I never had much success with this. Motioneye has plenty of functions for me. mqtt publish commands for motion detection etc. uploads to google drive also

I have the C2C models. Also planning to get some exterior ones soon. I have a couple of Scricam cameras also. You have many more settings in motioneye. Can be a bit resource heavy though.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can assit me with this error i have an EZViz camera but i get the following error

Logger: homeassistant.config
Source: config.py:415
First occurred: 6:48:26 (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 6:48:26

Invalid config for [camera.ffmpeg]: required key not provided @ data[ā€˜inputā€™]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 45).

My config file looks like this

Camera:

  • platform: ffmpeg
    name: Bedroom
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101

I have tired wrapping the ipaddress is quotes etc but I still get the above error any ideas?

input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:[email protected]/h264_stream:554

hi,

Did you make any progress on getting the feed from your Niko camera? I am trying something similar, but no luck so far.

Hi I tried this and still the same error?

I have 5 ezviz and all work well with:

  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: "Camera name"
    input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true

still canā€™t get this to work

Invalid config for [camera.ffmpeg]: required key not provided @ data[ā€˜inputā€™]. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 47). Please check the docs at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ffmpeg

ffmpeg:
ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/ffmpeg

camera:

  • platform: ffmpeg
    name: Maom
    input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true

It should be noted the command itself works ok in VLC

How are you finding the motion detection on these? Absolutely useless in my case.
Iā€™m trying the 2 week trial of blue iris.
Spent about 3 days tweaking settings for my requirements
Motion detection is an art depending on your specific area, orientation, foliage, wind etc etc
Nothing else has come close yet
Mqtt connection to nodered very easy.
Http commands from ha to control profiles. Nice,

Hi,
does the official integration or the motioneye addon also allow for sending audio messages?

I agree with you I have stated to use Doods in conjunction with Motioneye and I must say I am well impressed with Doods

Hi guys,
I have tried many things reading all your messages, but I could not manage to get the image displayed live. My camera model is Ezviz ez360 Pro

Here is my config on the configuration.yaml

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: Cam Garage
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554

Can anybody help me to get this fixed?
Is there anything to be done with the motioneye add-on, or anything else to be installed?

Thx

You can try installing Ezviz cloud from HACS here.

I have 2 cameras that were working perfectly using the above method. Now the C6N Pan/Tilt camera just quit working through that integration however I can still see the stream through motioneye. Been kicking my but for the better part of the day. Might have to bite the bullet and ask on discordā€¦ but that is never a good idea.

*Edit- restarted C6N this morning and all is well again.
