EZViz Camera connection to HA

I saw there’s a lot of italian people there, maybe someone have tried with the Tim Cam? I’ve 2 of them, they only use the proprietary TIM app, and i don’t know if i can directly access trough ip (tried in my home network but i receive “connection refused”).
The cam is a Ezviz CS-CV206, i think using a custom firmware or something like that since won’t work with ezviz app but only with TIM app.

I’ve succeffully configured the cam, i can see it in entity but i can not see the stream. I can only see a black window with the loading icon forever…

Any ideas?

Hi,

I’m all new to home automation and just started with Rasberry pi and Hassio.

I succeeded to get my alarm (Verisure) and outdoor camera stream (c3w color night vision) to work. However I can’t sort out how to get access to the the Ezviz setting. What I would like to achieve is to get the Ezviz into Sleep mode when the alarm is off and make it active when it’s on.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

Does the EZVIZ C2C work as well ? Or is that modell a “cloud-camera”

It should work using this integration… I still have to try

Are you using generic or ffmpg? Try both one should work, somewhere posted in this forum there is the correct rtsp link for Ezhiz cams

Hello,

I got a Niko camera which is based on the Hikvision platform (the QR code works perfectly with the Ezviz app). However, the RTSP server looks strange: there is an extra “custom” field in the WWW-Authenticate header:

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="00112a660cd0", nonce="ed3329d4f5200c61da3434dca54efffa", random="aOBvLunLxxtpwaO0NGJyNAE6FP0IIUoy/+Xj6UKzx2F30BY9za8VkgA+rxaulKx9", stale="FALSE"

I managed to write my own application as a proxy to modify the header and see the impact on the generated Authorization Digest, they are all used!

Has anyone seen this before?

I also tried the client to send me a “Basic” Authentication instead of “Digest”, and simply returned “admin:” in base64. So maybe the password is blank, or maybe they protect against this simple leak.

I give you my different test cases:

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="00112a660cd0", stale="FALSE"
=> error
=> simple realm digest isn't accepted

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="", nonce="", stale="FALSE"
=> Authorization: Digest username="admin", realm="", nonce="", uri="h264/ch1/main/av_stream", response="8c1449ff5a04a9aca295d3b6dcc70a47"

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="", nonce="", random="", stale="FALSE"
=> Authorization: Digest username="admin", realm="", nonce="", uri="h264/ch1/main/av_stream", response="8c1449ff5a04a9aca295d3b6dcc70a47"
=> if "custom" is not set, it considere as empty string

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="00112a660cd0", nonce="ed3329d4f5200c61da3434dca54efffa", random="aqqvLunLxxtpwaO0NGJyNAE6FP0IIUoy/+Xj6UKzx2F30BY9za8VkgA+rxaulKx9", stale="FALSE"
=> Authorization: Digest username="admin", realm="00112a660cd0", nonce="ed3329d4f5200c61da3434dca54efffa", uri="h264/ch1/main/av_stream", response="c65a32b8ab4f5e07f7a56560daa4d15a"

WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="00112a660cd0", nonce="ed3329d4f5200c61da3434dca54efffa", random="aqqvLunLxxtpwaO0NGJyNAE6FP0IIUoy/+Xj6UKzx2F30BY9za8VkgA+rxaulKx9", stale="FALSE"
=> Authorization: Digest username="admin", realm="00112a660cd0", nonce="ed3329d4f5200c61da3434dca54efffa", uri="h264/ch1/main/av_stream", response="c65a32b8ab4f5e07f7a56560daa4d15a"
=> invalid base64 string in "custom" field is fine, so it's probably not decoded. But it generates different digest than otherwise

Thanks!!!

Friends,
for the past week I’ve been trying to implement the C6T camera in the Home Assistant v.107.
The maximum that I have achieved is the output of streaming video and the presence of icons for control (i didn’t even tried to implement a reaction to the buttons).
But in the end, I have a very low number of frames (no more than 1 frame in 4-5 seconds). At the same time, if I output streaming video as a rtsp stream, I get video in real time. What could be the problem?
By the way i’m using rpi 3b+
configuration.yaml

ffmpeg:

I believe you will find the issue

I had exactly the same doubts. I wanted to set up Ezviz

Anything new with this one?

The camera name can be anything as far as I understand it, you choose.
For Ezviz cameras the username is Admin, the password is the “verification code” printed under the camera next to the QR Code.

Managed to get the setup all complete for my Ezviz, the only issue I have is the actual camera won’t display in a picture.entity card? I get am image to show this:

Now I know the camera isn’t truly idle as I’m viewing on the mobile app so I assume I’ve missed something in the setup that’s stopping the communication? I’ve only had the thing 20 minutes and it was all going so well!

Managed to resolve this and also stand corrected on the camera name - it should be the serial number as stated on the device. With that changed I’m all up and running and have my camera loaded into HA with full PTZ and toggle switches for features. The only thing I wish I could change is the refresh/framerate but I guess this is down to the camera rather than HA settings

Pierre, author of integration, told me almost 2 months ago that there are bugs with c6t.
And i don’t have any updates so far

What with Ezviz CTQTC

Ciao, sei più riuscito a far funzionare le cam Ezviz marchiate Tim? Se si, come? Grazie!

Hi, did you get Tim’s Ezviz cameras working? If yes, how? Thanks!

Yes but the stream was a little bit late. I ended up using kerberos.io so i can use the motion sensor too. You can set it up with the platform generic and the rstp input same in kerberos.oo

Motioneye! Solved all my issues. Installed the add on.
Added the stream urls and worked straight away. And with another make of camera. Add an iframe to the lovelace card also.
Within 10 minutes had them all set up.
