Camera Feed Help
I'm looking at the camera feeds (ADC-V610PT & ADC-V521IR) and there are urls with a token on them. Assuming we can figure out the token and what it means and how to create it, having the camera live view may not be so difficult.
https://legacyvideostream-na01.devicetask.com/ProxyLiveVideoMobile.ashx?token=<token>
The token does not look to be standard jwt.io there are only 2 sections delimited by a .
Example of first section base64 decoded: (yes looks like incomplete json data)
{"ui":<int>,"di":<int>,"li":<int>,"uha":"<camera ip>","ico":false,"iee":false,"su":
The second part after the . decoded I can base64 decode it, but I don't think it's correct in ASCII I see a lot of ???)Ū( characters. So it is the second part I fear that will be hard, especially if it is signed with a secret key server-side.
I took some time to look into this more.
There is an api called to get all devices, which I'm sure this project already uses. https://www.alarm.com/web/api/systems/systems/<accountCode?>
Then call https://www.alarm.com/web/api/video/videoSources/liveVideoSources/
This will return the proxyUrl to get the video:
"data": {
"id": "<device-id>",
"type": "video/videoSources/liveVideoSource",
"attributes": {
"errorEnum": 0,
"isMjpeg": true,
"urlEncoded": false,
"proxyStreamTimeoutTime": 180,
"proxyUrl": "https://legacyvideostream-na01.devicetask.com/ProxyLiveVideoMobile.ashx?token=<token>",
"janusGatewayUrl": null,
I created a PR that calls the api to get the proxyUrl from the above api: https://github.com/pyalarmdotcom/pyalarmdotcomajax/pull/140
Amazing work, thanks for this! I'll work the changes back into v0.6.0, being tested here.
A few questions about consuming the feed:
- Is there audio?
- Is the token all that's required to authenticate, or are ADC authentication cookies required, as well?
- Is the proxyStreamTimeoutTime for the token's life or is it how long the client should wait for the HTTP connection to establish?
- Within the
web/api/systems/systems/response, do you see any values in the camera's manufacturer or device_model attributes that can be used to identify your camera models? Do you know whether this response format works for camera models beyond the two that you own? - How does this appear in the systems endpoint? Is it a standalone device with the type "video/videoSources/liveVideoSource", or is listed as a relationship of a "video/camera"?
Thanks again.
Looks like 5 is answered in my own post in #101 🤦♂️, along with a helpful comment by @ifeign.
Example of my browser (not showing full url or video for privacy)
1.) There is no Audio, at least my camera's don't support audio
2.) Just the url in the proxyUrl is required to view the live stream, the token does expire at some point so will need to be refreshed.
3.) I'm not sure about this one, it does time out after some time
4.) I included the device payload below, deviceModel does exist, but not make.
5.) See payload below

By making this change in the ajax project "rel_id": "video/camera" -> "rel_id": "video/devices/camera"
And making this change in the alarmdotcom project, I could see my devices listed in my local version of HA.
