Instantly the still image appeared on the dashboard. For some reason, I had to go to the Security tab of all the IP Cameras that were refusing to give me a still image and re-save (writing the password in again) the Operator login password. I have these logins set both in the NVR and the IP Cameras - all the same. Taking a step back, the username and password I used for this is an “Operator” level login, not an Administrator one. stream_source: with all of this in the configuration, I was having issues with the still image showing up for some cameras and others not. If you want a lower resolution stream to help with resources, you can use 102. In the example below, it is Channel 1, Stream 1. The channel number determines the Channel and the stream for each camera. The default RTSP port is 554 so unless you changed it, leave it at 554. Do not try to change the Channel number as done for the streams as it will not work (at least on a Hikvision 7732 NVR) still_image_url: For the stream RTSP URL, the format for the Hikvision NVR is as shown below. It might be possible to change the substream to the main stream by using 1 (thus 101) but it is unnecessary as the image is just for the card so a larger image (8MP in my case) would just use more resources unnecessarily. The 102 should be equivalent to Channel 1, Substream 2. This is what determines the camera the still image is from. You will notice that each camera has a different port… 65001, 65002, 65003, etc. still_image_url: The port used for the still picture is sequential starting from 65000. This will be the same for all the cameras on your NVR. In the configuration I pasted below, replace the NVR-IP with the IP of your NVR. One might believe that stating username and password both separately and in the RTSP URL is redundant, however I have found that listing them separately is needed for the still image, while the RTSP URL needs the username and password as part of the URL. I struggled quite a bit to make a subset of my security cameras work with Home Assistant so I figured I’d share my findings as the posts I read were either incomplete or inaccurate for my use case.Īll my cameras and my NVR (7732) are Hikvision so what I am writing may not apply to you if you have different hardware.īelow is the configuration that finally worked.
