ERDrPC Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi I have an exterior motion detector. I'd like it to push a snapshot of an image from the Hikvision IP camera in the area when motion is sensed. I cannot figure out where to take the snapshot of the IP camera image. I looked at the action panel for the camera and there is no option to take snapshot or store image. I'm on 2.10.6. I think I have to use the email notification as push doesn't allow images?

ERDrPC Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 I went into the camera properties in monitoring and found "get snapshot URL". I tested it and it failed error 401 unauthorized. My cameras are plugged into a cisco switch and I have the houselogix HikVision NVR driver. I can see the cameras and feed on the C4 OSD and my popups work on my touchscreen when a door bell is pressed. Just can't seem to figure out how to send a still image via push or email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yes. Bad username password for the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDrPC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Got it fixed - authentication needs to be digest and not basic. I have the snap shot URL but am sure how to program to take the snapshot and send it. I pasted the URL into an email notification message and I get the URL in the body and not the photo itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDrPC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 This can't be very complicated. I know it's not a jump to camera but I cannot find any other function capture the image as a still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 That's not how it works. Driver must support it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDrPC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 I have the houselogix driver for hikvision and the NvR with c4 firmware. Do I need a different driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 If the driver hasn't been updated yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDrPC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 I have to double check but it is version 1.00. Do you know the latest version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best option is probably the Chowmain drivers then. I think the relevant driver would be the Notification Suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
