Hello, I am working on a project for face unlocking doors.
We have hikvision camera, indoor module and keypad.
Is it possible to capture a package with wireshark and then send unlock door code via python, or perhaps some other way?
I just need to send the same 'signal' to door module as if correct CODE has been entered on keypad or the same 'signal' as if I pressed unlock doors on indoor module.
I just need general direction if anyone knows anything about this or has done something similar.
Thank you so much!
 
No experience with Hik, but I know that some people around here created a shell interface which queries the "log files" on the VTO to see if there has been a call/code entry, and based on the resultset, that script performs home automation stuff. So have a look at the REST API's exposed by your camera, and I suggest you work from there. Only disadvantage of working this way, is that you are running "behind" the facts: if your scripts polls every 10 seconds, you might get the "pin code correct" (worst case scenario) 9 seconds later. Performing the wireshark way is faster, but that requires deep packet inspection, and possibly de-cyphering encrypted (push?) notification messages.
