[APP][Pro] Support for ONVIF compatible cameras (Release 2.0.60, Test 2.0.60)

Joram · June 28, 2023, 11:47am

The cameras are also connected to a reolink Nvr. Should it still be possible to also connect the homey through onvif?

Adrian_Rockall · June 28, 2023, 12:09pm

Can you connect the app to the NVR?
My Reolink cameras connect to my Reolink NVR and I add the NVR to Homey. It then finds the cameras via the channels of the NVR.

To_Lou · June 28, 2023, 12:42pm

Ok, so it cannot connect direcly to Reolink cameras but instead to the NVR?
I don’t use NVR so I’m out of luck?

Adrian_Rockall · June 28, 2023, 3:10pm

I have two cameras connected to my NVR and one is on my network. I can add them all to Homey with the ONVIF app.

Joram · June 29, 2023, 1:26pm

To be clear, then I should fill in the ip address of the NVR in here right?

I tried, but I only get refused all the time

Hi Adrian,

I recently bought a reolink video doorbell PoE which I try to integrate into homey with your app. The camera was found and I’m able to see the snapshots. But I don’t get any motion alerts. I tried the stable release 2.0.30 and the test version 2.0.41 which doesn’t make a difference.

Here is an excerpt from the log:

I tried different camera settings, with no success. I also don’t know what the push server (port 9998) is for. I think my camera doesn’t use this port.

What can I do to make it work?

Have you switched on the motion detection in the Homey device?

McFetz · July 13, 2023, 7:45am

Hi Adrian,

the switch was off, of course! I had interpreted this as a status indicator, so it would switch on when motion was detected.

After switching on, the notifications fires as expected. Thanks for your fast response and your app!

Daniel

Bonjour,
Je n’arrive pas à intégrer mes cameras imou ranger pro à l’appli Homey pro.

Mes données de connexion
Username : admin
Password : safety code de la caméra ie L21***B7
IP address : 192.168.0.20
ONVIF SERVICE PORT : 37777

Thank you for help

Adrian_Rockall · July 18, 2023, 5:30pm

You don’t say what error you see when you try to add the camera.
I don’t see the ONVIF port shown in the picture so I presume you typed that in before trying to add the camera?

denpog · July 19, 2023, 7:35am

Thank you Adrian,
here are the screen shots i get

Good morning

password is the safety code of my camera

the error is “network request failed”

Adrian_Rockall · July 19, 2023, 7:49am

Was the port number picked up automatically or did you have to enter it?
Could you go to the app settings page, select the Diagnostics Log tab and then set the Log to Detailed Information. Then try to add the camera and once it has failed, go back to the Diagnostics Log tab and tap on Send Log. Hopefully that will show me where it’s failing.

denpog · July 19, 2023, 8:25pm

thank you for care to me
i’ve got the solution using port 80.
well done and thanks for your help

Denis

Marc_Straat · July 20, 2023, 11:44am

Adrian,

I have a NVR and 4 ONVIF capable camera’s connected. But the camera’s are in a different subnet as my Homey. It is not possible to connect homey in this subnet because this subnet is connected behind the NVR. If I do an autosearch I can only connect one camera there is no list of camera’s, what should I do to get all 4 of the cameras in Homey. Is there a possibility?

Thanks in advance for your answer/support.

Adrian_Rockall · July 20, 2023, 6:18pm

Can you set the Diagnostics log level to Detailed Information, try to add camera’s and then send the log.
If the NVR supports ONVIF it should give a list of camera’s once you select it. So it’s possible the one you see is the NVR.

Marc_Straat · July 21, 2023, 9:24am

I sent you a log when I try to discover the NVR via port 80.
I am not able to find a NVR or camera.
If I use port 30000 (camera 1) up to 30030 (camera 4) I can discover one camera. But only one camera can be discoverd. If I try to discover the camera’s with there own IP-addresses (172.16.0.5:80) I get the message “Error: Could Not Get MAC Address”. This is the second Log I sent to you
I can not find in the NVR an ONVIF port, there is a RTSP port

To_Lou · July 21, 2023, 9:46am

My Reolinks does not get discovered, and the manual connection fails all the time.
Possibly because of the self-signed certificate over SSL (https:).

But is this browser link compatible at all with the ONVIF app?

https://192.168.1.225/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=admin&password=xxxxxx

Since we only add IP adress (unlike the Virtual IP Camera feature in Homey) I wonder if it’s more to it than SSL issues?

Adrian_Rockall · July 21, 2023, 9:58am

The URL looks good, so it should work.
If you put that in a browser do you see a snapshot?
