Add live view from Hik-Connect connected cameras
I would love to implement it, but I haven’t reverse-engineered the protocol yet (lacking time).
@tomasbedrich what about RTSP stream? Or you're only talking about cloud based live stream?
I'm only looking for cloud-based camera stream. My goal is to mirror functionality available through Hik-Connect mobile application.
Focusing of local connection, you may be interested in the official integration or this thread.
thats not added , where do you see it added? it only is a version numbering change?
https://github.com/tomasbedrich/home-assistant-hikconnect/releases/tag/1.1.1
Fix #6
Pardon guys, it's a typo in changelog. Version 1.1.1 fixes #16, not #6. No sensation here.
It would be great to have camera entites created. I am looking forward to have them added, but anyway thanks for your effort!
Is any chance to add live view from camera door station ? Now i have add my camera localy by rtps but in 1 generation video intercom to view by rtsp i also myst add rtsp address to still_image_url and for stream_source. And in this configuration i can not take a snapshoot from camera when somebody was ringing. When rtsp is set for still_image_url take snapshoot is unavailable. Live view by cloud will be good to take a snapshoot. Thanks.
I don't think technical possible to capture feed from cloud, I didn't see any trace of it...
Have you tried the ffmpeg camera, as I suggested on forum? Then you don't need to define a still image... The snapshot is taken differently
No i dont try. But how put address input to configure it ? camera:
- platform: ffmpeg input: FFMPEG_SUPPORTED_INPUT
Look here for examples
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ffmpeg-live-stream-not-work/135090
Or search on the forum, examples enough
Ok added by ffmpeg and i can live view from it.... but also can not take snapshoot. File is create when run service take a snapshoot but file has 0KB and can not open it.
Yeah, seems some discussion going on forum, discuss it there... Someone claimed it worked, wait for his feedback...
Can we please keep this issue focused on adding live view to Hik-Connect?
I followed the instructions at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic/#secured-access-to-the-camera and was able to get a camera view in the UI. Would be nice to get the config folded into this though, rather than needing manual setup.
That's not related , that url is local access, while this integration is based on hikconnect cloud

But my cam don't have address to still image
hey @tomasbedrich , i found this..
https://github.com/ACKspace/hikkup
maybe it can be used to intecept the camera traffic? maybe also other stuff, so you dont need polling anymore?
Hi @tomasbedrich good job, unlock button and call status work like a charm !
Is there any way finally to display camera like within hikvision app ? My camera is not connected to my LAN unfortunately but i can access the video intercom (indoor station) IP I see many cameras available as a device using your integration, but there is no entities linked Thank you :)
@barcus if you can access your indoor station via LAN, use the solution provided by @pergolafabio - this way you can get both unlock and camera steam.
otherwise, we don’t have a video stream available from cloud yet
Hi @tomasbedrich , thanks for your work on this. I am from a research facility and we plan to use hikvision's solar panel cameras to monitor a remote field site with the 4G backup option. I've registered the devices and have been able to access list them using using your package here. Do you have any further information on how we might be able to implement viewing/downloading image snapshots?
I had a go at guessing API endpoints (or the location of the OpenAPI.json file) and didn't have much luck.
It's not possible using hikconnect, it's a unofficial API... It probably only works local by using rtsp streams
They probably work with webrtc and tokens, as we don't have
Thanks @pergolafabio .
Sorry for the off-topic follow-up, but another option I considered is spinning up my own version of the Cloud Storage Solution . It seems on the device I can configure a custom server address and access id / key, which sounds like potentially S3 protocol, but I haven't been able to confirm.
yeah, i think thats indeed possible, there are API listed for that on the tpp website: https://tpp.hikvision.com/tpp/IntegrationCenter
Thanks and good job @tomasbedrich. Do we have any clues about the API endpoints used for streaming the camera feed?
If not, could you please detail how you found the endpoints you've already implemented?
