New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

My motion sensor here is mostly cracked. Never used it much as it was very sensitive. It does get warm. That said it is working fine today.

Thinking you asked on Cocoontech about ONVIF. There is software in Windows and Linux to check features. It is also part of the Home Assistant add on.

Windows

Device Manager for ONVIF-based Network video devices.


ONVIF device manager for Linux


Homeassistant ONVIF add on.


I still utillize Zoneminder here but have not configured it since moving. I use a 433Mhz outdoor PIr which works great with Home Assistant and the Hikvision doorbell.

Hi Pete! Just exploring onvif. it appears that it's a way to communicate to an NVR or automation system but what gets reported and the level of detail seems largely missing for the cams I have looked at. They mostly state it has onvif if it does but seems like more detail would be good. For example, some cams such as Reolink can now detect vehicles or people. Are there different messages for vehicles than people?

For the Hikvision with ONVIF enabled I am not aware of vehicle or people detection.
