Thanks! yes i find it on google the http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi

via firefox i get a image, but on HA i still get error, (Error loading image).

What more can i test?

4

Not sure, could be HA can’t reach that IP.

5

there is way to test it?

6

Do you see camera.hikvision_cam_1 as an entity under dev-state?

7

How are you running HA, Pi?

8

Yes, Pi3 and just this give the error (Error loading image)

The only thing I see different with your url is the port :80, try removing it and see what happens.

Can you ping 192.168.31.13 in putty?

10

I do not use port on the URL…

Ping

pi@raspberrypi:/ $ ping 192.168.31.13

may be a different command?

Are you using a dahua PoE NVR? If you are it puts the cameras on a different subnet so this approach won’t work.

12

Hey,

as for now i do not have NVR POE.

i try to fix it for 2 days, non of my test is working.

13

any one have dahua camera?

14

I have both Hikvision and Dahua and use the config I provided previously and it works for me.

Not sure what your issue is.

What version HA are you running?

15

The last one, can you share your config?

as i see we also can use this urrl

still_image_url: http://192.168.31.13/onvifsnapshot/media_service/snapshot?channel=1&subtype=0

i test it now…

Post your config, looks like a formatting issue.
