iDS-TCM403-BI(G) ANPR camera with latest firmware has no menu option to set HTTP listening! SOS!

Hence why i always go with series 7, it has everything. I always had troubles with this series. But nevertheless it has to have listener option.

If you are using .net, rather use HTTPContext instead of HTTPListener. As you can have multiple services on same port.
One reason we use httplistener is, regardless if the model it takes 1 hour to integrate any camera or hardware. we don't need to know who makes it or what kind of libraries they have. We have an application that is used for factory automation.It has httplistener that listens to every request. All we need to do is in the identification code inside parse routine, add a few lines of code that is meant for this hardware. We also have sockets that listen to incoming data and can respond using the same port too. hikvision has websockets. Not sure if we can use this feature to get plate trigger data.
 
Only data i manage to push via websockets is a stream not event. Using a proxy via my ip.

So frontend web doesnt get to see device ip address at all.
 
1 thing you can try

Add http listener data via PUT on

/ISAPI/Event/notification/httpHosts

Body

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<HttpHostNotificationList version="2.0" xmlns="">
<HttpHostNotification>
<id>1</id>
<url>/acs_events</url>
<protocolType>HTTP</protocolType>
<parameterFormatType>XML</parameterFormatType>
<addressingFormatType>ipaddress</addressingFormatType>
<ipAddress>192.168.2.107</ipAddress>
<portNo>5000</portNo>
<httpAuthenticationMethod>none</httpAuthenticationMethod>
<Extensions xmlns="urn:selfextension:psiaext-ver10-xsd">
<intervalBetweenEvents>0</intervalBetweenEvents>
</Extensions>
</HttpHostNotification>
</HttpHostNotificationList>

I used this on acs devices, might aswell work on camera.

Interesting. You mean I can configure a httplistener service using ISAPI, instead of doing it through 'unavailable menu' ?

Yes you can put HTTPListener via ISAPI PUT method. Anything you can do on web can be done via ISAPI, and sometimes even more than whats on web.

For example videointercom door station dot have HTTPListener on web interface, but i have put it this way and it works
 
update:
This is HTTPListener

Here is my Httplistener output

Works as it should. If it doesnt work for you, i would check your listener code

Final status : Spoke to hikvision guys. This model has issues with http transfer and Indian plate detection. Use deepinview 7 series, and it will get readily solved. Looks like the local guy sold me some old model he has in stock. Trying to buy other model that works
 
Hikvision UK portal has an option to check for different versions firmwares for the same camera. There, the new version firmware is available which is different from latest version firmware from other portals. Release notes file is Release note TCM403-BI_G camera_5.1.6_250519.pdf. In that pdf, it talks about a previous version. Let me copy paste test

Previous Versions and Fixes

DZP20250402249_itcm40x_g_EN_STD_5.1.6_250417
Modified Default Parameters – Multi-Way Upload Enabled by Default In this version, multi-way upload is enabled by default. With this feature enabled, the camera can simultaneously upload ANPR information via FTP,SDK,
HTTP Listening , and Hik-Connect Platform protocols. This change helps prevent issues where customer platforms fail to receive ANPR data due to multi-channel upload not being enabled.

Configuration path: Configuration > Capture > Advanced > System Service > Enable Multi-way Upload


Do you think I should upload this firmware DZP20250402249_itcm40x_g_EN_STD_5.1.6_250417 ? There is a newer firmware listed on the same page - PJ14PC20250516247_itcm40x_g_EN_STD_5.1.6_250519 . Could I safely assume that PJ14PC20250516247_itcm40x_g_EN_STD_5.1.6_250519 (2) will have same features as DZP20250402249_itcm40x_g_EN_STD_5.1.6_250417 along with newer changes? As I mentioned, latest firmware listed in other portals of hikvision has a different name - Firmware__V5.4.4_251216_S3000692059

tldr : hikvision.com list the latest firmware version different from hikvision europe. In europe portal, they provide release notes that clearly mention http listening, but that firmware is different than what global website says. Can I flash the firmware hosted by europe website? Will it brick my camera? (I already flashed the camera with firmware downloaded from hikvision.com and it doesnt have the http listening)
Personally, I wouldn't flash firmware from a different region unless Hikvision or someone with the same hardware confirmed it's compatible. The release notes are encouraging, but they don't always guarantee identical hardware revisions.
