I do not have Dahua camera but the information here was very helpful to create camera (simple IP camera “no-name”) movement controls. I have used browser to “spy” what commands are sent to camera when I press moment buttons and then put those in command line switches, example below:
command_on: 'curl -G "http://camera_ip/decoder_control.cgi?command=6&user=*******&pwd=********"'
command_off: 'curl -G "http://camera_ip/decoder_control.cgi?command=1&user=*******&pwd=*******"'
And it is working very well!
However I have one challenge. My switches are integrated into Picture Glance Card which looks like this, where I can see the switches
When I click on the image the picture gets bigger and the switches disappear:
Is there any way to keep switches available when clicking the camera picture?
Below is Picture Card Configuration:
camera_image: camera.kamera2o
entities:
- entity: switch.kamera20_pan_h
icon: 'mdi:arrow-left-right-bold-outline'
- entity: switch.kamera20_left
icon: 'mdi:menu-left-outline'
- entity: switch.kamera20_right
icon: 'mdi:menu-right-outline'
- entity: switch.kamera20_up
icon: 'mdi:menu-up-outline'
- entity: switch.kamera20_down
icon: 'mdi:menu-down-outline'
title: null
type: picture-glance
camera_view: live
tap_action:
action: more-info
double_tap_action:
action: url
url_path: 'http://camera_ip/'
I have replaced real camera IP with the “camera_ip” and user & password with “*******” in my examples above.
