Generic Camera EverFocus ECOR264

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get two channels from my EverFocus ECOR264 DVR into HASS using the generic camera feature. However, I can’t seem to get this to work. I was able to get this to work under Vera so I know it’s possible. Here’s my configuration:

#NVR Cameras
  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: http://192.168.1.9/m/camera2.jpg
    name: Garage Camera
    username: admin
    password: !secret nvr_password
    authentication: basic

If I go to that URL in a browser and provide the username and password I get the snapshot of the channel. However, in HASS I just get nothing. So I’m a little confused.

Thanks.

for my generic camera. I use like this to get image render all the time.
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
camera:

  • platform: generic
    still_image_url: !secret office_cam_ip
    name: Office Camera
    limit_refetch_to_url_change: false <=== this will refresh to get render image.

So I added the limit_refetch_to_url_change: false and still get a result of image not available unfortunately.

you want to get just the image (like snapshot) or the live camera to show on frontend?

this link might help. To see the live camera through web browser. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27210061/Viewing-an-Everfocus-DVR-through-Web-Browser.html

Both actually. In the URL above I do get a snapshot of the actual image and of course if you refresh that page you get a frame a second. I guess I will dissect the Vera plugin that is working to find out what URLs it’s connecting to and might need to do something custom here.
