Has anyone had any luck in getting one of these cameras to work with HA.
Have tried all the usual settings and the gone through the database at Zoneminder but none work

Hi @Ajaxhan_Anna did your camera is still online ? I canât obtain any image with the config you gave.
core version: 0.108.6
OS version: â3.13â
Thanks
Hi all,
maybe I found something interesting for you too: I bought an IP camera called V380 Pro that at the beginning was looking useless but then I found a way to enable rtsp.
Put a file in the root of SD card called:
ceshi.ini
that contain:
[CONST_PARAM]
rtsp=1
After that my cam have the rtsp stream enabled and you can configure it easily in HA.

Yep. Its still running. How about you?
Sorry. Iâm busy lately.
Thanks
What do you mean with is still running, yes that configuration is working smoothly.
Information from https://community.netcamstudio.com/t/fentac-v380-connection/1334
I can integrate my v380 camera into HA:
System app Version: AppV380E12_PTZ_V2.5.0.4_20170912
System firmware Version: HwV380E12_WF1_PTZ_20160217
This worked for me:
https://tinyurl.com/yavnpbdg - This is an update patch
Port 23(Telnet) /itâs not working for me/ and port 554(rtsp) need to open.
1.- Unzip the patch zip
2.- Copy the files to the root of the microSD
3.- Restart the camera
4.- Wait until the update finishes, listening if you have a horn or watching the LEDs
5.- Delete the SD update files
HA config:
camera:
- platform: generic
name: Streaming Enabled
still_image_url: http://192.168.0.241/jpg/image.jpg
stream_source: rtsp://username:[email protected]/live/ch00_1
P.S. You can check the stream link (rtsp://username:[email protected]/live/ch00_1) in the VLC player.
Ive tried but no result. i did what you have told but still it does not work.
please assist
Could you update the camera with this patch?
The camera says something in chinese
Thanks for the fast respond. Iâve tried several times until my on/off button came off. i cant get the stream link. but using v380 software it works. thanks
Could you open the 554 port on the camera IP?
How to do that?
im a new to this my camera.

The port forwarding is in your router setting.
For example https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide/
You need to check your camera IP address in the router and then you can open the 554 port in your router based on this instructions
oh. thank you. I did port forward but still no respond.
anyway thank you very much for your help.
I gave up.
im using esp32 cam with home assistant.
thank you again
Finally with success over v380 camera. now im running on zoneminder.
thank you
Thanks! It helps me. I have another cam:
I configure it only after port scanning. Rtsp works on 554 port so default link is rtsp://admin:123456@ipaddress:554/live/ch00_1
Link to image like http://ipaddress/jpg/image.jpg does not works. 80 port is closedâŚ

Reporting here the status of my V380 Pro Outdoor ONVIF 2-way sound camera for anyoneâs benefit - i will update this post as i discover new things.
1. Installation
Managed to configure it with the standard ONVIF integration from UI; the trick was to set in its configuration dialog (apart from its IP):
port: 8899
Stream_0 was ok (HD), but the auto-detected stream_1 cam up as disabled; after manually enabling it from the âentitiesâ configuration page, it worked flawlessly, with reduced resolution, as it should (hence, lower latency).
2. Streaming performance
The latency is significant, ~7sec, while in my mobile-app itâs close to ~2 sec, so i guess the later is using WebRTC (instead of ffmpg used by hass, i guess).
3. PTZ
With latest hass-containerd 2021.6.4, ONVIF has been improved not to throw any warnings.
(maybe PTZ had been recognized with previous version 2021.5.5, but didnât know how to install it - absence of warnings made my bolder).
For the PT-controls (no Zoom, my camera probably doesnât have it), i adapted the picture-elements card found at the bottom of amcrest-camera, pasted below.
Note that only move_mode: ContinuousMove is supported, both RelativeMove & AbsoluteMove issue unsupported warning-logs - have no idea how to setup GotoPreset mode.

4. Recording
Not configured yet (yet 
), therefore the middle-button, above, does not work.
I would love to record through WebRTC (see below), for lower latency.
5. Capture sound from Mic / Speak to Loudspeaker
My V380 has 2-way sound capability, but VLC cannot play the received sound-stream
Have no idea how to send sound to cameraâs loudspeaker.
For receiving the sound, iâm experimenting with WebRTC HACS integrationâŚ

Pasting below my debug logs (from 2021.5.5, with 2021.6.4 warnings have gone!), for future reference.

Great post! I could see the stream by rtsp, but not with ONVIF, using the port you refered changed all! Finally can pan and tilt the cam with your code! 
Any more progress on other features? Thanks, @ankostis !
Could you please specify if you did any changes to the settings in the camera app (V380 Pro) compared to factory settings?
Also, how did you obtain the device_id? I guess this is just the entity_id
