ONVIF: how to switch motition detection permanently off

Configuration
1

Hello together,

I’m using an Amcrest IP2M-841B. The ONVIF integration works and I didn’t change anything in the ONVIF settings (FFMPEG settings are by default “-pred 1”). Now I have two problems:

a) the motion detection seems to be activated after some time (hours) from HA. I don’t want this motion detection, so I change this in the AmcrestViewPro app on my iPhone. Where is the place in HA to permanently disable motion detection on my ONVIF camera?

b) the Amcrest has PTZ but I can’t find an easy way to use it. There are of course some topics discussing PTZ but I need an example how to make the right configuration for this. Any idea?

Regards
Michael

amcrest:
  - host: 192.168.x.x
    username: xxxx
    password: xxx
    name: "CAM_xxxx"
    stream_source: rtsp
    binary_sensors:
        - motion_detected
        - online

Skip the integration just put this to config yaml and remove - motion_detected

You are right, this works. If possible I would prefer the ONVIF integration with the possibility for PTZ. Is there a way to do this with ONVIF?

Sorry cant help more i dont use it. But i see here that there is an option. I would try to add it manualy without installing integration if its possible? It should work and just skip the motion part.otherwise the integration doest have some settings file? I think you can open integration and just remove the sensor

Yeah you can remove the entity from the integration onvif page

Sorry for the delay. The motion detection was automatically activated again and again using the ONVIF integration. I don’t use the integration anymore and switched to the Amcrest solution. May be some day the ONVIF integration improves.
