I did succed with Asterisk on home assistant, I still have to manage a way to let it connect to my Fritzbox. If someone need help just let me know, there are few details that has been quite time consuming for me. Thanks again for your support and good integration Fabio.

I’m using the KD8003 outdoor unit and two indoor stations. Several Hikvision cameras are added to that setup and I can view the live feed of these on my indoor stations. These cameras are already added to HA so if an event is detected (e.g. line crossing) I can do something with this event in an HA automation. So far, so good.
What I want to achieve is that if an event is detected by CameraXY the live feed of camera XY should be shown on the indoor station automatically for x seconds. Just like it switches on when someone rings the doorbell on the KD8003.
Could this be achieved with this integration? Thanks!
No, that’s not possible, there is an motion event, but we can’t send commands to indoor to turn device on or send camera stream…
Newer indoor stations do run android, maybe it’s possible with those, like 9310 rev B, or you need to install an Android tablet, then its possible yes
Thanks Fabio! But let’s think of the following:
- the possibility to watch the live feed of all cameras added to the indoor station is already there, it’s a built in functionality. I can choose manually which feed to watch on my indoor station (which is a DS-KH8520-WTE1/EU)
- The possibility of switching on the indoor station when an event is triggered is also already there. If someone rings the doorbell, the indoor station switches on and shows the live feed of the KD8003 outdoor station’s camera.
So internally there must be some kind of command (is this what ISAPI is for?) fired to show camera stream ABC on indoor station XY when event doorbell is triggered. At least that’s my logical conclusion which might be wrong for technical details I don’t know yet 
Those events are indeed based on SIP ( call) , I didn’t find a way to simulate a call… So I don’t think it’s possible to o wake up the device or even show the feed… Or you can maybe use asterisk for sip, and setup devices using sip, then when motion is detected, make a call to an indoor station…that should work if you can define an auto answer or something like that

Hey there,
great job this Addon !
I wonder if its possible not only stream the Video and Audio from outside but also enable 2Way audio integration.
Well I Know - people always asking for more 
I have seen possible ways for 2 way audio but all require eather https or via SIP - but there is no easy out of the box solution that works alike this ADDON - maybe its possible to add 2way audio? (Shy question?? 
)
cheers Franky
It’s documented on my GitHub how to use 2way audio, with the advanced camera card :+)

Yes, I have seen this on github - I thought https is necessary for this to work? - So https is optional? Fine, I will give it a try - next week my new postbox with integrated videosystem is arriving - I hope, I will get it to work with the new advanced camera card.
I`ll give feedback and maybe I need then help 
cheers Franky

Ciao Fabio, penso che tu sia italiano 
complimenti per il magnifico lavoro. ho seguito la tua guida e sono riuscito ad integrare il doorbell. Volevo anche utilizzare le due vie audio con advanced camera card. installo Go2RTC e vedo il flusso nell’integrazione nella barra laterale, però ho problemi in remoto, uso Duckdns e NGninx… penso sia qualche problema con ssl. mi sapresti aiutare? ho provato anche a cercare sulla documentazione ufficiale che hai linkato, ma nulla da fare, sono tre giorni che sto uscendo scemo 
Grazie in anticipo.

Have you been successful in setting up this exact device? I am also searching for the device, that is supporting SIP, local integration without indoor station and can be opened by card or PIN. I was not able to find any other than this one. But on GitHUB docs, this exact model is stated as not supported.
Hi Guys. I have an old model DS-KV8102-IP, and my wife is bugging me to have an external chime on it.
Does anyone knows if I am capable to collect the calling signal (when someone press the door bell button) from this old device? It would be enough to trigger an event in my HA and I would play any chime.
That one is indeed old, no call event… bur there is also an hikconnect integration on Hacs, that should work maybe?
I have a DS-KH6320 and DS-KD8003 and set everything up in docker containers.
I double checked everything and everything seems to be properly set. But I still can’t get the ISAPI working in Home Assistant.
When browsing to http://mylocalip:1984 it’s on video+audio but no mic.
Am I correct that mic only works when using https and that I need to set up a CA certificate? So ISAPI won’t work over http?
You mean the guide with advanced card and two way audio? Yes, https is needed with that card

Hi all,
Thanks voor the great integration!
I have a couple of DS-KD8003 and I’m using them in conjunction with the DS-K2M060 Secure module.
The door relay and door position sensor are connected through the Secure Module.
I was looking for some documentation on the Door Position Sensor but I’m not able to find anything.
Is there a way to see the status of the Door Position Sensor?
Thanks!
EDIT
Maybe I should learn how to read as the documentation has something written on this!
Let me then ask; anyone with experience on the “door not closed trigger”?
Hi all! First of all thank you for your effort. This really has made lives so much easier.
I am fairly new to HA, and I have encountered a problem, see if anyone has a fix to it, that would be awesome.
For now, I have installed a hikvision facial recognition panel at the entrance, and an intercom panel in the living room. On top of that, a physical button outside acting as a doorbell. What I’m trying to do is to link my doorbell button to active a call on the intercom from the outside.
I have tried to look into MQTT events or event logs to at ids to trigger the call but no luck. Is there any ways to call other than touching the green call button on the touch screen?
Appreciate guys

Hello, unfortunately I have noticed that there has been a problem with my doorbell since integrating my HIK doorbell into Home Assistant using this HA Plugin (3.0.22)
When someone rings the doorbell and I press open door on the indoor station, it takes almost 5 seconds for the door to actually open. Before integration into HA, this happened immediately.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
