Has anyone been able to get the hikvision (or rebranded laview, rca, etc) doorbell camera working with the hikvision sensor component.
I have 4 cameras that I am able to use the motion and line crossing alerts, just fine, but the doorbell not so much.
It does show up as a sensor, but does not work.
My log gets flooded with this

I am able to use it as a generic camera, but really thought it might be nice to trigger something based on the motion sensor.
I belive the hikvision component has not been updated in quite a while, so maybe its just in need of some work??
Of course if others are successfully using the motion sensor, it might be me
bump. Just wondering if anyone was using this or any of the rebranded (RCA, laview, etc) models of this doorbell and if anyone had any success with the motion sensor. Still a no go for me
I get that, I’ve seen others use blue iris too. I was hoping to get it to work with just the native hikvision component. I dont do that much with my cameras. I have a NVR with 4 cameras plus the doorbell camera. The other 4 work just fine, line crossing, motion etc. The doorbell does work as just a generic camera, which is good, Just never got the motion part working. If possible I just want to avoid the overhead and maintenance of another piece of software
I’ve been using it for nearly a year. It works good overall. Before HA I felt like it was adequate. The only issue left with HA is the motion detection.
Thank you very much. I’m running in a python VENV, no mqtt, no miosquitto, and no dockers. Sucks for me to have to add so much overhead for a single camera. It’s weird, because it does report motion events to the nvr, and the ios app. my other 4 cameras also report motion and line crossing without any issues.
I’m going to continue to play around and try to figure out if I can get this to report natively. I feel like it might just be a setting, firmware, or maybe I need to go through the nvr itself.
I dont have this doorbell anymore. but only because I moved. I did manage to get motion events, but it was through another integration. I think in HACS.
