Annke integration

1

Hi, I have an Annke camera system connected to my router that uses the Annke Vision app. Is there any way to tie it into HA? I saw some people seem to have been able to do so on the forums, but I can’t figure out how. I am not good with writing code and was hoping there might be a simple plug-and-play way to do it. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Did you find a solution for this? I’m looking for exactly the same.

Hi guys, with chatgpt and Two hours of time, this integration works in my ha.
You Need this code in configuration.yaml:

stream:

camera:

  • platform: ffmpeg
    name: Camera 1
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/102

  • platform: ffmpeg
    name: Camera 2
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/202

…

Where “yourpassword” Is password of user admin in your annke DVR, 192.168.1.xxx the ip of your annke DVR (static of.course) and 102 202 302 are che Channels of your Camera input. (101 is HiRes 102 LowRes…)

Thanks Stefano. I tried on C800 (w/H265) and it worked! Do not assume that firmware was per the manual. Mine was updated to this format after being in the box for a year. Many thanks.

Thanks! That was a great help to get me within shooting distance. I have an Annke DT81DP DVR. I was trying to test the stream using VLC before moving into HA and I was connecting but with what looked like an encrypted image. I’d forgotten I had set a 6 digit ‘Verification Code’ found under ‘Configuration’ -Platform Access’ . Disabling this made it work.

I’ve just integrated my Annke Egis-DVR / DT81BG using the home assistant generic camera integration and the rtsp:// settings in Stefano’s link and it works brilliantly. Using a 4G modem to provide internet access so I set the frame rate to 1Hz to preserve my bandwidth.

The Annke unit contains image and object recognition software. Has anyone managed to integrate that to home assistant? It does mention it can send an email to a mailbox, however I was hoping for something a bit better.
