Imou IP camera configuration (always inactive)

Did you find anything? I’m trying to get IMOU Cue 2 working. It works with the RTSP stream but no still image found…

Did anyone find the still_image_url? :frowning:

I don’t have this camera myself (but considering a purchase).
I have found suggestions of these URL’s for still image:
http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?1
http://admin:[email protected]/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=admin&loginpas=admin

Would be great if someone could test and report back before I order one of these cameras… :slight_smile:

hello! sorry i’m new to this system, i come from Openhab…i’m trying to add my imou webcams, but i don’t know where to put your code. can you guide me step by step where to insert the code and try to make my cam run ?

thanks!

Check the camera related integrations, if one of them supports your cameras. FFMPEG and ONVIF are good candidates.

Better with ONVIF, it’s the way I configure it.

Configuration - integrations - new integration - onvif

You need to know:
IP (192.168…)
Password
Port

Perfect! That’s what i needed! It works!

Hi, can you share your stream url, i cant get mine to work.
Do you know the default user/pasw to be used for the cams?

Not a URL, I use the ONVIF integration, and it discovers the IP automatically, so it’s basically to go to configuration - Integrations - ONVIF and select the Imou (called Lechange for me) and clic OK.

Hi guys,

Do you have motion detection in HA from this cams?

Thanks

Not on HA, just in the camera app.
For now I don’t have a PTZ control on HA or anything but the video itself

Hi,
with the Imou Looc v.2 the binary_sensor motion alarm was created by the ONVIF integration but it is not working…no motion alarm.
Any suggestion on how to fix it?

Check camera setting, i belive motion detection not configured

I have not got IMOU camera’s, but they are made by Dahua if I recall and Dahua needs to have the IVS setting turned on in order to activate motion events over ONVIF.
In the Dahua firmware it had a weird setting name called in Settings called Event → Smart Plan, even though it was not a plan of any type.

There’s a new Dahua integration (on HACS) and they are working in motion detection / PTZ controls for Imou cameras.
It’s not completed, but stay alert and try to follow the thread

Hello, I have an Imou Bullet 2C camera, I manage to configure it on ONVIF from Home Assistant (LECHANGE also) but I don’t have a video stream.
I put my Ip address: 192.168.1.xxx port 80 and I tried with the password on the app and the one on the camera, unfortunately no video stream. Can you help me please? Thank you

For me it was not the password that I selected on the app, it’s an internal password of the camera, and I think you can’t change it

Hi, how did you find out the password and the other things to put in the ONVIF Integration? For me when I try to auto discover the cameras it does not find anything :frowning:

This is what it asks me to input

Hello,

I can’t add my cam (Imou Ranger 2C) with HA integration. Each time, I have the message “Username, Password, or Address is wrong.”
It’s works with ONVIF integration.

The password is the safety code written under the camera.

Thanks for your help.

Below the camera, sometimes behind it
