Yes, tried all that already. I fear something may be missing in my home assistant because Not only do I access the steam from vlc but also from my iPhone. Only HA can’t access it neither from the standard HA with the configuration above, nor using Shinobi. In fact Shinobi does find the camera but it won’t reproduce the stream.
As I may be upgrading to the newest hassOS version soon, I have moderate hopes it will address this. I’m clueless at this point. When I suggested using the custom component is because I wanted to debug the ONVIF component, and it seemed suggested above, the custom component was the way to go.
Can anybody give me any hint on how to move forward?
One weird thing that may help spot the source of this problem. When I use VLC for Windows, I can access the rtsp stream but when I use VLC on a Mac, it crashes complaining something is not right with the sound. Does this suggest anything to anybody?
As many others, I can’t get Onvif to work.
During troubleshooting I discovered at least one thing;
Don’t use an exclamation mark in your password, this will trip the ffmpeg command in bash. Hope this helps someone.
My current state;
Using hass in py venv on rasbian stretch.
The camera is a Hikvision DS-2CD2542FWD-IWS.
You have to enable Onvif in the settings and create a specific user for it.
I can get a stream on the commandline using ffmpeg.
I can also get a stream in VLC.
I can get a picture with the generic platform;
With a user specified in usermanagement (Not the Onvif user)
Onvif is on port 8000, confirmed using desktop software (which also confirms onvif and the onvif user is working) Using other ports throws expected errors.

Any idea why it would say connection reset by peer?
I too couldn’t get my onvif camera to work using the onvif platform, but it worked in VLC.
I tried just the ffmpeg platform calling the rtsp stream (same url VLC uses) and it works. See below for my config, note the first camera commented out is the hi-res stream. My RPi 2 can’t handle it.
I tried this but I was getting an invalid login on my router IP for some reason and hassio would not start. Had to do a power reset after changing my configuration.yaml back to this:
I’m running HASSIO version 0.75.0 There have been some obvious improvements made as the error logs are quite a bit smaller. However, I’m still not able to get an image into HASSIO using ONVIF.

I’ve been able to successfully use VLC to view the video stream on my browser using the following:
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/11 (For High Quality) or
rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/12 (For Low Quality)
I don’t know if the user name or password is being passed just by looking at the log file since it only records: Using the following URL for Cam-Kitchen: rtsp://user:[email protected]:554/11.
And I don’t see how I can change to the :554/12 for the low-res stream which I would prefer to use for HASSIO reporting. The camera appears to be connecting on the correct ONVIF port defined in the camera setup setting of 8080. I’m still not getting any images in the dashboard. I’m using several FDT 7901 720p IP cameras and they are working with the VLC, my NVR using ONVIF, any mobile device, and any browser I choose on my LAN.
@daryl.sargent I was having a similar issue where connectivity was failing with 401. Since I don’t care about other controls, switching to ffmpeg to pull my RTSP feed seemed sufficient. The only thing I’d do is move input to the secret.yml file so you don’t expose your pass.
Thanks, I’m using a test system for this so I don’t care about the passwords at the moment. You are correct and I do use the secrets! for my production system.
I have scanned the camera and i have only open two ports 554 and 5000, should i try the 5000 port?
I tried port 5000 but

In case this will help someone, I have managed to get an ESCAM G01 working in HASS.IO using the ONVIF platform configuration. See below sample configuration.yaml file entry. I haven’t got Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) functionality to work yet :(. It’s WIP.
FYI: I struggled to find the ONVIF port number for my camera but managed to find a link here.
Good luck.
