IPC-A22EP-IMOU - Help needed

Hello
I've recently purchased this camera ipc-a22ep-imou (Imou brand supposed to use Dahua technology) but I'm not capable of finding the right way to add it to domoticz,
followed the proposed solutions here:
https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10028 no luck
I have tried discovery in iSpy and didnt work either...
Next, I'm trying to learn how to use nmap to discover open ports...
so far I was able to connect with VLC suing
rtsp://admin:
[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
being XXXXXX the code printed on the bottom of the camera and YYY the last digit of the IP
any help?

Hello,
On mine, I use the CGI snapshot path. Just take care that on newer devices most interfaces (ONVIF/CGI...) are not enabled by default thus their URLs will not be reachable.
For mines (after enabling CGI on newest cams) I use the usual:
http://USER:PASSWD@IP_CAM:IP_PORT:/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?
USER = admin if you did not add other users.

Thanks for your reply, just a couple of questions, do you use that URL on this exact model? and whats the port IP_PORT?
and... "enable CGI"... how do you do that?
Being PASSWORD the security code on the bottom of the cámera, and XXX the last part of my camera IP:

This is not this exact model, I own IPC-HDW4233 and IPC-HUM4231 and both behave in the same way (latest not needing any crappy plugin anymore).
The username/password are those used to connect cam web configuration interface.
On first device GCI can't be disabled (only ssh that provide a limited shell), on second this is in:
Settings tab->system menu->safety->system services
Port 554 is for rtsp and wil not work from a browser. Usually it's available without password (can be configured to use one) from VLC for instance.
There is a few Dahua cams that are only configurable from a dumbphone indeed. They may IMO be avoided (privacy, work model "few intelligence in device, all in the cloud... time it will be supported" that will limit internal configuration options) and I can't help if this is your case.
Those may show a web port from scan but http is just there for the API used by the mandatory dumbphone app: I already returned one model, don't remember the reference (this one did have an integrated PIR for more reliable detection, sad as no so common but not doing the job I expected): No way for something that must always connect outside with a mic & cam around my home and rely on an app that will not work someday after a few dumbphone OS versions.

unfortunately the camera on the topic has no web interface that I know of, If I poen the ip:80 trough browser I get a response but it's a "404 Not Found" so there is a webserver but seems nothing is on it.

So you're in the same problem I had with a K-something model (with intergrated PIR) I had to return (luckily this one was bought from Amazon, not Aliexpress, so this was not an issue) after a few tests: Could only access rtsp stream from my LAN with usual tools (VLC, web browser).
My advice: Send it back if still possible and choose another device.

Thanks, unfortunately returning it it's not an option.
Lets see if someone was lucky enough to crack this issue open.
thanks!

Did you manage to get it working, and if so how?

Imo. No way. And now all Dahua cams have signed fw so dont expect to have a device hack.
For DIY stuff just avoid their consumer grade IMOU devices.

There is no livestream, but you might get the snapshot to work with onvifsnapshot:
Code: Select all
protocol: HTTP
ip: 192.168.x.x
port: 80
username: admin
password: "code on the sticker"
Imageurl: onvifsnapshot/media_service/snapshot?channel=1&subtype=0
This works for me on my IMOU Bullet 2 cams.

Yes!! This works for me! I have looked for it for months! Thank you very much! I have a IMOU Cruiser 2 and your URL works like a charm!
