ONVIF camera

matt2005 · November 26, 2017, 10:29pm

that’s odd it shouldn’t be using zeep, i suspect there are some left overs from the zeep version of the onvif module.
Maybe try pip uninstall onvif?
i’m not sure how to do this on hassio, as I usually just backup to tar then reflash, then copy the tar into /backup then restore.

bueller · November 26, 2017, 10:32pm

I’m actually on a docker container for my implementation so not sure if that matters. I did try to run an uninstall for onvif and got this:

/usr/src/app# pip uninstall onvif
Cannot uninstall requirement onvif, not installed

matt2005 · November 26, 2017, 10:40pm

I’m using hassbian and hassio running in docker on debian desktop.

    pip uninstall onvif
    pip uninstall onvif-py3
    pip uninstall zeep

bueller · November 26, 2017, 10:48pm

I was able to uninstall onvif-py3 (though that looks like it was reinstalled per the logs) and zeep and got the error below when I restarted. It looks like I’m back to the Error 400 again, but I’m definitely on the right ip, port, username and password. Any way to troubleshoot why this error when other onvif tools work correctly with the same ports and creds?

matt2005 · November 26, 2017, 10:51pm

What camera is it?
The port needs to be the ONVIF service port, this is different to the web interface. Have you tried it without specifying the port?

bueller · November 26, 2017, 10:54pm

It’s a Reolink C1 Pro. The port I have specified in the YAML is 8000 and that port gives the ONVIF XML which I believe is a strong indicator its the right port. The camera settings also specifically call this port out as the ONVIF port.

kinchyle · March 11, 2018, 9:38pm

Anyone figure this out. I have the Reolink C2 and getting same errors and same testing as bueller. I’m on HA .65

I get this in the logs

matt2005 · March 12, 2018, 10:28pm

have a look at this link reolink onvif
here is an extract from the link above

Before using it, please check the camera’s local IP address and set its profile to “Baseline”.

The errors that you are appear to be due to the camera reporting that the camera doesn’t understand the command. this could be due to the camera not fully supporting onvif or and authentication issue.

Hello @Devanl

Did you ever find a solution and got a connection?

I am getting the following problems:

Devanl · March 29, 2018, 2:11am

Haven’t looked at this for a while. Looking back through the thread now, are we testing it as a custom_component again?

bvansambeek · March 29, 2018, 6:42am

I do not think so, but honestly I do not understand what the custom_component thing was all about…
I think it is a component introduced with 0.47 (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/camera.onvif/)

ezar · April 4, 2018, 11:53am

I have similar problems using current component. We need to add timestamp ajustment: Onvif error

For that I modify default component using latest library’s because onvif-py3 doesn’t have this patch. If you want to try.
onvif custom_component

sparkydave · May 17, 2018, 12:57am

after putting this on the back-burner for a while I have just had another crack at getting it to work…no luck

cameras.yaml

- platform: onvif
  host: 192.168.0.101
  name: Driveway
  port: 554

I have used the above settings to match what is currently configured in the camera (I turned off auth in an attempt to remove any obsticles)

However HassIO takes forever to restart which becomes evident in the error log:

aidbish · May 17, 2018, 9:32am

For the life of me i could never get my dahua cameras talking to HA via Onvif
Then last week after again looking at the issue i just tried port 80 and the cameras started working.

my config for in case it helps anyone

platform: onvif
host: 10.0.0.4
port: 80
profile: 1
name: front_door
user: ********
password: *********

Tommmii · June 1, 2018, 11:56am

can this component be used to grab a still image from inside an automation ?

dragonsoul84 · July 10, 2018, 4:49pm

I’m trying to set this up as well but getting the error:

Unable to communicate with ONVIF Camera: Unknown error: Missing element ProfileToken (GetStreamUri.ProfileToken)

I am using the custom_components route. I have HASSIO installed on ubuntu server 16.04 in a VM. I enabled the logger function and it gives me a bunch of zeep errors. I saw previously that it shouldn’t be using zeep. how to I correct this.

My camera is a Reolink RLC-410 with the following setup in my config.yaml:

camera:
 - platform: onvif
   host: 192.168.1.62
   port: 8000
   name: Driveway
   username: !secret camera_username
   password: !secret camera_password

Per my cameras settings, 8000 is the ONVIF port. I have tried port 80 and the default 5000 (by not specifying a port) and it gives me a connection error so I know it is hitting the cameras correct port. Hopefully someone can help. I can only think that maybe because the camera has 3 quality settings to choose from on login (Clear, Balanced, Fluent) which affect the streaming quality, I need to somehow specify which one I want to use.

dragonsoul84 · July 10, 2018, 8:42pm

I think I solved that error, i googled the error and included onvif.py in the search string and came across a site discussing the error:
https:/github.com/quantanium/python-onvif/issues/17
I modified line 69 in the onvif.py that is in my custom_components directory to be

{'StreamSetup': {'Stream': 'RTP-Unicast', 'Transport': 'UDP'}, 'ProfileToken': 'profiles[0]._token'}

Specifcally i added the bit at the end regarding 'ProfileToken': 'profiles[0]._token'. It solved my previous error and now I get a gray bar in my UI with the camera name, but no picture, there appears to be an error regarding FFMPEG, I’m not completely sure how to set that up. I just have

ffmpeg:

defined in my config.yaml

any help would be great.

kitus · July 12, 2018, 9:45pm

Hello everyone,

I’m also struggling to have my Revotech PIR ip camera recognized and properly configured in Hassio. I’ve tried lots of combinations with unsuccessful results. I’ve also used ONVIF Device Manager for spotting the right URL and not even then have I managed to integrate the stream into Hassio. If I run VLC on a Windows machine I do access the stream. If I access the camera ip address, I can access the stream as well in the embedded website.

Any tip would be most appreciated.

Thanks

kitus · July 12, 2018, 9:48pm

I’m also confused. Have you managed to understand what is that all about?

bvansambeek · July 13, 2018, 7:50pm

No not a clue, but I do not want to work too much with custom components in the fear of them being overwritten when updating or migrating.
It sounds like you are almost there, with accessing the stream and all.
Are you on Hassio.io?
Have you added the pre-requirement ffmpeg: ?
Have you tried the Shinobi Pro addon on Hassio?
