Auto log-in DAHUA camera's in Dashticz not working

[dekoene]

Hi,

I have 5 Dahua Camera's integrated in my Dash. They are working perfect and refresh the images every x seconds as defined.

Code: Select all

buttons.webcam = {width:12, isimage:true, forcerefresh:true, refreshimage: 3000, image: 'http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?', url: 'http://192.168.1.130/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?'}

The only thing I have to do after each restart of dashticz is to manually log-in to the camera's one by one. I tried the auto-log-in via the snapshot URL as specified by Dahua but I can't get it to work. I tried following combo's but none of them is working:

• cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?chn=[CHANNEL]&u=[USERNAME]&p=[PASSWORD]

• cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?loginuse=[USERNAME]&loginpas=[PASSWORD]

Has anyone working this correctly? Is there an alternative?

Thanks,
Koen

Did you already test the URL directly in a browser?

Yes - thats how I tested in the first place the different URL's.

The camera has an option for 'anonymous' login but enabling that option didn't change anything neither. I'm stuck with the pop-up login boxes.

Are you passing an unencoded password in the URL? Browsers are clamping down on this. You could try encoding your password and passing that instead. Link below is what I use for my cameras.

Thanks for this info. Indeed, I noticed after some more testing that Firefox accepts this way of working (unencoded password) and displayed correctly the camera image. Chrome and Fully Kiosk don't accept it.

How can I integrate the base 64 encode in dashticz?

Thanks,

I just add my encoded password as the url's password parameter, instead of the unencoded one.

Ok thanks - I'll give it a try later today!
