Integrating Dahua IP cameras

[avico78]

It would be really awesome if an integration with dahaua cameras will be added,

there is other dahua2mqtt project which provide solution for dahua cameraa:
https://github.com/algirdasc/appdaemon-apps/blob/master/dahua_mqtt.py

which working with apdaemon and it covers most of Dahua ivs functionalities ,maybe some can take a look and see if it be reuse to this project,a single running docker which give full cover for Dahua cameras and vto would be awesome :)

happy u see interest it , a stand alone docker which handle both cameras and VTO in one places is a serious enhancement than for solution exists for Dahua, actually for the cameras (the link i mention in top message) is actually best exists as it intrergearted with Home assistant ,support IVS events , the annoying side of it - u need Appdemon running for it.

ok... that was easy, it's already supported, use the DAHUA_VTO_* parameters of docker for the camera details,
Per camera that you are connecting, i suggest to use different MQTT topic prefix (MQTT_BROKER_TOPIC_PREFIX) and it should work, below events sent by MQTT for the camera:

Will this work with the Hassio-addons branch you have?

[elad-bar]

yes, it's just a wrapper
