Need help with Config file #3

Open jamesngob opened 3 years ago

jamesngob commented 3 years ago

Hello there, I am a complete newbie in this Hombridge and plug-in. I have an HikVision NVR with the spec below (for demo purpose) IP: 192.168.1.105 Port: 8989 (to view the camera on Hikvision App) Username: admin pass: admin

I installed the plugin FFmpeg and hikvision However, when I copy the hikvision config, the homebridge freeze And I have not done anything yet with the FFmpeg. I guess because that I did not setup the FFmpeg plugin, the homebridge crashes? Could you please show me how to fill in the data for the FFmpeg? Thank you very much for your instruction and patience

You need to use the web portal port, which is probably port 80.

Make sure you have installed the "npm install -g hap-nodejs" in the terminal window in the portal (click 3 dots on top right and click portal).

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

Have you tried configuration from the README at https://github.com/eu-evops/homebridge-hikvision?

devil-warrior commented 3 years ago

I have tried using this and I can’t see the cameras in home app

{ "platform": "Hikvision", "host": "192.x.x.x", "port": 443, "username": "admin", "password": "mypassword”

I also tried port 80 and didn’t work.

I can only see the existing devices in Homebridge accessories. Do I need to configure FFmpeg?

I can see the last 80 lines of log and didn’t see any error.

@devil-warrior: Have you installed and config "Homebridge Camera FFmpeg" plug in yet? This plug-in will enable each individual camera to be streamed on the Homekit App (via homebridge-hikvision plugin) Details are here: https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg The one you did is for the NVR, not for the individual camera It needs both plugins to work

Hey mate,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I did add it in this below and I can see the camera in the home app but not available.

Do I need to add channel number and things like that after the port number in "source"?

I am just a newbie and sorry for asking silly questions.

"name": "Camera1", "videoConfig": { "source": "-i rtsp://192.168.x.x:554", "maxStreams": 5, "maxWidth": 3840, "maxHeight": 2160, "maxFPS": 60

Hi James,

Just to give you an update. I did try the link and it still doesn't work. It seems like a setting needs to be changed in NVR to allow for RTSP because i tried the RTSP with VLC and I couldn't get it to work.

Google search suggested that encryption needs to be turned off or use a different rtsp link. I am asking the supplier to provide an instruction.

will keep you posted.

Cheers!

Yes, you need to enable the rtsp services in the NVR itself Typically, on newer NVRs, this RTSP services is located at: Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Network Service > Enable RTSP You may post your NVR model number and the firmware version so that other people may jump in to help Also, for the encryption, at the moment, the FFmpeg plugin only work with H.264 encoding, so if your NVR quality setting to enable H.264+ or H.265, you will need to modify that back to H.264 Lastly, on your last config, the resolution seems to be too high...

devil-warrior commented 3 years ago

Hey mate,

I really do appreciate that you are helping me.

to give you the answer - yes RTSP is enabled.

My NVR model number is 7608ni-i2/8P and Firmware version is V4.22.000 build 200418.

Now I change it back to H264 and VLC is picking up something and please see the attached.

the config has now been changed to 1280x720

still not working in HomeKit though.

Please see the log. I have tried 101 as well and didn't work.

I am just wondering if there is anything to do with the channel set up. all my cameras feeds are set up with channel 1. I only got 2 at the moment and planning to put more in a few weeks. see the attached.

No, your camera channel looks OK

Check if your username and password is ok to view live?

And also, maybe check the port number again in your NVR. Typically, the default port for RTSP is 554 but it might be different in your settings. You will find these info under Configuration >Network>Basic Settings>Port

In your log, it maybe like this:

"source": "-i rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.248:554/Streaming/Channels/102"

--> Try this with VLC player first. If it works, it is OK for the FFmpeg

Try playing with the resolution and bitrate. For camera setting in the NVR, I use the followings setting for my 16-channels camera.

Stream type: Main Stream (Normal) Video Type: Video Resolution: 1280 x 720P Bitrate Type: Variable Video Quality: Medium Frame Rate: 15 Max. Bitrate 399 Video Encoding H.264

Stream type: Sub-Stream Video Type: Video Resolution: 640x360 Bitrate Type: Variable Video Quality: Medium Frame Rate: 10 Max. Bitrate 199 Video Encoding H.264

Maybe post your sanitized homebridge config file here as well (please cross out/replace any private info such as IP address, password, etc...

devil-warrior commented 3 years ago

please see the config

        "name": "Camera FFmpeg",
        "cameras": [
            {
                "name": "Front yard",
                "manufacturer": "Hikvision",
                "model": "xxxx",
                "serialNumber": "xxxx",
                "videoConfig": {
                    "source": "-i ***@***.***

/Streaming/channels/102", "maxStreams": 2, "maxWidth": 1280, "maxHeight": 720, "maxFPS": 30 } } ], "platform": "Camera-ffmpeg" }, { "platform": "Hikvision", "name": "Hikvision", "host": “192.168.x.x", "port": 443, "username": “myusername", "password": “mypassword”

The problem is I couldn’t even get it streamed on VLC player. It is distorted.

I have now reduced the video perimeters like yours and still not showing anything.

appreciate your help mate.

Cheers!
