Hikvision integration as motion sensors always triggers the same sensor

drmaven · January 3, 2023, 12:25pm

I have the following typical configuration:

binary_sensor:

platform: hikvision
host: 192.168.86.94
port: 80
ssl: false
username: xxxx
password: xxx

All the cameras that have motion detection enabled are correctly created as sensors via this integration. Camera settings on Hikvision iDS-7216HUHI-M2/S(C) are: Enable Motion Detection, Notify Surveillance Center. Auth is set to digest/basic, ONVIF is disabled, ISAPI is enabled. I have tried with both admin user and a newly created ‘operator’ user with all rights selected.

The curl command on /ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream creates this output:

No matter which camera is triggered, it’s always the “Embedded Net DVR Motion 3” sensor on HA that is triggered. From the above logs, the 3 appears on all motion events.

Any ideas?

I seem to have the same issue. Has anyone replied with a possible solution or have you found one directly

Same problem here. I have three Hikvision cameras that are working correctly through the generic cam integration. However, the Hikvision integration only triggers motion on one of them.

I quit using the Synology integration because it didn’t seem to expose any motion sensor entities for my Surveillance Station cameras. My workaround at the time was to set up automations that would trigger when the camera state went from Recording to Idle. Was hoping to simplify with a binary sensor and this gets me close but doesn’t work properly on my configuration.

I am trying to get the Hikvision integration to work on my setup and have followed the documentaiton and using the NVR rather than a direct camera…

Seeing nothing in the logs and cant get it to created the binary sensors ?

Is there any info/inisights ontop of above anyone can provide ? MY NVR model is DS-7608NI-I2 / 8P
