I want to change my security camera system for a 100% local usage.
Actually i use Arlo system which depend on cloud and is very expensive.
I’m looking for cheep security camera and no cloud at all.
My dad gives me an Yi 1080p to test it on Homey. The Yi has the Yi hack with a lot more tweaks.
I activated Onvif support and use the app in Homey.
Worked fine except for mouvement notifications, don’t have the flow for that, don’t understand why.
I’m also looking for a Tapo C310 but not sure it will work.
Any idea or suggestions ?
Thanks !
These are the Onvif triggercards for both my (different) noname el-cheapo cams.
How does it look at your Homey?
Sabotage alarm goes on
Sabotage alarm goes off
Movement sensor goes on
Movement sensor goes off
Movement active
Movement inactive
Snapshot available
Movement snapshot available
Unfortunately the camera is not reporting any motion detection options. So either the camera does not do motion detection or it doesn’t report motion via the ONVIF protocol.
Yes the camera do motion detection but not with ONVIF unfortunately.
But i get notification with MQTT now.
I still can’t find a 100% cloud/closed-app free solution.
I need to see the direct video in an app (local/internet), see the recorded video (sdcard or nas storage) and get motion/sound detection in Homey.
Maybe should i try with a Raspberry/HomeAssistant solution ?!
Maybe i can use a NVR compatible with wireless rtsp stream ? Can it does the motion detection and report it with ONVIF or MQTT ? My plan is to handle 10 cameras at the end.
I have the Tapo 210 and while it supports Onvif it does not support streaming a picture and therefore you won’t see any pic or video in Homey.
I think this is valid for all Tapo cams
Could you give some examples of how you use them? Flows? Do you get images?
I have managed to connect the c310, but that’s it. I’ve tried to set up notifications and to push a snapshot but I get nothing.
