IntegrationWith Home Assistant for first generation HikVision Video Intercom

[pepsonEL]

Is any chance to you can write integration for Hikvision first generation Video Intercom ? I can be a tester...

[pergolafabio]

try it out already, maybe it works, the code is now working too on linux systems

[pepsonEL]

But i need step by step manual.... i am beginner user....

[pergolafabio]

do you have ubuntu or centos? cause this script is not compatible with all OS's

start with installing a centos first, and then install python 3.8 , lots of examples availble on the net

[pepsonEL]

But on windows i can use it with instralled Python ?

[pergolafabio]

yes, just install python, should work too

also download the SDK from hikvision site, you need the "lib" directory

[pepsonEL]

But can you give me link to this SDK....

[pergolafabio]

https://www.hikvision.com/en/support/download/sdk/

[pepsonEL]

This :
Device Network SDK (for Windows 64-bit)

And after install python 3.8 on windows and download SDK and also should download this script from github, and then what i must do ?

[pergolafabio]

run the script with command
"python hik.py"

remember to change your device ip and credentials manually in the .py file

[pepsonEL]

Change in this line:
user_id = HCNetSDK.NET_DVR_Login_V30( "192.168.1.206".encode('utf-8'), 8000, "admin".encode('utf-8'), "Password123".encode('utf-8'), device_info)

But SDK should be in which localisation ?

[pergolafabio]

change this line in other .py file:

hcnetsdk_path = "d:\\Private\\Development\\EN-HCNetSDKV6.1.6.45_build20210302_win64\\lib\\HCNetSDK.dll"

[pepsonEL]

IP must be a door station or for indoor monitor LCD ?

[pergolafabio]

the doorstation

[pepsonEL]

ok when come back to home i test it.... and write in this post.

[pepsonEL]

But this script what give me information ? And what then ? How integrate with HA ?
