Web UI for visualize YI ant camera's record from sd-card

Yi-hack-webui

My scenario: I have 3 Yi ant 720p IP camera and love to use yi-hack firmware with it. The problem is Yi hack doesn't provide any web ui to review and delete the video, the sd card get full pretty fast so I need a background process to pull all video from camera to my NAS and free the sd-card and have the WebUI to review/delete the recorded video.

Quick Demo:

For player I used videojs and videojs-playlist to view recorded video.

How to run it

From Linux machine with docker and docker compose install

• Make sure your computer or your NAS device able to run docker and docker-compose.
• Clone this repository to your computer or your NAS device.
• Open .env.example file and update variable depend on your config. CAMERAS for list of your camera IP, TELNET_USER and TELNET_PASSWORD for camera root user information. Save that file to .env
• RUN docker-compose up -d to start the process in background
• Access the web ui at http://localhost:5000

From device with docker install

• Use this command to start our container from image

docker run -d \
    --name yi-hack-webui  \
    -p 5000:80/tcp \
    -v "<your_video_storage_path>:/var/www/app/data" \
    -e TELNET_USER="root" -e TELNET_PASSWORD="telnet_password" -e CAMERAS="192.168.1.100 192.168.1.101" \
    -e TIME_ZONE="Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh" -e NTP_SERVER="192.168.1.1" \
    -e DOWNLOAD_INVERVAL=300 -e DATA_PATH="/var/www/app/data/" \
    --memory=60m --restart=unless-stopped \
    phuonglm/yi-hack-webui:latest

• Access the web ui at http://localhost:5000

Note

• The record download script is only support yi-hack 720p, For other camera please add enviroment variable CUSTOM_SCRIPT_192_168_1_10=http://url/custom_download_script_for_your_camera.sh, the crontask will run your script instead of default yi-hack720 script.
• For some device like Pi, NAS with ARM CPU, please use phuonglm/yi-webui:arm32v6-latest or phuonglm/yi-webui:arm64v8-latest instead.
• If you don't want to use docker then the install process will very diffrence depend on your OS. But the minimum requirement is a Linux device with PHP, telnet and lftp installed. You will have to change some code and enviroment variable to relocate the storage of recorded video depend on your device.
