channelid: "0" eveytime

[sgoudelis]

Hello,

The alarm messages I am getting from all cameras look like this:

object
payload: true
topic: ""
channelid: "0"
zone: 0
description: "Motion alarm"
_msgid: "8bf02a97.c12208"

Any ideas what I should look at to fix this?

[Supergiovane]

Hi What camera models are you using?

[sgoudelis]

Sorry I forgot to mention, my NVR is a DS-7608NXI-I2 / 4S

[Supergiovane]

Hi Have you applied any filter on the channel/zone in the hikvision-ultimate node? I need to view your flow. Can you export the affected nodes flow and paste it here?

Ok please let me some time. Tomorrow morning once in office, i’ll take a look!

[sgoudelis]

Yeah, sure no problem

[Supergiovane]

Hello Stratos i've tested yet with an DS-7616NI-I2 NVR and the resulting payload is OK.

What type of cameras do you have attached to your nvr?

[sgoudelis]

Good morning,

I have a DS-2CD2347G1-LU and two DS-2CD2043G0-I20

[Supergiovane]

They are pretty new. Do you have updated the NVR firmware?

I need to ditch into what your NVR tells to the node via the API. If you're able to send me a log, please add banana to the end of your NVR IP.

Like this: I need either a screenshot of the debug's window or a terminal node-red text log immediately after you received a motion alarm from your NVR:

[sgoudelis]

hikvision.log I think this is what you are looking for.

[Supergiovane]

Hi exactly, but it contains only "videoloss alarm". This is not an alarm, is the Hikvision's "funky" way to do an heartbeat, telling the receiver that the NVR is alive. I need the log after you had a "motion alarm" event.

[sgoudelis]

hikvision 2.txt

I think this has some Motion alarms in there

[Supergiovane]

Ok got it. Despite your NVR tells that it's using API Version 2.0, they don't adhere 100% to it. Not so strange with Hikvision. Please let me some minutes to fix the issue...

[Supergiovane]

Hi V. 1.0.49 is out with the fix. You should see the new version in minutes. Please let me know if it solved your issue.

[sgoudelis]

I am still waiting for node-red to pick up the new version. Is there a way to trigger an update so that node-red knows there is a new version ? Or does it just take time ?

[Supergiovane]

Nope. You can only wait.

[sgoudelis]

Ok its updated. I am getting this now.

"BANANA SBANANATO XML -> JSON {"EventNotificationAlert":{"$":{"version":"1.0","xmlns":"http://www.hikvision.com/ver20/XMLSchema"},"ipAddress":"192.168.60.25","portNo":"80","protocol":"HTTP","macAddress":"44:47:cc:cf:82:17","dynChannelID":"4","dateTime":"2021-07-01T09:54:13+02:00","activePostCount":"33","eventType":"VMD","eventState":"active","eventDescription":"Motion alarm"}}"

The id (dynChannelID) 4 is correct for that camera. But the rest of the messages still have channelid 0.

[Supergiovane]

You can delete the "banana" and look at the debug node. It should be OK. Your NVR doesnt' send the channelID, only the dynChannelID.

[sgoudelis]

I deleted the "banana" string and the payload of the message looks like this:

object
payload: true
topic: ""
channelid: "0"
zone: 0
description: "Motion alarm"
_msgid: "503354bd.be950c"

I do not see anything related in the node-red console output. Am I missing something ? How can I use the dynChannelID ?

[Supergiovane]

You see again "0"? You should now see 4. I take a loog again. Be patient for a minute.

[Supergiovane]

Can you please restart node-red?

[sgoudelis]

I just did again, i get the same behavior.

[Supergiovane]

Ok. Let me some more time. Unfortunately, that's not simple to reproduce without your NVR

[Supergiovane]

Hi again. I tested again, by reproducing your message and it works. Can you please paste the content of this zip file, into your .node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-hikvision-ultimate/nodes folder and restart node-red. You should see "Stratos" after the channelID. I need to be sure you have the latest version.

hikvisionUltimateAlarm.js.zip

[sgoudelis]

I got this now:

object
payload: true
topic: ""
channelid: "4Stratos"
zone: 0
description: "Motion alarm"
_msgid: "20072864.c7e028"

[Supergiovane]

Yes, so it works. ChannelID is 4. Are you sure to have updated hikvision ultimate to 1.0.49? Here the same file without Stratos. hikvisionUltimateAlarm.js.zip

[sgoudelis]

Yeah thats weird it did not update and I thought it did because I saw the new version already installed and now I see that it did not updated earlier. I just updated and restarted and everything works fine. Thank you very much, you are a wonderful person!

[Supergiovane]

Good to know. Thank you to you for raising the issue. If you have other trouble, let me know. Cheers from Italy.
