Has anybody managed to successfully integrate this Annke camera or any other one and knows the URL to retrieve the image file?
I can’t even find any detail anywhere on the web to solve this issue.
I have a 4 camera Annke system. For some reason I can’t work out how to get onvif to work… yet!
However my camera set up in home assistant is:
-
platform: generic
name: Gate
still_image_url: Http://192.168.xx.cam1:80/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=1 -
platform: generic
name: Front Door
still_image_url: Http://192.168.xx.cam2:80/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=1 -
platform: generic
name: Terrace
still_image_url: Http://192.168.xx.cam3:80/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=1 -
platform: generic
name:
still_image_url: Http://192.168.xx.cam4:80/webcapture.jpg?command=snap&channel=1
(replacing xx.cam1 etc with the IP of your camera)
The cameras refresh every second
Hope this helps
Thanks @LArivee15 for this - haven’t had the time yet to try it in HA but will do asap.
It does not seem to work in the browser directly, is it supposed to?
A single image should show up in your browser.
I used the “explore” function (right click on a camera feed) in “IP Centcom Pro” (the camera app available for Win 10 and Android) to find the “Snapshot URL” in the “Media Profiles”. Added that for each camera and it worked first time.
My goal is to get the number-plate recognition working.
Can’t get it to work.
The app (neither Win10 nor Android) doesn’t find the camera on my network automatically and to set it up manually, it requires the URL which is what I’m looking for to begin with - Catch 22. 
Thanks for trying to help.
Does the url not show up on your router? If not is the camera even working?
The only way to get the camera show up somewhere other than the useless Annke Android app is to use the tinyCam app on Android and set it up as an SP1 comera model. That at least gives me the PTZ option.
The normal Win10 browser interface never worked for me either; on IE or Chrome I can change the settings but access to the camera stream doesn’t work.
It was cheap to buy but, man, I got what I paid for: not so much
