Back to BI. It seems like BI have BiDi audio support. This may by a very good basis to run the intercom till Hikvision will fix the ISAPi for the 8003.
I can see the camera in BI. Now I will try to add it to HA.
Update - the 8003 mic is not detected by BI and the output is only a physical output (speaker).
Anyway, the video on the lovelace from BI loads instantly.
When using picture glance card you can get the the gate open button and the call handling.
I will try that.
Yeah, I used BI before, BIdi didnāt work
But ISAPi for BIdi works, Synology 7 supports BIdi, I have tested it beforeā¦ The only problem is, that on incoming call, the speaker is in use, so when you start BIdi, you donāt hear anything, you need to āanswerā call first, and that ISAPi command is not supported on 8003ā¦
So again, sip is the best alternative :+)
I have at home Qnap. It has a video station that is limited for free to 2 sources. I will check it out as well.
The video from the BI to the HA is supper fast. It appears within less than a second.
Can you direct me to the SIP configuration within this topic. Too many posts to look in.
Donāt think QNAP is using ISAPi on hikvision doorbells, I think only Synology is able todo it, itās a new feature on Synologyā¦ But itās useless anyway, because there is no answer button :+)
There is no direct link to SIP, itās quite basic, you can just enable sip on the doorstation, its then an extension on your PBX
OK. So can you direct me to the configuration posts up here.
I assume you use the SDK for signaling. This I will install on my BI server as it is running 7/24.
If you can send the automations etc. that will solve some time.
Now SIP, the Have you used Asterix server? If not was is the setup?
One more question. I assume audio starts only after a call is initiated letās say from the outdoor station and you inject an answer command through the SDK. Am I correct?
There are no posts here about sip, itās quite basic on the doorstation, just point to your PBX of your choiceā¦
Im now running asteriskā¦
Indeed, I use the SDK for events, and also use opensips addon as a proxy for sip, because I want to have video on my indoor stationsā¦ If you donāt have those, you donāt need it
I donāt have automations, I use the Lovelace sip card and a softphone for my androids
OK.
I will start working on it. I intend to extend my system and have 2 8003 door stations, 2 indoor station and few tablets & phones.
Thanks.
Good luckā¦ You donāt need to setup sip if you donāt want to, only usefull if you want your own sip cliĆ«nt
Thanks. I do not have much experience with SIP yet. I will do my homework.
Forgot to ask.
- Are you running the PBX on a separate machine or as a docker on the HASS?
- Which softphone are you using?
Iām running asterisk as an add-on, and using my own compiled linhome sofphone , where I inject rtsp stream as early media
Started looking into things.
1 The SDK is located in by BI PC running windows 10.
2. The HA runs on RPi (HASSIO).
I do not know how to run the SDK (I understand it is the IP Intercom one).
I do not understand how the SDK and HA communicate.
The SDK doesnāt run on RPI hardware, the addon only runs on HassOS 64 bit Linuxā¦
You can also run it on windows, but you need to change and download the SDK library from hikvision site
I know that the SDK runs on a windows machine while the rest of the add-ons run the HassOS.
I have downloaded the SDK, opened the file and run the IP Intercom package. I do not know how to run it not configure it.
2nd thing is why have you compiled the linphone for?
Can you send a UI photo of a call? I do not understand how does it look on the HA.
All the SDK scrips as example are on first post, on the GitHub pageā¦
Linphone has nothing to do with HA , itās just a sip softphone clientā¦ If you enable SIP, there is no early video on softphones , and I want to see who is at the door before pick-up , thatās why I injected manually the rtsp stream path
@pergola.fabio Would you mind sharing your modified Linphone? I couldnāt find the code in your Github account (or I overlooked it).
indeed its not there
i just used this libary: https://github.com/alexeyvasilyev/rtsp-client-android
copy pasted that code, i use linhome, its perfect solution for door intercom, more compact then linphone
What a great add-on! I had already video stream from my doorbell using Frigate so I knew somebody was in the front door.
However with this now I know when the button is pressed, when the door is unlocked and I can unlock the door. So I can trigger automations.
I only got the sdk based add-on, not the full pack, yet.
So I would like to ask, is there also a possibility to get what rfid carf opened the door, so I can trigger special automations?
Furthermore, how do you use the service call to open the door? I went to automations and added a scenario. Is that the correct way? Because I didnāt find it documented!
Thanks again!
Hi the service call to open door is documented in readmeā¦
Not sure if the RFID value is present, I do log it tough, check the addon log , there should be a line like : unlocked by ā¦
It contains some string value, if itās there I can add it as an attribute

Started installing the solution for the 8003. MariaDB is OK (opensips one). The Hikvision-opensips failed to install with non-zero return code 100.
I need help. Canāt continue.
