Amcrest ad410 cast to chromecast possible?

Configuration
1

Hello.

I installed a Amcrest ad410, and manged to add it to home assistant using the following code:

  host: 10.0.0.55
  username: ******
  password: *******
  stream_source: rtsp
  binary_sensors:
  - motion_detected

And i managed to add it with the Dahua and Onvif integration as well.
However, i want it to trigger my chromecast on the tv to live stream the doorbell camera when the button is pressed. I managed to get the trigger to happen and the connection to be made.

But in some cases either the screen turns only to the chromecast logo, or it displays a “time bar” at the bottom and the word live, but no image.

Which way would be best to get the stream to work, using Onvif, Dahua or the Amcrest yaml version?

Thank you

I managed to stream the camera to Home assistant using the following setup

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: Amcrest Doorbell
    still_image_url: http://admin:[email protected]:554/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
    stream_source: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

The still image url gives me a snapshot when i open the link in Chrome.

But i can not get the stream to open up in chromecast or google hub.
I dont know why as i have 3 other generic camera’s with the same setup that stream without issues.

Has anyone succeeded in streaming the doorbell camera?

Did you ever figure this out? I just installed an AD410 as well and would like to do something similiar.

Thanks!

You can do this if you have Blue Iris. See Cast Blue Iris To TV Using Google Home

Thank @btr , that may be an option but I was hoping to do this without purchasing a $60 Blue Iris license.

I didnt get it to work either, tried many diffrent options. Maybe it has to do with to many connection requests to the doorbell, i had an error saying something like that.

@mboarman If you have other cameras then I’d recommend Blue Iris. Draw back is you need to run a PC 24/7.
