Are you going to look at adding authentication support sometime? Paid driver version obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teammac Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have a mix of Axis and Hikvision IP cameras. Driver works great with the Axis cameras but won't send an image with Hikvision. I can paste the snapshot URL in a browser and get an image with no auth needed. Any ideas on what I might be missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the driver. Go to properties, enter an image URL. Go to your push notifications agent. Select a push notification. For the attachments area select this driver's Image URL source and away you go! Check the documentation for an example of how to get it working with the DS2. (That notification was triggered manually, hence nobody at the gate) Latest Release: 27th June 2019: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q41401kp95nc01v/generic_url_notification_driver.c4z?dl=0 So to make the screenshot work, We have to have authentication on the DS2 camera off? I haven't thought it through too hard, but does anyone have any problems with this? On it's face it sounds like it makes things alot less secure. However after thinking about it, I'm not sure I care if someone wire's into the camera that just shows my street. Would it be possible to turn off authentication, send screenshot, turn authentication back on. It sounds "easy" but I wonder if something like this would be prone to messing things up.

You’re only turning the camera authentication off. So the worst that would happen is that someone can view the camera which I don’t think is a major issue.

I can see a setting in C4 just to turn off authentication. Does it just randomly turn it on all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Control4 driver sends an autoconfig to the DS2 whenever it loads/updates which sets the authentication on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, I understand. So just to confirm.... We should go to the Composer programming menu, clicking on the project name on the upper left corner, then under "When Project X Loads" , we put your command. The reason I want to confirm is I'm not sure of the order of events on project loading, so I can imagine putting it into the wrong area would have the AUTH OFF run before autoconfig sends.. Which would then be useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just added it to my project and also added so that every time a 30 min timer expires it takes away Auth. Will test out if it worked shortly. EDIT: All works like a charm! Thanks for this!

Shivam Paw Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 I have a version of this driver working with Basic authentication for cameras. So if you were limited because you couldn't disable the authentication (Hikvisions notably) this would now be possible. Any testers?

pkkaiser Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I’ll test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivam Paw Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Update: will also have digest authentication working! But, there's a bug somewhere with the notifications so im working on that. Hopefully will have it released in the new year (it will probably be a paid driver but will be fairly cheap!)

Shivam Paw Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 And released! https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-push-notification-images/ You can get the driver now! It supports Basic & Digest authentication. The odds are, if you have a camera on Control4 then it will work with this driver!

Shivam Paw Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 You could technically use the programming commands to change each of the properties but it does seem a bit pointless. Probably better off having separate drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fvierra27 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Could a remote dealer sell me a license for this driver? Have a DS2 that I would like to get push notifications with from a motion sensor. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
