Any one know how can i add NVR IP camera Dahua

Configuration
41

I’m having the exact same issue with Home Assistant 0.44.2.

Here’s my config:

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: Backyard
    still_image_url: http://xxx:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=xxx&loginpas=xxx

I can copy paste that URL into my browser and load the image just fine. I have a Dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A.

42

what happens if you wget that url from a shell on your HA instance?
wget <url>

43

runraid nice to see this is not only me.

quadmasta - just wget http://xxx:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi? via SSH?

44

Update to Hassbian, still same issue…

quadmasta on ssh work

Any one :frowning: or just me.

Here’s my output of trying to wget, which worked fine and it was from within the container…

Notice it gave an initial 401.

as i read that can work only with NVR

48

I’m going to try to proxy it through nginx and let nginx handle the auth to see how that goes…

49

After a week, google and google and google that work for me!!!

51

I have ffmpeg installed yet it still won’t load the image.

What your config? add it here.

I run Dahui camera and I use the following

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: rtsp://admin:admin@IPOFCAMERA:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
    name: Front

1.add ffmpeg to configuration.yaml file

ffmpeg:
  ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/avconv

This is my location with hassbian , you need to find what is your location .(/usr/bin/avconv) my be same

Then the command

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: rtsp://admin:admin@IPOFCAMERA:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
    name: Front

Just to add, your Dahui camera should support RTSP but you can check the port in Setup --Connection – RTSP Port under the camera web gui

56

so it work for you now?

57

It’s not working for me, but I believe I know why.

My dahua camera are using “digest authentication”, not “basic authentication”. I suspect the python library isn’t handling digest authentication hence the reason I’m seeing failures.

58

what your model?

I got it to work. I needed to specify the authentication type as digest. Here’s my working config.

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: Backyard
    authentication: digest
    username: my_username
    password: my_password
    still_image_url: http://192.168.1.201/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
