A Python module for interacting with Hikvision IP Cameras

hikvision's Issues

Filenames

The example script imports hikvision.py - the file in the repo is named api.py .
I changed the example thus:
`import api

hik_camera = api.CreateDevice(...` and so on.

The script api.py imports hikvision.error - the error file is named error.py , and likewise hikvision.constants is named constants.py . I changed api.py thus:
from error import... and so on,
from constants import... and so on (once for each of the two references).

Of course, renaming the files is probably the more sensible way!

Can not find the CGI API Guide anymore

Hello, I want to develop the function of snapshot for hikvision in python, but I can not find CGI API Guide from the URL resource you give from the README. Is there a backup or something?

Control PTZ

I have this camera by Hikvision (https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/PTZ-Cameras/Pro-Series/DS-2DE7225IW-AE/?q=ds-2de7225iw-ae&position=2).
By now I'm able to get video stream with rtsp protocol and VideoCapture from opencv.
Is it possible with the API from this repository to control the Pan Tilt Zoom of the camera?

gnerate qr

How to generate qr for other devices?

NVR VideoDownload

Hello @fbradyirl

I have been trying to grasp some good code for hikvision NVR's (which have only IP Cameras) to do "video download". Is there any way your code can do this?

Thank for your replies.

API Documentation Link

• hikvision package version: NULL
• Python version: NULL
• Operating System: Win 10

Description

Hey Just looking for the API documentation that the README links to is no longer a valid link.

Would you be able to link to the API Documentation that your using or even include it in the repo.

Appreciate the help.

The project looks great. Cant wait to start using it.

Cannot disable motion detection

I filed a bug in the Home Assistant repo. However, looks like the problem is related to the underlying library. I am unable to disable motion using the library. See the trace below:
