Hikvision DVR Image capture MMM-iFrame

[JimH]

thanks for looking at this, I have found that when I view MM via an Ipad the image does appear, so maybe there’s something that the Pi just doesn’t like about the image file returned.

If I’ve done this right I get the following response from curl

pi@raspberrypi: $ curl http://admin:XXX@192.168.1.69:80/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/402/picture?snapShotImageType=jpeg

/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/402/picture 4 Invalid Operation invalidOperation

@JimH interesting…

so, if u open the developers window in the pi monitor, ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab and put frame into the filter field, you should see the error there

Hi Sam, so I took a look and there’s nothing listing when I filter for frame but…
I did find at the bottom of the Elements tab when I selected the module that’s running my image, there’s a warning that a Deprecated Feature is Used, it’s blocking any HTTP/HTTPS://user:pass@host/ url’s
I guess the browser on the iPad isn’t so fussy and just picks it up anyway.

There’s probably a way to add my Pi’s IP to an open access list on the DVR, or to file the image into a cloud location somewhere and then ref that to get it onto the MM.

Nothing is ever simple!

Thanks for the pointers!

@JimH use proxy image. This is my configuration for my reolink cameras.

		{
			module: "MMM-ProxyImage", // https://github.com/daxiang28/MMM-ProxyImage
			position: "top_center",
			config: {
				name: 'Driveway', // Must be unique if using multiple instances
				updateInterval: 1000, // Duration between image refresh
				host: ['<url>'],
				port: 80,
				height: 540, // Pixel height of the image
				width: 960, // Pixel width of the image
				authType: 'basic' // basic||digest auth types
			}
		},
