I configured my HIK Vision DS-2CD2442FWD-IW like this:
- platform: generic
name: test
verify_ssl: false
# framerate: 20 ## tried to limit the framerate as well
still_image_url: "http://admin:[email protected]/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture"
stream_source: "rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554"
And on the frontend like:
camera_image: camera.test
entities:
- switch.door_open
title: Living test
type: picture-glance
But when I access the camera in chrome on my mac, or on my iphone or ipad in the Home assistant frontend, home assistant starts to stream, I do have picture for ˜10 seconds, but after that Home Assistant crashes (or slows down extremely) without any log entry.
I’m running Hass.io in Docker on a Proxmox virtual machine, ubuntu 18.04.
If I use the stream service, I get picture on my TV (Nvidia Shield Android TV) as well, but only for about 15-20 seconds, HA slows down, but does not crash.
what hardware are you running home assistant on? Did you try to lower the stream quality to see if that helps? I found that if the first stream dies, the second stream will be much more stable as well.
Similar issue here. Cameras won’t view from browser UI, but I can send streams to chromecast devices. Sending streams to chromecast devices makes the UI hang eventually with no errors.
I get the following errors when trying to view a camera from the UI. I’m using Amcrest cameras. Tried the amcrest component as well as generic camera. Same results.
Yup, still the same issues on hassi.io in docker on ubuntu 18.04, using serveral hikvision cameras. Accessing the stream shows a moving picture but causes HA to crash after approx. 5 seconds.
Nothing in the logs, HA restarts after a few minutes leaving all automations disabled.
