If your VTO support motion detection then probably it’s possible, configure motion detection in VTO, configure integration to record all events and check. You can also turn on debugging and you will see in the log all messages from VTO not only client.notifyEventStream
If integration works for you, please help to get it approved to HACS default repo.

I can’t say that this is benefits, but few points:
If you don’t have/don’t use MQTT you don’t need it (my case)
MQTT version run in extra docker container which you should monitor, this version run inside Home Assistant as integration and because of this it’s also has a bit faster communications
Maybe other users here have experience with both versions and will answers better.
Hello,
Thanks for your job.
I have a vto since 2016 and I am trying to integrate it into my home automation.
but when i put your code i got this message:
“Dahua Vto unavailable”
I put the address of my VTO, the admin user and his password.
is this due to my firmware too old?
can you help me ?
Thanks for your answer
In this debug log I doesn’t see protocol messages <<< so I can’t tell you exactly why it’s doesn’t work now, if you give full debug log I can look.
Sure better to keep firmware up to date, it’s not to hard but not straight forward as well. If you have VTH as well it’s will requires more configuration. When I change firmware from 1.0 to 4.3 it’s requares reconfigure everything. First, found and write carrefully version of firmware which you have how and make backup from web interface, if something goes complettely wrong, you will be able to restore. Make screen shots of all VTO settings from web interface.
Find and download latest firmware from Dahua or partners sites, it’s can be a problem, I found firmware for my VTO in FTP: ftp://ftp.asm.cz/Dahua/videovratni
But you can try first the Dahua site
When you will need Dahua Toolbox which you can download here.
I use this video for configuration of my VTO/VTHs and this instruction for updating.
