Can't PTZ control YOOSEE IP Camera

Hardware
1

Hi, I have 5 YOOSEE PTZ IP cameras:
image

those are working with Android YooSee application and known as yoosee cameras. Cameras capable of streaming 2 main video and audio streams:

  1. hires main stream: rtsp://<camera_ip>:554/onvif1
  2. lowres substream: rtsp://<camera_ip>:554/onvif2

Onvif port for PTZ control is 5000.
Another thing is, those are UDP (not TCP) streams and I have tried many ways to get the to display video including onvif:

- platform: onvif
  name: kitchen_camera
  host: 192.168.x.x
  username: admin
  password: verysecret
  port: 5000
  extra_arguments: -rtsp_transport udp

and mjpeg:

  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: rtsp://192.168.1.xxx:554/onvif1
    name: xxx

with extra parameters like tcp_transport udp and without non of them working.

The only way worked is through motioneye plugin installed through supervisor panel in HA.
I have got YCC365 camera to work with the following card in lovelace:

But I can’t figure out how to get yoosee PTZ to work.
I changed code and added port:

type: picture-elements

camera_image: camera.hall_camera

  - type: state-icon

      action: call-service

    style:
      bottom: 45%
      left: 5%
      color: white
      opacity: 0.5
      transform: ' scale (1.5, 1.5) '
  - type: state-icon
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: ptz_camera.move_right
      service_data:
        host: '192.168.1.12:5000'
    entity: camera.hall_camera
    icon: 'mdi:arrow-right-drop-circle'
    style:
      bottom: 45%
      right: 5%
      color: white
      opacity: 0.5
      transform: ' scale (1.5, 1.5) '
  - type: state-icon
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: ptz_camera.move_up
      service_data:

    style:
      top: 10%
      left: 46%
      color: white
      opacity: 0.5
      transform: ' scale (1.5, 1.5) '
  - type: state-icon
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: ptz_camera.move_down
      service_data:

  - type: state-icon
    tap_action:
      action: more-info
    entity: camera.hall_camera

      right: 5%
      color: white
      opacity: 0.5
      transform: ' scale (1.5, 1.5) '

However it throws the following error when I try to control camera:

I’m using the following custom component for PTZ control: ptz_camera to send onvif ptz xml
Can somebody help?

thanks

I have faced the same problem as you.
I do not know if you still need it or not, but it may be useful for other people.
I have modified the original custom component ptz_camera in a fork working for YCC365, Y05 and YOOSEE cameras.
PTZ-YALL

I’m facing this problem too with yoosee cam and followed the readme. But I’m stucked at GitHub - carvalr/PTZ-YALL: Fork of PTZ-YCC365 because I tried adding with motionEye (surveillance_username & password I don’t have), mjpeg (No connection) and /config/configuration.yaml code (maybe wrong port?)

ptz_camera:
  camera:
    - platform: mjpeg
      name: camera_1
      mjpeg_url: http://192.168.178.42:8083

Non of it worked… I see a empty card. Anyone had luck with it? rtsp://192.168.178.42:554/onvif1 works and ONVIF Device Manager too.
