Need help with installation on homebridge

[turbidWaters]

Hi I have been using homebridge-camera-ffmpeg. I came across your plug-in searching fo hikvision.

I want to help my brother, who has a hikvision system but does not have the facility to open ports on his internet connection. So, I am planning to get him a Apple Tv+homebridge so he can monitor his cameras when outside the house.

Can you please help me with installing this on homebridge? A sample config.json would greatly help.

Thanks in advance.

[elfive]

based on the code, configure should be like this(may not correct):

{
    "platform": "Hikvision",
    "displayName": "Camera 1",
    "channelId": 1,
    "username": "YOUR USERNAME HERE",
    "password": "YOUR PASSWORD HERE",
    "host": "YOUR CAMERA IP ADDRESS HERE",
    "secure": false,
    "hasAudio": true
}

but, after configured the config.json, homebridge crash and restart continuously with the error log below. so i think currently this plugin may still under development and not usable.

Thanks @elfive

This error

[10/12/2020, 11:14:16 AM] Error: Cannot find module 'hap-nodejs'

Can be mitigated by (I think)

npm install -g hap-nodejs

I dont have the time to experiment right now and I am not good with tinkeing around with code.

Will try to attempt an install in the coming weekend anyway.

Hi,

let me know if you got anny luck :)

[kravena]

Was getting the same error, performing the "npm install -g hap-nodejs" from the terminal window in the portal resolved that problem for me.

[camorobot]

Ey just try it with the ffmpeg plugin

This config is working for me:

{ "platform": "Camera-ffmpeg", "name": "Camera FFmpeg", "cameras": [ { "name": "Camera Achter", "manufacturer": "Hikvision", "videoConfig": { "source": "-i rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:554/Streaming/Channels/102", "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@IP:554/Streaming/Channels/101", "maxFPS": 25 } } ] },

[sponte]

Apologies for not responding earlier, but all github emails were going into my spam folder :(

Anyhow, please let me know if the issue is still present @turbidWaters. Latest version of this plugin should not be dependent on hap-nodejs anymore.

[MykolaDiachok]

Hi, @sponte! Yes, the issue is still present, and after added npm install -g hap-nodejs

[tstordyallison]

Yeah, same - I just installed this and ran into the same thing. A quick npm install -g hap-nodejs fixed it.

Actually, then I got:

    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

So I assume whatever version of hap-nodejs I got as 'latest' wasn't quite right. Will have a bit more of a dig.

Fixes the above, and a bunch of other small tidy up bits.

Hi all,

Was wondering if you could point in the right direction here. Trying to install the Hikvision plugin and this is the first plug-in that I'm installing on Homebridge.

I'm getting the below error in the logging window of Homebridge; Starting to advertise 'Homebridge 8378 CA55' using ciao backend!

Would anyone have any idea why I'm getting this error?

I'm also not sure on the dependencies, which is the below code;

sudo npm install -g homebridge-camera-ffmpeg @evops/homebridge-hikvision --unsafe-perm

Does this need to be run in the directory of where the .yml lives for Homebridge?

Thanks in advance.
