The hikvisioncam component adds switched to enable/disable basic motion detection on my Hikvision cameras. However, it doesn’t expose switched to control the smart events supported by the cameras. for example, field detection or line crossing detection.
It would be great to add support for smart events as they’re typically more reliable than basic motion detection.
I checked the hass doc and the smart events seams to be working.
In my case with 2146G2, i received no events from de cam.
My events are ok in the isapi streams…
Strange… do you have an idea ?
Hello Maciej,
I apologize for the delay in my response, I didn’t see the message until now.
I confirm that the DS-2CD2T87G2P-LSU/SL camera is working.
Do you plan to add the possibility of sending an alarm trigger to the camera? This camera incorporates two-way audio and lights, both operable manually or automatically in case of detecting an intruder.
I confirm that the DS-2CD2047G2-LU/SL also works. Bravo!
Both models, this one and the model from the previous post, have the strobe and light option. That’s why I’m interested in sending a trigger alarm to the camera to activate the S&L.
I guess it could be done using even existing version. All you need is a bit of persistency and an automation which sends http requests mentioned at ipcamtalk when alarm is triggered. I’ve found an example here Sending HTTP command in automation action - #4 by tom_l
