I would like to give your add-on a try, but is it possible to run it standalone?
For people that run their homeassistant in docker instead of HassOS like me 
?
yes, scroll some post up, someone created a mqtt version of it
Thanks! Sorry, I also saw this question was already asked

@pergola.fabio great job. Congratulations.
Iāve spent several hours reading this whole thread trying to get some ideas. I have the following units connected by rj45/PoE:
- 1x DS-KH6320-WTE1 Firmware_V2.2.2_221223
- 1x DS-KD8003-IME1 Firmware V2.2.62 build 230110
I use OpenHab (not HA) for home automation but Iām trying to understand if some of Fabioās developments can be usefull to me:
- Stop ring bell: I have a zigbee contact sensor (used to switch on lights temporarily at night when door is open). I want to use this device to trigger a rule (sorry, OH terminology) to stop the ringing. Can I use
hik_isapi_callsignal.pyfor that ? Currently ringing is set for 10 seconds (the minimum), which is acceptable, but if would be preferrable to use the contact sensor to stop it (so that ringing is also stopped on my mobile phone) - Extra bells: even though I use Hik-Connect, so I hear the door bell when Iām in the garden, garage or basement, not all people at home uses it so I would like to use the ādoor button pressedā event to trigger another rule (to activate secondary bells). Can I use
hikvision_register.pyfor that ? OH has a Rest API and I already use it to feed sensor data (grabbed in python scripts) to update values in OH - Motion detection: can I use
hikvision_register.pyfor that ? I currently use a zigbee sensor but would like to try motion alerts provided by the camera (in case I can setup the area, which is another problemā¦)
Hi, yes to drop call, you can indeed use the callsignal, it sends an isapi commabd to indoor ā¦
For motion or extra calls, you can uwe the docker addon , if you scroll above, someone created an mqtt docker of itā¦
The register script, that one is needed for sip purposes, skip that one
Hi . Sir . I try to understand. But I donāt. Can I pay you 100ā¬ to help me add my DS-KV1102 to home kit please? Or anyone can help me please

Hey, I have created an addon, that exposes all sensors, for video, you can use the generic camera stream that you can expose to homekit
Thanks, I will try that
The MQTT route is definitely the way to go, but I donāt want to use docker. My NAS never had an unscheduled stop since I removed docker support so Iām reluctant to enable dockers again. I will wait until there are non-docker options.
I thought that the idea of that script was to simulate a secondary indoor station. I donāt need to handle the call, I only need to be notified that a call exists.
Yes, the script is indeed to simulate an indoor, so yes, you can use it also for callsensorā¦ But not for motion eventsā¦ Motion is not part of sipā¦ So you need to use the SDK or use the rtsp stream and integrate in some other surveillance system, I use Synology surveillance, and I capture motion there
Obviously not, my fault to ask.
Isnāt that CPU consuming ? Iām using the RTSP stream in OH (for video surveillance of my front garden) and itās possible to link with ffmpeg to detect motion but Iāve seen several warnings about cpu utilization.
The problem is that the SDK from Hikvision is limited to some OS, thatās why itās also an addon for home assistant and not an integrationā¦ thatās why itās a dockerā¦ But if you run openhab on debian/ā¦ You can just run it without docker offcourse
No not consuming at all, I have 8 cameras in my Synology, I donāt notice anything on my networkā¦
But use the SDK for motion, it runs quite good and not CPU hungryā¦ you donāt need docker to run the SDK, just an supported OS to run the script
Just tested hik_isapi.py and failed. Iām using a QNAP NAS, so probably the SDK is incompatible.
Yes, SDK is limited to OS, you need to use debian/ubuntu/opensuseā¦ Or use docker
What firmware are you running on your ds-kd8003? Any chance you are still below 2.2.50 release?
Nope. Upgraded to V2.2.62 build 230110 yesterday, before starting to read this thread. Only 1200 posts (and several hours) later I noticed that I could no longer install the custom firmware.
Indeed
Upgraded also, but for me the SDK is the best option, as its fast!! Itās annoying you need to a supported OS to run the libraryā¦ so for motion go debian/Ubuntu way or dockerā¦ Or based on RTSPā¦The other stuff should work without sdk
how to download your addon? Thank you so much
Hi, you need to add my GitHub as a custom repository for addons, then it should be listed to install , then just follow instructions
