Surveillance camera (Lupus LE228) Snapshot

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get a snapshot from my security camera (Lupus LE228) via the url provided by the manufacturer:

http://BENUTZERNAME:PASSWORT@ip-der-kamera/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?

However, I can’t get access to the camera via the URL. I have checked all firewall rules and there is nothing blocking that traffic. I’m at a loss as the support only repeats themselves saying that the url is the correct one. I have checked my credentials endless times and they are correct.

Maybe someone came across this problem too and can give me any hints.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

dunno if you found a solution for this. I have bought some LE202 WLAN Cams, the syntax should be the same. I have successfully included the cam(s) in HA.
There are two ways: MJPEG Camera (poor quality, high CPU) or generic Camera (better quality, sometimes laggy).

MJPEG:

http://IP/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?subtype=1 (second/ extra stream!)
http://IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi (snapshot/ picture mode)

Generic/ RTSP:

http://IP/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi (snapshot/ picture mode)
rtsp://IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 (first HQ Stream, you should alter the resolution an bitrate in the webif of the cam, i have 1280(1,3MP))

Username and Password must be provided as “digest”. rtsp streamtype is http!.

RTSP config:

Be aware of the fact, that when you integrate the cam in a dashboard the first ~5 sec. will show a snapshot! After this time it turns to live video.

Actually i´am playing around with the http/ API calls for activating recorder, motion detection etc. via http call statet at the lupus FAQ´s
Users which are aware of coding integration should easily build one i actually do not know :roll_eyes:

Would post more than one picture, as i´am new i can not :slight_smile:

Picture of Dashboard integration. It works very well!

Hey, I managed to get access via the ONVIF integration which has the benefit of having all entities the camera provides in HA as well.

I am not able to call the snapshot url successfully besides having contacted the support (which was unfortunately useless as they just repeated that it is working in their test environment). I manage to find a workaround with a blueprint discussed here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/send-camera-snapshot-notification-on-motion/254565
