IP Camera error

Configuration
1

Hi,

I just got into the world of HA using a RB PI3 HassBian and starting off with some IP cameras while my order of zwave devices arrives! (very exited) I have a DIY surveillance system on a windows machine using the following software and hardware. I’ve had no luck with the camera, here is the configuration and logs, maybe someone can shine some light.

Software: BlueIris
Cameras: Reo-Link RLC-410 (https://reolink.com/)

Configuration.yaml

camera:
  platform: generic
  name: my sample camera
  username: myadmin
  password: mypassword
  still_image_url: http://mycamIP/jpg/image.jpg

Are you able to see the image from a browser using URL http://mycamIP/jpg/image.jpg ?

Can you download the image from your raspberry using “wget --user myadmin – password mypassword http://mycamIP/jpg/image.jpg”

I was able to get it working by connecting to my NVR server (Blue Iris) and disabling lan credentials as it follows, where can I edit the timer between snapshots? Any idea how I can use the motion detect sensor on the cameras for other automation like turning outside lights on, while keeping the blue iris recording functionalities?

  • platform: mjpeg
    mjpeg_url: http://[blue iris nvr ip]/mjpg/fdoor

That’s not really related to home assistant, you should check your camera user guide for this kind of options.
For the second point I’m affraid it won’t be possible.

I have this camera. The URL for jpg snapshot explained in the FAQ.

https://reolink.com/faq/get-url-of-jpeg-image-captured-reolink-camera/

(I tried the URL and it does work) However, I use zoneminder to stream the h264 . (I haven’t yet integrated zoneminder to hass yet.
