I am trying to set up Dahua IPC-HDW1320S camera using Dahua HACS.
The camera reports Motion Detected under “Sensors” so there is a reason to believe the integration is configured as much that there is communication with the camera.
I cannot, however, see any video stream. The camera.entity_ID_main
shows a blank window.
I noticed that https://github.com/rroller/dahua is instructing me to add ffmpeg:
line to the config.yaml
I may be getting lost here since (I think) the yaml structures evolved since this integration was introduced. The main configuration.yaml
is now mostly empty and it is not clear to me where to add the ffmpeg:
line.
(I did add it to the configuration.yaml
anyway with no positive outcome).
I can see the Dahua custom integration entries in the file ~/config/.storage/core.config_entries
BTW: I am connected to the camera physical UART and the console is rather “chatty” with may messages like:
[20:43:12 warn NetApp-471353 289 Unknown:0]tid:289, code: VideoMotionInfo, index: 0, action: 5, param is NULL
[Src/smtpNew/EventHandle.cpp:262]
[20:43:12 trace RPCFramework:452624 289 SessionManager.cpp:111]this:0xe42450,input code[VideoMotionInfo] or action[5] illegal!
I also installed Generic Camera integration that does display the stream from my camera as expected.
Any idea? Thanks!
