Hi Wondering if anyone else is having trouble with yi home camera 1080p I’m using yi-hack-v3 and I constantly see a very delayed view on the camera. All I want is to do is to be able to stream the live view
camera:
platform: yi
name: Camera
host: ‘192.168.x.xxx’
password: xxx
I’ve also tried using ffmpeg arguments and using my raw mp4 path, though that only shows recorded video
camera:
platform: yi
name: My Camera
host: ‘192.168.x.xxx’
password: xxx
path: /tmp/sd/record
ffmpeg_arguments: ‘-vf scale=800:450’
Lastly I tried rtsp though couldn’t get that working, unsure if yi hack developer has enabled that feature
thanks for that tip! I can see the screen if I do this though it’s still heavily delayed. Any idea of how I can get it to live stream in HA i’m baffled
That’s probably just network lag issue that i dont know that there is anything you can do about unless you can speed up your network or the hardware you run HA in.
sorry i guess i’m confused about what you are asking/having trouble with.
The camera card only shows a low frame rate view (about 1 frame every 8 seconds on my NUC running HA in Docker). if you click on the card the window that pops up will have a “generally” live stream but isn’t blazing fast by any means (about 1 frame per second).
I don’t know that there is any way to get a better “live” view running HA. The best you can hope for is like I said before…maximize your network speed and/or the hardware HA runs on.
My camera’s use the built in Foscam component. I have mostly 720p cameras (3) and I have two 1080p cameras. I’ve never tried to use RTSP. I doubt mjpeg will be any better. I don’t know of any other way to get a full live stream in HA.
Ok. I was just trying to figure out how I could seemingly be misinterpreting what you meant so badly… I mean, I speak “American” but it is still loosely based on English.
In that case then all of the rest of my above replies still stand.
I hope you figure how to get it working to your expectations.
I have a Yi Dome Camera 1080p and got a heavy delay when taking a snapshot, and for heavy I intend two minutes!
If I call the camera.snapshot service what I get is an image of two minutes before:
Hi TheCrypt0
Thanks for the yi-hack-v4 .
i never install any camera in HA before.
i bout Yi 1080p home camera yesterday and i did as instructed in the Manuel to the 10th step, where it said
" 10. Done! You are now successfully running yi-hack-v4!"
Ok. so what next do i need to do?
in the Yi home camera component on the site, it’s said that the password needed to be change, but i dont know what’s the default username and password in order to change them when i Telnet into your camera?
i know that need to add those lines in the configuratin.yaml
camera:
- platform: yi
name: Camera
host: '192.168.1.100'
password: my_password_123
but how actually do i get to see the live stream in HA?
what do i need to add in lovelace.yaml?
Hi, apreciate your work, i’ve been waiting for a year for RTSP, but mine is not loading the hack tryed with a couple of SD cards but it simply will not load it. Should be straight easy but could not pinpoint the issue. I’ve read that it has to do with a newer stock firmware but don’t know if this is indeed the case here. 1080 Home is the camera @TheCrypt0 maybe you can help me, i have 7 of them laying around:)
i run HA Hass.io on RP 3B
i have Yi 1080 home camera and i did flush the “yi-hack-v4” on it.
i know i seceded because when i go “10.100.102.40”
i can see this:
