app and have set up RTSP port forwarding in the router (can be access controlled). This works well externally and internally but sometimes I have to go into the user url and change, save and change back to get the setting to work. What if you had an option that locked it to the user url. I have a suspicion that sometimes it uses the url that the app gets from the camera and not the user url. You should also be able to set whether video or image should be the default view. I use wanscam cameras.
The app should always use the user url if it’s been defined, so I don’t know why it would switch back. Can you try and track down the cause of it changing?
Unfortunately apps have no control over the default view as that’s determined by Athom.
I bought a Tapo C210, configured it with the Tapo app. Then I switched to the ONVIF app and it recognizes the camera. I enter the username and password that I set in the Tapo app’s advanced options (to enable ONVIF/RTSP streams). It goes through the setup correctly and I can see the camera as a device and all the entities. But when I try to use the Homey widget to view the live camera on the dashboard, it says “no camera found.”
Where am I going wrong?
Things to check:
Are you running the test version of the app?
Do you have the latest firmware on a Homey 2023?
Do you have the latest Homey app version?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I’m currently using the stable version of the app, I have the latest firmware on my Homey Pro 2023, and the app version is also up to date.
I installed the test version of the app and everything is working perfectly! Thank you!!!
I’m new here with the ONVIF app and just bought a Reolink doorbell camera in combination with the Home Hub.
After some research, I can’t get it to work .
I always get the error message “Error invalid protocol.”
I checked with ChatGPT, and it claims: “Reolink camera’s behind the Home Hub don’t expose ONVIF only their own Reolink API. You can’t add them through the Homey ONVIF app.
Is that correct?Just wondering if it’s worth continuing to look into this.
I’m not exactly sure where I’m going wrong. I’m using version .60 and I’ve tried everything possible to view the live feed of the camera I’m testing (Tapo C210) when I’m not connected to my local network, but unfortunately I just can’t get it to work.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!
The stream only works when the mobile is on the same network as the camera.
It is documented further up, but I appreciate there’s a lot of posts.
Basically, the ONVIF app just tells the Homey app what the RTSP stream url is, which is always local, and then the Homey app on the mobile makes the connection to the camera.
Hi Adrian, my Reolink NVS 8 now supports line crossing, and it works in the Reolink app, but not in Homey. I've enabled line crossing in the settings. Is the notification type complete? See the attached photo.

Can you send the information log from the app settings page.
Hi Adrian, I’ve send you the logfile.
The log is not showing any line crossed events, only motion and person detection. The app subscribes to all events, so if the camera was sending them, they would appear in the log.
