HKSV won’t work

[pillemats]

Hi

I am using the newest version of homebridge and camera ui
all works great but HKSV won’t work. I only can see the live mode and I set up stream and record.

Hopefully it is an config problem

I don’t know where is the problem

many thanks for help!

Same here. I've tried a very simple HSV config, defining "audio": true and "maxbitrate": "2048", as well as the config below which AFAICT matches the documentation, and either way I get "The recording process was aborted by HSV with reason 'TIMEOUT'."

"cameras": [ { "name": "Front Door", "manufacturer": "August Home", "model": "Doorbell Cam Pro", "serialNumber": "D2GWS0013U", "motion": true, "doorbell": false, "motionTimeout": 15, "videoConfig": { "source": "-i rtsp://admin:[email protected]/stream", "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://admin:[email protected]/stream -vframes 1 -r 1", "maxWidth": 480, "maxHeight": 640, "stimeout": 0, "subSource": "-i rtsp://admin:[email protected]/stream -r 10", "audio": true, "debug": true, "readRate": true }, "mqtt": { "motionTopic": "", "motionResetTopic": "", "motionResetMessage": "", "motionMessage": "" }, "prebufferLength": 4, "videoanalysis": { "active": true }, "smtp": { "email": "Front Door" }, "hsv": true, "hksvConfig": { "audio": true, "maxBitrate": "2048", "maxWidth": "1920", "maxHeight": "1080", "maxFPS": "30", "encoderOptions": "-g 120", "vcodec": "libx264", "acodec": "aac" }, "prebuffering": true } ]

Yes I tried also… for one time (10 seconds recording) it works but that’s it. After it won’t work.

now I switched to the original HKSV from eufy. There the recordings works perfect.

If the problem is fixed I will try it again

EDIT: i tried out one camera right now (eufy Indoor Pan & Tilt) with the easiest config. Only activate audio and if i go in the front of the camera to activate the motion sensor i got in Homebridge this error:

And this in webif from camera ui

One time the cam recorded (one way, i am going in front of it from left to the right)
From right to the left the cam dont record

Lets see what happend over night….

EDIT2: @seydx i found one problem: if i add the cam first time to camera ui the time will automaticly set up zu 12h in the eufy app. I changed to 24h -> Then the cam wont record anything. If i changed to 12h back the cam will record. (In log of homebridge nothin recorded of this problem)

However the problem remains with the motion sensor error.

EDIT3: also i found out that:

1.: if video analyse is off, nothing will recorded.
2.: if i set up the reset time from motion sensor (standart 3min) to 0 or 1 after a reboot it will reset to standart

Hello,
Having a similar issue. Somewhat new to Homebridge and camera.ui. Recently got a new Lorex system and have all cameras showing up fine in Home, and 3/4 of them work fine in terms of HKSV. However, one of them only recorded motion once and no longer saves any clips for me to view. I have attempted to toggle various settings on and off including stream/recording, but nothing seems to stick. I have also been unable to get audio to work on any of the cameras. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: audio seems to be working for now, same issue with video.

same here !

Same issue here, the only way that works for me is using Scrypted, I've been using it for 10 days, and it works much better, it records everything in HKSV, with no issues, and pretty simple / easy to use

[pillemats]

Is there any solution ?

[jlg89]

At this point, if you want simple "homebridge-native" camera support, and HSV isn't important to you, use homebridge-camera-ffmpeg. If HSV is important, use Scrypted.

FWIW - HKSV hasn't't been working for me for the last couple of weeks, but yesterday I received two notifications mid-day. None since then, but it makes me wonder what's changed.

[erokoder]

I configure yesterday, and HKSV don't work. I also have problem with video analysis, motion detection only one time detected, although it should be much more.

[jlg89]

For reliable HSV, I highly recommend setting up Scrypted in a Docker container.

HKSV motion detection and recording working only for the very first instance. Then no recording atall. But the logs show motion detected, video analysis etc. Same problme if I enable aws rekognition. For the very first time I got recording and notification with label but after that no recording and notification. No errors in logs. Very strange. I switched to scrypted for HKSV. I still use camera.ui for sending telegram notifications.
