So, I can get my Annke (Hikvision) IP cameras to show up in the motioneye addon with no issue, but the same addressing doesn’t work for lovelace. So, now I’m stumped.
For it to work in my browser, I need to pull out the credentials. If I start with the IP, in the browser, it will prompt me for the creds, and then load the image just fine.
It’s Annke, but they use the exact same firmware. The plot thickens in that I’m using the NVR. When I use the cameras alone (no NVR) on my POE switch, they work just fine and load up without issue in Lovelace.
There is something going on with the NVR that’s giving me fits.
I can get it to work in browsers, VLC, and the MotionEye addon in HA. Just not Lovelace.
The entity_id’s are there.
I do have the RTSP and WEB Auth set to Digest/Basic
One change in the firmware is that I don’t have the Hikvision CSI option to work with.
try this, as this is how I have mine set in HA, I have the 3rd stream set up and set to H.264. I also had huge issues using the HIK NVRs POE switch so I only use my netgear ones now
So, I returned the first camera back to the way I had it, and added your block to the end of my camera config, and named it NVR. (basically made a 5th camera entity)
Thank you for the help! I’m going to toy around with it and see if I can figure out exactly what made it work. I’m thinking it has to do with how the credentials are passed into it.
It only took one block to make them all work though. Interesting!
Anyways, it’s up and running and I’m very grateful! Thank you!
