DVR cameras integration

Configuration
1

Hi,

I am new to Home Assistant.

I have the following DVR camera system in my home: http://la.dahuasecurity.com/download/DH--DVR5104%205108%205116H.pdf

It connects to 4 analog CCTV cameras (only 1 of them with audio) .

The DVR is connected to my lan with a fixed IP and Port

I then use the following software to access the cameras through the internet:

http://es.dahuasecurity.com/down.php?file=download/481334_dh_smartpss_international_is_v2.00.1.r.20170225.zip

I would like to integrate those cameras into home assistant.

Is that possible ?
Any experience ?

Thanks!

Hi.
Have you managed to add the Dahua DVR to Home Assistant ?

Following this subject up :slight_smile:

in configuration.yaml add:

camera:
  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: http://YOUR_DVR_IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=1
    username: "admin"
    password: "YOUR_PASSWORD"
    authentication: digest

I also have a Dahua DVR with 4 cameras connected to it. I was able to see all 4 cameras in HA by adding an entry like the one below for each one.

 camera xxx
   - platform: generic`
     name: [Name of your camera]
     still_image_url: http://[ip]:[port]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=[Channel]
     stream_source: rtsp://[user]:[password]@[ip]:[port]/cam/realmonitor?channel=[Channe]&subtype=[0 - HD, 1 - low quality]
     username: "admin"
     password: "password"
     authentication: digest

Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here
in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 23, column 14

Can you post your configuration?

Have you tried out ONVIF? I use it for my Lorex system (made by Dahua) and it works well. Pulls in all the motion, tamper and alarms as sensors also.

There is a dedicated dahua integration in HACS. Works with camers, dvr’s, nvr’s, xvr’s and doorbells.

It the downloaded zip file existed it would be great
