So, I tried a different MQTT topic and payload that I had read as a possibility and it still didn't work. After a few days, it started working out of nowhere and even tried it on a 2nd camera (this time, it only took a couple of hours for it to work) What worked this time: Home Assistant: I...

I found the error that was posted in MQTT Exception in message_received when handling msg on ‘BI/courtyard_camera/alert-image-b64’: ‘b’{ “camera”:“Courtyard”, “time”:“20231102_105157”, “dbid”:"" }’’ Traceback (most recent call last): File...

No, it is still not working. I've tried posting in a few different places, but still no help has been forthcoming. I did check the MQTT logs when trying to test and it was an error I've never seen before. I'm away from my computer right now, but I'll see if I can dig it up.

A while back, I tried to setup Blue Iris and Home Assistant through the Blue Iris Integration in Home Assistant and MQTT to send me notifications through Home Assistant with the Blue Iris alert image attached. I had no success at the time, so I settled for setting up binary sensors (some with...

You can setup the Dahua VTOs to connect to an external SIP server. They default to having the SIP server internal to the VTO, so that a VTH can connect to it from inside the building for the intercom package. I have had a different VTO for a while on my test bench (just haven't run the POE...

Will do. I also modified your script to add the current UV Index as well and I might add the daily max UV Index, but I'm already out of macro slots in BI.

Thank you very much for this @jaydeel and @Chris Moore . My weather has not updated through BI Tools since 04/11/2022 (last modified date in my txt folder) and I had taken off the video overlay a while back because of the outdated information. While I was able to get this script working pretty...

Okay, I think you may be correct on the wired LAN. I set that part up a long time ago, so I may have used the dahua toolbox to change it. I had it working with Blue Iris a long time before I figured out how to get the SIP server setting. I also only use the wired LAN. For the RTSP, I looked...

It's pretty good, You used to be able to add it to Home Assistant as a custom add-on, but the developer moved it over to gitlab a while back and there is no way to add it directly to Home Assistant now. I moved over to an unRAID setup a few months ago when my VBOX VM crashed with no hope of...

I run my cameras, including the VTO, on a separate VLAN as well that is blocked from the internet. I had some issues with the intercom portion as well when I first started, but not the camera functionality. When I set a static IP, I do so by making a DHCP reservation in my firewall and not at...

I did get it working with freePBX. I also have it integrated into Home Assistant using DavuaVTO2MQTT in a Docker container so I can get notifications to phones and announced through an Echo Dot when someone presses the doorbell button. I don't know the exact RTSP stream URL. I just typed in...

Sorry I missed this. My Home Assistant VM took a dive (using VirtualBox on Windows 10 and using virtualbox as a service). I had the backups, but ended up using a fresh installation of HomeAssistant as a VM on an UnRaid microserver. Significantly more stable that way, but still have to add a...

I wouldn't say I have a lot of experience with it, yet. I have had it for a few months, but on a test bench. I'm testing it with freePBX as the SIP server and have done some fun things such as custom ringbacks that automatically change with holidays, events, etc. Also using SIP softphones to...

That is interesting. I have all sounds disabled in the VTO except for ringback sounds. I thought I had read the custom upload sounds need to meet specific formatting requirements. Did you make sure they are not too big or otherwise meet the parameters?

That has been there for years (at least 4 of them). It's never in stock.

I have the same VTO and am running it on a test bench right now with freePBX. I do not use the door opening function. However, I am using custom ringbacks to the VTO that can automatically change the ringback to a default or a holiday, event, etc.. I was inspired by this post on reddit that...

Does anyone else notice that the nose and mouth look like a "greater than or equal to" sign? Or has that been a known thing and I'm not up to date on my meme history and it is well-established irony?

Good point. I'm using the Dahua Integration (also have the VTOtoMQTT running to see which I like better) for the doorbell presses which sends a notification, but had hoped that there would be a way to set the back key light on somehow. Also trying to setup the Asterisk Integration through HACS...

No experience with Hikvision other than their consumer doorbell that is being replaced by the VTO (only lasted a year). IR not as big of a deal for me as it is not the only camera in the courtyard, but the led ring around the doorbell button not being lit until pressed bothers me. My firmware...

I'm no expert, but I currently have Dahua VTO2211G-WP on my test bench getting ready to install. I do not use any of the apps (other than config tool to upgrade the firmware on it). It is on its own VLAN with the rest of the security cams with access blocked to the internet and only access...

I went to Sunset Beach in Huntington Beach at the end of a business trip in October and it was crazy how many ships were just waiting there. I could see them waiting from the port just north of me and south along the coastline.

Pretty much anything they want it to be. Remember, it was the IRS that sent Al Capone to federal prison.

That hits a little close to home where I live.

Here you go!

I don't have the version you are looking for, but I do have one in between them 4.500.0000001.0.R.210714

After having issues with my Nelly's Security doorbell (it died for no reason), I purchased a Dahua VTO2211G-WP to try and integrate into my Blue Iris and Home Assistant system. I know it is not perfect as a doorbell replacement out of the box, but it seems like it would be usable like so many of...

Dang. If I had received notification of the question, I probably would have just copied and pasted your canned response.

Would it be like "Gumbel 2 Gumbel, Beach Justice"?

Funny, I sent that article to my family that still lives in CA. They asked me what is causing the problem and my answer was "California Voters".

I'm surprised nobody caught the one that listed the "Ligma" variant or the "Sugma" variant!
