Hikvision doorbell and camera

I have the DS-KB8112-IM and have been busily familiarising myself with that.

This is the way I got streaming working:

camera 3:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    input: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101
    name: Front Door


ffmpeg:
  ffmpeg_bin: /usr/bin/ffmpeg

I have had very little luck with the ISAPI interface. I am starting to realise that the marketing material is misleading, and that you really need to get an indoor station for this model at least.

Using ISAPI I can get some basic information, and am able to send a reboot command - but most commands from the Hikvision ISAPI manuals are met with HTTP 404.

Not even the Binary Sensor works - I get 404s all through the logs.
