Hi,

I’m running HASS.io on a RPi2 and trying to get a Axis M1034-W to work with it. A couple of versions ago, probably a week or two, I got it to work but now I don’t. Have tried to configure it through the front-end and also through input in configuration.yaml.

My configuration file:

axis:
m1034w:
host: 192.168.1.77
username: homeassistant
password: !secret axis_password
include:
- camera
- motion
- pir
- sound
- tampering
- input
location: “Köket”

Error message:

So it worked as it should in an earlier hass-release? Weird, haven’t changed the parsing afaik.

The received event doesn’t contain all expected values necessary to register a new event according to the backtrace. Can you enable debug?

Any ideas why the frame rate would be much lower when uses the Axis camera component versus just using the MJPEG component?

With the Axis component, the frame rate feels like its around 1 or 2 FPS. But with the MJPEG component, the frame rate is very smooth.

I’m using an M3113 on firmware version 5.50.5.1

Robban · November 20, 2017, 6:19am

Are you using the same resolution as Axis component? It’s the same code beneath

Hi Robban. Sorry, it’s me again. After upgrading to 0.58 with your patch, my log file is flooded with axis errors every minute.

Any idea what this could be? The camera is functioning alright. And thank you for all your efforts!

Kind regards,

Wilfred

This is a known issue with one of the libraries that the jpeg camera component uses (which the axis camera component is based on)

See the note here https://home-assistant.io/components/camera.mjpeg/

Oké, I know this error exists, but from now on (0.58) I cannot suppress it anymore in the log file.

The following logger configuration should suppress it, shouldn’t it?

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.camera: fatal
    requests.packages.urllib3: fatal

Robban · November 20, 2017, 6:09pm

I think so, historically I’ve used requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool: fatal, but that is a subset of what you have so shouldn’t differ.

I’ve not upgraded to 0.58, have a new component I want in for 0.59 so I will wait to spend time on upgrading until after that has been merged.

alfi33 · November 21, 2017, 3:56am

Yep. Resolution on the camera is set to 800x600. I’ve experimented with a couple of different resolutions, but same result. Smooth frame rate with MJPEG component but choppy with Axis component.

Robban · November 26, 2017, 8:34pm

The component requests the default stream I think http://{}:{}/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi, so I guess if you change default settings for the camera you will get the same.

If you want it in another way please give a suggestion of how that would be

alfi33 · November 27, 2017, 3:55am

Hmm. Well, that’s not the URL that I’m using in the MJPEG component. In the MJPEG component, I’m using http://CameraIP/mjpg/video.mjpg. So I swapped out that URL and put in http://CameraIP/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi....and it was also smooth…so I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m running HA in a Docker…not sure if that matters.

Robban · November 27, 2017, 5:54pm

Bonkers…

If the url is the same the result should be the same…

Roemer · November 27, 2017, 7:59pm

Hello
I’m on HA 0.58 and just have my camera configured with:

axis:
  carport:
    host: !secred axis_ip
    username: !secret axis_user
    password: !secret axis_pass
    include:
      - camera
      - pir
      - motion
      - tampering
    location: carport

I do see the camera but I do not see any sensors. Also in the log there is nothing except the parse error mentioned above. Is there anything else I need to configure?
Thanks

Robban · November 27, 2017, 8:21pm

What camera and firmware do you have?

Roemer · November 27, 2017, 8:59pm

M2026-LE, 7.30 I think

Robban · November 27, 2017, 9:04pm

Yeah that should definitely work.
Can you enable debugging for the axis component?

Hmm, Have you enabled motion detection in the camera? It won’t create sensors unless they’re available.
That camera doesn’t have PIR. It has IR lamp for the camera sensor for night vision.

Roemer · November 27, 2017, 9:34pm

It does have tampering and motion detection. I have both enabled. How can I enable the debugging of it?

Robban · November 27, 2017, 9:35pm

Checkout the logger component.

Which motion detection have you enabled?

Roemer · November 27, 2017, 9:37pm

The Axis Video Motion Detection (4) in Apps. Are you in gitter/discord somewhere to not clutter this thread?
