Probably because the SIP propietary runs in the Hik cloud and not locally?With hikconnect I can also connect to the IP of my device, but it only acts as camera then... Not sure about dahua
mmmm maybe run a SIP server with SIP card and near to it the RTSP stream?Yes, or use HA
LOL, instead of sending the call to the devices pointing directly to the unit, it sends the notification to the cloud :// That sucks...No, it runs local, the indoor station is sending the forward to cloud, not the outdoor station
so all your units run through tablets with HA, to be able to run RTSP or webrtc and at the same time have a SIP card, right?The outdoor station is calling to a conference room, with HA, on a call notification you can join the call to answer , the early media will come trough RTSP or webrtc
Yep, I guess that once you go with the own SIP, it is better to run an Android with HA, instead of indoor stations, that will have the early media issueIf you use HA, you don't need their indoor stations , you use a regular android tablet then
So, even if that works like you say. What will happen if I decide not to run an indoor station? The Android apps won't work?No, it runs local, the indoor station is sending the forward to cloud, not the outdoor station
Losted now. Don't know what is ISAPI xDD Another protocol like SIP? Is that ISAPI working the same with HA? Or what benefits is ISAPI giving you, for you not to use SIP?Hmm need to see if I can find a screenshot, because now I'm using ISAPI two way audio instead, it's another test case, that also runs local without their cloud
mmmmm, so the issue of SIP with early media is solved then with ISAPI? Does that protocol run into a different ISAPI server? Is that also working fine with HA?This is btw the HA sip card I use...

ISAPi is just a protocol, you can develop your own app to start two way audio ... The benefi for me is that I can still use the indoor stations, with early media... With app on sofphone , I can open the outdoor station based on IP and manually start two way audio...I use the Synology app for that
No, I do not own a Synology. However HA is not capable of twowayaudio? shouldn't it be capable since it has a SIP card for it?No, doesnt work with HA, you need an app that supports twowayaudio.. allthough I use HA for the incoming call notification, I get a popup on my android (now they use websockets, so it's always instant) from that popup I do an action to open the Synology app, with that app I start two-way audio... The only command that I need to send first, is to answer the call, I do that from HA, afterwards I can start the talk... I can also open the door from my Synology app.... So if you own one, it's a good alternative...
Otherwise , don't use Isapi
Oki, so homeassistant supports 2 wayaudio with SIP, but not ISAPI, right?No ISAPi has nothing to with SIP
