Configure Hikvision on Hass.io to record if any motion detected

[kisron86 (Kisron)]

Now I have a project to make smarthome with the component is Hikvision camera and some sensors. Here I want to discuss about how to configure Hikvision and Hass.io to do recording if there are any motion detected. Lets discuss

Like mentioned here:

Camera...?

You could do with giving a bit more info on your needs. Do you want to record locally either to an SD Card in the camera, to a nas drive or rely on the Cloud. What picture quality do you want? 720p 1080p 1440p and above. Talking about picture quality do you need it to work in the dark, I am assuming you are talking about a CCTV type camera and not a baby monitor. To get the best out of a camera Setup you will need some form on NVR where it be a dedicated NVR, NAS Based like Surveillance Stat…

Home Assistant isn’t a recorder by it’s self.
What storage do you have for the HikVision? Do you have a NVR or a NAS Drive running Surveillance Software?
At a push you could run a Docker container with Blue Iris or Machinebox

I want to save the file from recording to server and it will be use as content in my android apps.

i was using iVMS but not helped. I have NAS connected, but the result file of recording can’t played well. must be download in ivms application.

If the file doesn’t play to well are you recording in H.264+ ?
If so try changing your camera to record in plain H.264 instead.

The last configuration that i was try using iVMS and the result is not in line with expectations.

Now i want to ask you, can HA do the following actions:
if the motion is detected, hikvision will record 20 seconds and can we make our own android application to display and control data from HA?

[wills106 (Will)]

Not with the standard the components.

The Binary Sensors only reads information from the Camera and the Camera Switch only turns on / off motion detection. You could add the functionality to the switch component by reading the HikVision API document.

If you go down the Synology route for a NAS drive I know how to do remote trigger recording in addition to the normal detection.

Trigger a manual Synology Surveillance Station recording with an RF Door Sensor

I wanted to be able to manually trigger a recording on my Surveillance Station, you can use I/O devices such as the Advantech ADAM-6050. But using I/O devices uses up a device (Camera) licence. So I wanted an alternative option. Luckily there is the “Action Rule” which allows you to trigger a recording using the API. I am using a Sonoff RF Bridge flashed with Tasmota Firmware and a Kerui D026 RF Door / Window Switch in this example. First Step is to create an Action Rule [1] [2] Click on…

Or have a look at a setup like Blue Iris or Machinebox?
Although I have never used either of them.
