IP Camera Controller (Dahua & HikVision)

[nayr]

Goal: Turn your Dahua or Hikvision Security Cameras into Domoticz Motion Detectors, along with Alarm Inputs and Video Tampering.

download/source: https://github.com/nayrnet/domoticz-ipcc

Rebranded Manufacturers that might work: QSee, Swann, Lorex, Foscam, EyeSurv, and more.. many vendors simply rebrand Dahua and HikVision products so do some research to find out who really made your camera.

Event Features:

• Video Motion Detection
• Alarm Inputs (Dry Contacts)
• Video Blank, Video Loss Tamper Devices

What it does: Maintains an open connection to your camera's alarm stream, any alarms that are set off are instantly transmitted to Virtual Motion Detectors and Contact Switches within Domoticz.

How its implemented: NodeJS and MQTT, it also exposes the raw sensor data via generic MQTT (no json) so it can be integrated with other platforms easily as well.

Will it run on Windows?: No, requires a unix tcp sockets to quickly detect a network problem and try to reconnect.

To Do List:

• ONVIF Profile S Cameras
• PTZ Commands
• Alarm Outputs
• Day/Night Profile Switching
• Wrap Up HikVision Support

I dont have any Hikvision cameras but I know they are very popular, so I was scoping out there API docs and it looks like they have an alarm stream much like my Dahua's.. so I am trying to arrange to get access to a Hikvision camera remotely so I can add support for both vendors.

I must say that I'm very excited about your nice project. While waiting for the Hikvision code to become ready I've prepared a little bit.

Does the the following MQTT configuration suit for domoticz-ipcc? Thanks!

yep

[Minglarn]

This is getting better and better!

Keep up the good work nayr! Cant wait for the HikVision code!

[BakSeeDaa]

Me too, I'm also waiting. I have 5 of those Hikvision cameras now.

[HoLeeShiet]

great! I also have Hikvision cameras and would love to try!

Has anyone succesfully use this with Hikvision? Does it matter what model of Hikvision you have?
Is it possible to have Hikvision camera switch on a group of lights when motion detected? If yes, how should the script look like?

Hi Ryan!

Did You ever get access to a Hikvision camera remotely? Since I have a couple of them, I can set up remote access for You. Please let me know. Please also say if You think there is any other way for us to support this project. I'd be happy to donate a crate of beers or whatever Your work is worth a lot for me.

someone got any progress with this?

im looking for a way to use my cam's for motion detection..

but all my cams are conected to an linux NVR (so the cams are in separated network ) but the nvr is in my network.. i would like to be able to trig a json link or something from the nvr.. so the nvr tells domoticz there was movement at a certain camera (its the camera that tells it to the NVR.. so now i woul like the NVR telling ti to Domoticz .. its linux.. so should be possible no? its an: Hikvision DS-7716NI-SP

In hikvision you have something like 'notify surveillance center' when selecting this its possible to send notification to the hikvison app on your android phone.. wouln't it be possible to make some 'surveillanc' center' on domoticz? and then when you enter the ip of domoticz into the ' notify surveillance center ip alarm' those notifications appears in domoticz (so this way a switch can be linked to an incomming notificaiton from hikvisonà

Hi,

am a newbie, just followed the instructions, got everything installed.

When i run ./daemon start i get cannot find module 'node-dahua-api'

and gives errors.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Works like a charm!!!!!!!! it's Fantastic!!!!!

Can you implement ptzpresets and night/day profile by mosquito and switches in domotic?

Thanks for your effort!!!!!!!!!

I've tried to get this working several times now. Still without success. This time I stated with a clean and fresh Jessie Lite.

The installation end with the following error:

Code: Select all

If I try to start the deamon anyway, I get the same error as dilepa. Logical I gues because the installation didn't complete. Am I missing some dependancy?

With the last firmware of dahua ip Cam (09/10/2016) Dahua Node Api cant connect to the cam, i think could be by autenthication method.

ipcc for domoticz cant connect to the cam at last firmware.

With the earlier firmware can connect.

In the new firmware, dahua uses digest autenthication, Can you implementing?

Thanks!!!!

What would be the direction for the HikVision IPC's to work? I changed node-dahua-api into node-hikvision-api in server.js, but that shortcut didn't do the trick...
