    Is it possible to capture package and unlock doors remotely with python code?

    I’d probably look if your lick is supported by the hone automation software, ie home assistant or openHAB. Then call the unlock from there, rather than interface with your lock directly,

    Dahua DMSS App.

    I’m sure I picked this up on its preview, but it’s not a universal app, is iPhone, allowed on iPad....expecting to be stretched. Yuck. IDMSS plus, was designed for with iPhone and iPad, and adjusted size accordingly.

    Also it's not a universal app, it's phone. On an ipad it doesn't resize.

    Why do they make new apps rather than upgrades?

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    Yes I realise mqtt isn’t the best for binary data. But it does actually work well (annoying to look through the logs though. I should figure out a cameraevent to openHAB. If I can get the payload to a memory stream to image. It should work. Similar with home assistant. Ideally I’d prefer to...

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    I did start working on the media find capabilities of the NVR/Camera. I was going ot use it since I have a fairly long delay generating a snapshot ( + 5-10 seconds). And I was going to use the media find to do it. But the time after the IVS event triggers and a video/snapshot appears on the...

    I don’t use nodered. But do it with that you’d have to read the payload sent from camera events. One part is a message, the other is a base64 encoded image. If nodered can convert that to a binary then it should have a notification service with attachments it can use.

    Upload of clips - automated, private - youtube? slack?

    Of course the disagvantage of youtube is being able to lock it down enough so that none of it is public

    Upload of clips - automated, private - youtube? slack?

    Yeah i did have similar with google photos, going to an account. THe advantage of youtube/slack is you can play them there in their interfaces....and notifications.

    Upload of clips - automated, private - youtube? slack?

    I currently write a service that interacts with Dahua Cameras and posts snapshots on events...I was thinking about expanding it to take a detection clip rather than single image. Which then led me down a path of where can I be notified of a video and view it. The options I see are a private...

    Confused - Sort Of - VPN/Port Forwarding

    You can actually do what you're looking at also, ie get a virtual server (vps) and run a vpn between the virtual server and your house etc....but as area651 said, its much easier to look at setting up a vpn server at home. Some routers can do it.....if you're more diy you can do it with a...

    Apple iOS Homekit / Z-wave

    You don't need something + homebridge unless you're already running a system (vera or some such). Homebridge can do zwave I think, but I find it's configuration annoying (all one single json file). But homekit support excellent. Openhab I find it the best for zwave (and personally easiest to...

    Apple iOS Homekit / Z-wave

    Look up homebridge or openHAB or honeassistant. For getting zwave working and hooked to HomeKit, I’d use home assistant as preference of those three. Home assistant can use a zwave network and it is very good at exposing entities (the zwave nodes) to HomeKit.

    Iphone App for Dauha NVR

    How are you exposing your cameras to the internet? And what is address/server name are you connecting to when not at home? Exposing cameras to the internet directly (via port forwarding) is not recommended. There are a number of cases where cameras have been used as an extra point to the...

    Which email provider for email alerts?

    I think it does. Not sure I had much luck with it. While I'm primarily windows, I have a bunch of linux machines (Virtual machines and raspberry pis) so run postfix on those.

    Which email provider for email alerts?

    if you're ok on linux. you can put your own smtp server in (meaning your cameras have no access to the internet), and that smtp server can forward to gmail/yahoo something else. Have a look for postfix gmail relay - just make sure it's not accessible from external network

    Long Shot - Concord DVR - QV5000 - Password/system reset

    Yeah, hard to set up a VPN for someone though. I need to figure that out. Hopefully his nas will be able to do it. It’s prettty old. Or I’ll have to build a pi for him.

    Long Shot - Concord DVR - QV5000 - Password/system reset

    Yeah I was guessing that as well. I did manage to finally hear from the vendor....but while waiting I did actually manage to “break” into it using a master password. Scarily easy actually.

    Not sure. POSs not. They might all just get identified as Ivs. Can you filter on the content is they’re all in the same topic? My camera doesn’t tend to do face recognition so I haven’t played with it. I just use line detection and trip wire (and video motion)

    AI Search - iDMSS equivalent?

    i was using a screen on my 5216 nvr today and had a look at a the ai search. This would be the same as what is viewable by the web right? But is there an equivalent when using iDMSS? Searching each cam for its seems a poor subsititute (and doesn’t seem to work the same as motion detect).

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    I've just updated the readme and added run instructions. I probably wouldn't use my entry of ${BASEPATH}/ha-shared/cameraevents/ since there's a variable in there and it defines a fixed path. But if you make a cameravents dir, put the config in there, then run the docker run -v...

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    That's great. I might, cos it annoys me, make the detected "things" filterable. ie I get "smoke" when it's fuzziness on the camera, so I will exclude those. That will just leave Human and Vehicle.

    CameraEvents Service - Dahua Events to mqtt

    The lack of details suggests your camera it not a high enough firmware, or just doesn’t post the json that I saw in mine. Do you get an event fired? As it should just end up like a video motion event which also has very little details.

    https://hub.docker.com/r/psyciknz/cameraevents Here’s a built and image. The dockerfile cross needs you to run the build.sh which creates a dockerfile per architecture by replacing some txt. But it also needs qemu on your build machine.
