After the last 2 updates (2022.4.0/ 2022.4.1), my Hikvison cameras are not available anymore.
In my Synology Surveillance Station everything still works, nothing was changed, all cams are fine
In my configuaration.yaml I got:

camera 1:
  - platform: generic
    name: Hikvision
    username: eric
    password: CCyo88^BBB446
    authentication: digest
    still_image_url: http://eric:[email protected]/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture
    stream_source: rtsp://eric:[email protected]/h264/ch1/sub/av_stream

Was there something changed ?

Yes.

Sounds like your migration from YAML to the UI did not work.

Delete the YAML and set the cameras up in the UI.

Great, thank you very much for your quick help…
Works perfect now.

Good Morning @X100 I am having similar problems… but using the integration is frustrating. Did you happen to define the specifications that enable connection to the Hikvision cameras? And would you be willing to share them?

I’ve tried a number of combinations in the integration, but alas I am nowhere closer to finding a solution. Here’s the error I am seeing…

I put in Stream Source URL:
Username = eric (my username)
password = your camera password

Like:
rtsp://eric:[email protected]/h264/ch1/sub/av_stream

In the username / password textbox it didn’t work only username/password in URL

RTSP transport protocol :TCP
Authentication: Basic

After setup: In Integraties you can change the name from URL-name to a better name

It works for now…

Thanks for that, works well. I will experiment some more and see if there’s a better way to do it. Much appreciated.
