I’m considering switching from Blue Iris to Milestone as a VMS… long story, not very relevant except that Blue Iris is closely integrated with HA, and I do not see anything about Milestone.
All I want is to display the Milestone web view on a chromecast, I do not care about alarms, etc. So maybe this is more a media player question.
The web screen from Milestone is accessed with a username and password, either basic or integrated (windows). It does not, however, appear to permit the user/password to be in the URL (user:pass@ format), but rather pops up a login screen.
I have yet to find a way to permit anonymous login for the web client.
While I can access individual cameras directly, the matrix view or cycle view that is very valuable is easiest if I can get to Milestone’s web client.
Anyone have Milestone experience in getting this to work?
Sure, though they do not offer much support to free users. My question may have been worded badly – does anyone have experience getting any sort of integration to work with Milestone, whether through media player or some other HA mechanism? I don’t want to recreate a wheel if one exists.
One thing I might add that may help others - Milestone has an “Open Network Bridge” that looks like it may serve this purpose, and the web site (as of this writing) says no license required, however after installing and trying to run it, it aborts saying it is available only on the higher end XProtects, not the free one.
