EZVIZ C8C doesn't work on HA

Configuration
1

Hello Everyone,

I’m just buying a camera EZVIZ C8C but I can’t display the video on HA.
Do anyone reach to show the video on HA with this camera using VLC or RSTP software?

Thanks you for help.

To configure RTSP see instructions below;

RTSP stream from VLC player

  1. Connect to the local network
  2. Open VLC media
  3. Open network stream
  4. input the device local IP address, device username and password in the format below

EXAMPLE: rtsp://admin: device verification code@device IP address on the LAN :554/H.264

  - platform: ffmpeg 
    name: Camera 1
    input: rtsp://admin: **device verification code@device IP address on the LAN** :554/H.264

check

rtsp://admin: **device verification code@device IP address on the LAN** :554/h.264_stream

or

rtsp://admin: device verification code@device IP address on the LAN :554/channel80

configuration.yaml

camera:     
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: Test camera
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/h264_stream

Tested all these:

input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101
input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]/H.264
input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]/H.265
input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/h264_stream
input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/h265_stream
input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/channel80

no way to see the camera on HA (Chrome browser v96.0). Encryption already removed from camera configuration.
All the input strings are working on VLC.

I’m in the same state as stiwy81
I tried to install Motion eye and get link from this but I can’t see the video flow.

I tried with 3 rtsp flow :

  • rtsp://admin:xxx@IPaddress:554/channel80
  • rtsp://admin:xxx@IPaddress:554/H.265
  • rtsp://admin:xxx@IPaddress:554/Streaming/Channels/101

On motion eye I have this message : “unable to open video device”

Go to this website

Click a model to generate a URL for your camera.

Click the link that contains your cctv model. Then click generate, it will produce the rtsp link like below.

rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/H.264
 # replace DEV_CODE with real device verification code

After last firmware 230113 rtsp no more work

RTSP credentials for EZVIZ camera · Issue #86204 · home-assistant/core · GitHub which works rtsp again.

I had similar issues, not sure if you ever came right, but what worked for me was to change the camera video encoding type from H265 to H264

You can try this by the following steps.

  1. Download and install ezviz studio software onto PC
  2. edit the appconfig.ini file of in c:\Program Files (x86)\Ezviz Studio\config\
  3. add the following lines to the top of the file

[LocalOperation]
Show=1

  1. start the ezviz studio app
  2. select all devices in the bottom left and click advanced on the camera you need to change
  3. advanced is only visible after step 3 above is edited
  4. expand Image > Video & Audio
  5. Change Video Encoding Type to STD_H264 for both Main Stream and Sub Stream under Stream Type.
  6. Apply
  7. Select System Maintenance
  8. Reboot Camera

Now check if the camera works in HA
These are the stream channels that worked for me

Main Stream

  • rtsp://admin:xxx@IPaddress:554/Streaming/Channels/101

Sub Stream

  • rtsp://admin:xxx@IPaddress:554/Streaming/Channels/102
