Hikvision security camera, Smart Events to trigger hubitat

[ricklndn]

I'm not sure how to get the url needed from my hikvision Camera so when an alert happens, the camera can send it to hubitat , after that I can use my sonos speakers to notify everyone in the house.

any help would be great.

Maybe this does what you’re looking for (have Hikvision cams but never tried it myself)?

[RELEASE] Hikvision Alarm (HTTP Listening/Data Streaming/Alarm Server)

Hi Hubitat Community! This is my first public release of code of any kind. I'm a HW engineer so my coding skills are very limited. I tried to make this extremely flexible to maximize the number of use cases. I hope this is helpful to someone and I welcome any suggestions to improve/fix the code -- I'm new to Hubitat & Groovy development, so I might be making a lot of rookie mistakes or have inefficient code. https://github.com/ken830/Hubitat/blob/main/drivers/Hikvision%20Alarm%20Driver/hikvisio…

Yes, if your Hikvision cameras support the "HTTP Listening" feature (also goes by "HTTP Data Transmission" or "Alarm Server" on some cameras/firmwares), and they are not behind an NVR, then my custom driver will do what you need by accepting alarm events and exposing them as a motion, presence, or contact sensor. It can also emulate a button press. With that, you can implement whatever logic and actions you need in Rule Machine.
