Hello,

Has anyone successfully integrated Dahua NVR motion detection as a HA trigger?

Thank you

Hi, how have you integrated your NVR in HA?

Hi, not integrated yet. I tried using Motioneye to get motion detect and trigger but had no luck with that.

Dahua and Amcrest are same. Try Amcrest integration

Simply integrate the NVR via HA Onvif integration and all detection types that your NVR offers (motion, IVS, … ) are available as triggers under HA.

However, there is a bug with Core 2025.4.x with the naming of individual sensors. This means that the sensors only appear under the device name in the device overview. See:

github.com/home-assistant/core

2025.4.1: Onvif - (Almost) All entities are now displayed only with the device name.

### The problem Core 2025.4.1 Supervisor 2025.03.4 Operating System 15.1 Fronte…nd 20250404.0 Various Dahua cameras and NVR Update from 2025.3.4 to 2025.4.1 (Almost) All entities (global scene change, field detection, cell motion detection, processor usage, last reboot, etc.) are now displayed only with the device name. Except for those that may have been renamed previously (Example: Hof line_detector_crossed und Schuppen line_detector_cros...). ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c3b8c565-3375-46e7-8105-ff02df08c243) Clicking on a sensor displays the correct entity name. Example: ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/15bbcedc-c408-49cd-8505-8783475575a7) For the NVR, this means that you can no longer see which entity belongs to which camera (channel) on the NVR in the device overview. Previously, the names were: - line detector crossed 1 - line detector crossed 2 - line detector crossed 3 - line detector crossed 4 - etc. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2025.4.1 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? 2025.3.4 ### What type of installation are you running?

You could probably also integrate the NVR using rroller’s Dahua integration, but rroller is no longer actively maintaining or developing this. Furthermore, with my Dahua NVR, the rroller Dahua integration floods the NVR with log entries every second. I can’t tell you why that’s the case, and rroller hasn’t commented on it either.
