Yes, i use it and i'm able to see my camera (onvif) on ispy software and also on ispy web server like in the video that i linked.
I'm also able to catch the string sniffing the net like in the video, but when i copy and paste the sting in domoticz it doesn't work

are these camera's ONVIF ? Then it is an RTSP stream which is not compatible with Domoticz.
Solutions for this would require an intermediate system that transcodes the stream to a format for Dz.

I use a separate RPI3B+ to run Motion. (https://motion-project.github.io/)

Added advantage is that you have motion detection, screen captures and video recording etc in this app. And also, it spits out a stream per cam that is compatible with DZ if you want.

I am now at a point that I am not using the camera part of DZ anymore and run it all from Motion, with an integration of DZ (to let Motion know when to enable motion detection etc..) through remote scripts, adjusting the Motion configuration files.
Does take some time to set it up correctly (minimise false motion triggers etc) but does run well.

to close the "call home" from the Chinese cams, make sure outgoing communication from the IP's of the camera are blocked in your router / firewall.
that is the only way to kill the communication back from the camera to China.

How easy is the install on Raspberry? Just the apt-get thing or do you have to be a 'genius' on Linux :)
