[App] Hikvision

Which nvr are you using? And what cameras? I’m looking in to a new system. Thanks

Hi, I have the hikvision acusense outdoor camera. 4 at each corner of my house. And the cheapest hikvision acusense NVR. I use hikvision app to see the camera’s. I have a flow that warns me of movement on my driveway. Also flows when I’m not home to turn on lights etc…

At least buy the acusense nvr as this is a smar nvr which filters false errors from the camera’s.

Let me know if u need more information

The App won’t work with Homey Homey v4.2.0
Will look to update before it got released as stable.

Updated my Homey to v4.2.0-RC version and it run well. Also added new camera and does not crash. There is a error message which seems not an issue of the app itself.

Maybe a browser problem, try to pair the camera with

Hey @mapulu ,

I tried to connect my recorder with 4 domes today, but didn’t succeed.
Running homey 4.1

I can’t go further than this screen. Can’t test or pair. The buttons just don’t do anything

Am i doing something wrong?

Didn’t work on iPad and iPhone as well.

Thankyou for your work!

Strict won’t work here.

It means that the SSL certificate have to be valid. Won’t work with self signed certificates and IP.

Remove the tick after strict.

Also check the IP, local it often starts with 192. (you should also able to open it in the browser and see the camera login page)

I tried it today with a local ip adres, first I tried with my public IP. The local IP is 192.168.178.200. With or without SSL, didn’t work both. I just can’t test or connect :frowning:

Thakyou for your help!

I have also a pan and tilt (No zoom) camera (ds-2cd2q10)
of hikvision and can control the camera with relative PTZ but
Would prefer controlling the camera with predefined
Presets of the camera.

I send the following webhook to move my hikvision ptz cam to a preset:

http://user:password@ipadres:port/ISAPI/PTZCtrl/channels/1/presets/5/goto

The number after preset indicates the preset number. In this case 5.
Use “put” as methode;
fill in the url above into “url”;
Leave headers empty;
Body: {};

Good luck :wink:

Thank you very much, this works great.

Is this app also compatible with Ezviz (a brand of Hikvision) cameras? In particulair the Ezviz C6T?

Nope :frowning:
Atleast, i didnt succeed in it.

Hi Patrick, thanks for sharing this. Many thanks for your help! Regards, Aad.

Hi,
I get this screen

Using the Hiwatch NVR, installs ok and i can login and se all my cameras but when i try to watch
I can open the loginpage in my browser

Running 4.2.0 on Homey
Read that it’s not possible, yet someone has…

Any ideas what i’m doin wrong…?

Maybe not the same thing but same error:
I somehow have troubles getting snapshots from cameras which are 8mp via nvr


4mp works fine

Workaround:
It works if I connect to the camera directly.

Hi @mapulu - Do you plan on continuing developing this app? :slight_smile:

I bought an Hikvision NVR and want to add it to Homey. When adding the device the test is succesfull but homey/the app does not see the device as registered. Any idea?
I am on homey 4.2.0 and use the Hikvision DS 7604-E1/A NVR.

By the way. After homey restart the nvr was found

Or is there an api on hik-connect instead if that would be better?

I have two 8MP original hikvisions connected to Homey.

i would like to have a snapshot when our wireless bell rings. I already get a notification that there’s someone at the door. But somehow the snapshot doesnt send. if i preview the cam through homey it works fine.

I tried doing push message with picture - > and then selecting camera. is this the correct way? anyone can assist?
