ashwinmj Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 When I go to the camera section under security, I see the live view of my cameras fine. However, I see a history button on the top right as well - what NVR would work with this history button? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I don't even get live video on my "Cameras" section, just a recent snapshot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanITman Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Camera history is only supported with C4 specific cameras. The new Chime and DS2 both support a historical entry with video or snapshot. Control4 has not released the API method to support this on 3rd party devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to integrate the stream for the chime into a Hik NVR. Has anyone done this? I have tested the stream using media player but would be good to know if anyone has had success.

The new Chime and DS2 both support a historical entry with video or snapshot. Control4 has not released the API method to support this on 3rd party devices. So... I have no access to review historical video with the Chime (motion alerts, doorbell rings) via the iOS C4 App or the Chime Intercom app? All I get is a live view and a snapshot when they ring the doorbell, but no way to view the history? Please tell me I'm reading that wrong. Is there another way to view the video?? I have a Luma NVR- surely that's compatible with Chime- it's all SnapAV, after all. If I click "History" from the C4 iOS home screen, I get the image in my previous post. If I click Security->Cameras->HistoryIcon I get this.... A still snapshot of when the doorbell rang. Neither of which is terribly useful if I want to figure out what the dude who rang the doorbell was actually doing before or after he rang the doorbell.

Yes, you need to enable it under the "Events" section in the Chime Driver. Its called "Motion Media" Video Clip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about motion events- can it be configured to save video from those events too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pull the values off of the camera driver. Here is the rtsp stream for mine. rtsp://192.168.1.XXX:554/live.sdp. It uses basic authentication.

Time to get the CCTV install done then and I can remove my old nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my installer failed to do that- my LUMA app only shows the surveillance cameras, not the Chime. Thanks- I'll add it to the list of things for him to fix.

You configure that directly in the Chime doorbell (via the IP address) or some app I don't have? That doesn't look like Composer HE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be composer HE, the newer devices have this new HTML setting page that shows under the device. You can't access any of this on the web interface. It seems c4 is going to this new style of setting pages for things like the chime, wattbox, and neeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my investigation these clips don't live on the controller. Control4 uploads them to Amazon S3. I have a feeling they probably won't open this up to non c4 hardware anytime soon as it would open up a boat load of data that they would have to host.

Snapshots are already done this way and c4 supports them through push notifications and allow 3rd party. Hosting video is another beast and will need to have some serious guard rails.

They do store history but it’s only in short small clips. There is no timeline scrubbing like a traditional NVR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not just take the rtsp stream and take that into the NVR and record from there. Surely that would enable history and scrubbing?
