Hey @Alex_R I have a new version 2026.8.3

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately when trying to connect the doorbell I get the following error upon clicking on “test connection” (see image below). The IP, username and password are correct and working with the other HikVision app (I can see my doorbell live video in there). The doorbell is not on NVR like the rest of my cameras. Not sure what the error means.

Thanks!

Why I have the problem to see the camera? I hear the cam but it is black. Also with the dashboard app from you. I have seen heer online that it is a iPhone, iPad problem with homey.

When someone can see the cam and have an Apple device, let me know how. Thank you.

Ive been testing this and works well. Ive added my NVR which shows my 8 cameras and I can see a live feed from them.

How do I say get a snapshot from a camera and send it to my phone I don’t see a flow card to do this? Thanks

Thanks for testing and for confirming that all eight NVR channels and their live feeds work.

I have added the snapshot Flow functionality in test version 2026.8.6, which is available now:

The motion, line-crossing, intrusion and doorbell triggers now provide a Snapshot image tag for the channel that caused the event. You can use that tag in Homey’s image-notification action to send the image to your phone.

For a manually requested snapshot, Advanced Flow now has a Hikvision action named Take a snapshot. Select your NVR, enter the camera channel number (1–8 in your case), and use the returned Snapshot tag in the next image-notification card.

The manual action is available in Advanced Flow because Homey only supports output tags from Then cards there. The Snapshot tag supplied directly by an event trigger can also be used in a standard Flow.

Please let me know whether the channel numbering and image notification work as expected with your NVR.

Ik blijf het vreemd vinden. Heb nu al een paar keer de app in Homey Pro geplaatst en ik krijg geen directe beelden op mijn iPhone en/of iPad. Als ik niet via de app bekijk maar via browser dan zie ik wel direct beeld. Blijf dat toch vreemd vinden en ik zie het anders niet.

Ik heb net nog een keertje geprobeerd en zie mijn achtertuin

Hi, thank you very much for the Hikvision app. I have a door station (camera with a doorbell). The addition was successful, the preview and livestream work. Only the notification when pressing the doorbell does not work, even though I used flow. I have a Hikvision DS-KD8003-IME1(B)/Flush DS-KD8003-IME1(B)/Flush | Domovní videotelefony - Hikvision, Commax | EUROALARM Could something be done about it? Thank you very much.

Hi,

Just wanted to follow up on this. I managed to connect the doorbell by doing exactly the same thing I tried a few days ago. I’m not sure whether the app was updated or something else changed, but it’s working now.

Thanks.

Hey @Mithrandir86 I updated the app vo 2026.8.7

Update 2026.8.7

  • Improved video-doorbell detection with the official Hikvision ISAPI call-status fallback
  • Added a privacy-safe diagnostic bug report under Repair device
  • Unknown ISAPI event types are recorded safely to help diagnose model- and firmware-specific behaviour
  • Existing CallButtonPress detection remains available and duplicate doorbell triggers are suppressed

This is excellent. Can you expose Region Entrance Detection?
