FTP to HASSIO #435

Closed dherkes closed 2 years ago

dherkes commented 2 years ago

I had been using the yi-hack-MStar successfully to upload clips taken by my camera to my HAS installation. All was well until I upgraded to 4.6, then the FTP just stopped working. Nothing changed on the HAS end. The user and password are the same.

I changed the way it starts. From daemon mode to crontab. It should start every 10 minutes with 40 seconds offset.

Check the following steps:

  1. cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
  2. ps | grep crond

I also found I cannot ssh into the camera any longer. Since I turned telnet off, all I have is the web UI. Shall I just reinstall 4.5 and go from there? What settings does the ftp need on the web UI in 4.6 Thank you.

Apart from the way it starts, the script is not changed from 4.5 to 4.6. You need to set the following fields: immagine

Thank you very much. I'm going to do a reinstallation to get ssh back. Works great.

dherkes commented 2 years ago

I updated to 4.7. Everything works like a charm. Thank you.

May I ask why did you change it to cron instead of starting it?

roleoroleo commented 2 years ago

Because crond is already running. I think it is more efficient.

olivluca commented 2 years ago

Yes, but it will delay the sending of the files to the server up to a minute (or up to an hour in the last released version but I manually modified the crontab). The less time it takes to upload the file, the less time the eventual thieve has to see the camera and yank it. (in fact I think that uploading after the fact is already too late, maybe there is a better way).

roleoroleo commented 2 years ago

If you have this kind of need, it would probably be better to save the stream to a dvr.

olivluca commented 2 years ago

Currently the camera is connected via cellular data so I cannot stream continuosly (a local dvr is not an option since it could be stolen at the same time). I already setup mqtt to send a picture on motion start, maybe I could implement an option to send several pictures every n seconds during a motion event.

Use startup.sh to run your custom progrmas. You could use ipc_notify command to do "something" when a motion occurs. Keep in mind that high res snapshot is cpu expensive, so slow...
