[AMCREST] NVR Support

[Tomek985 (Tomek G)]

I have Lorex NVR (probably clone of Dahua) and would like to integrate it with HA, especially to get access to motion sensors.
I verified using amcrest python library (just take snapshots) and it appears to somewhat work.

It is probably related to existing request:

Amcrest IP Camera component - Add option to specify Channel Number

The Amcrest API is also used for their DVRs/NVRs. Assuming this the interface used by HA, adding an option to specify the channel number will allow us to use their NVRs as a source. If no channel is specified, the default channel of 1 is assumed. For reference: https://support.amcrest.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002594672-Amcrest-HTTP-API-SDK

>>> camera.system_information deviceType=31 processor=ST7108 updateSerial=DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2

If it is in fact using the Dahua/Amcrest api you can use this to get the events from each channel of the NVR… https://github.com/psyciknz/CameraEvents/blob/master/README.md

Also don’t forget to vote for your own request…
