Has anybody manage to include Ezviz cameras in to vera controller?
In luup files i see multiple implementation files for EZVIZ cameras.
Does your Ezviz camera have a http mjpeg or jpg snapshot URL?
If so you can easily add it in to Vera.
Vera doesn’t support Rtsp streams.
No the Ezviz camera don’t have HTTP MJpeg snapshot, it does not have a web server also. But the new Vista Cam 702 is oem of Ezviz camera https://www.ezviz.eu/wifi-cameras/ezcube/ so it has to have the engine to support ezviz cameras as i said the implementation files are present in vera
Maybe someone from vera team can shead some light, because if the engine is there why not use it.
I don’t know about native support from Vera.
However I used Blue Iris software to integrate my Ezviz doorbell cam into Vera and various other things. As Blue Iris create a http url for the cam.
I used these instructions to add my ezviz DB1 doorbell to vera. I wanted to take a picture when a certain code is entered at the door, but the scene takes so long to trigger it doesn’t really work. Also, for some reason about half of the time the camera shows up as “not connected”. So “it works” but it’s not very useful.
How did you add your DB1 in to Vera ?
Are you using a firmware version that supports a snapshot jpg URL ?
The Ezviz DB1 with its standard firmware has no snapshot only RTSP stream.
Yes. I used the linked instructions to upload the most recent hikvision firmware, then use the IPADDRESS/onvif/snapshot.jpg url in Vera.

I considered doing that also but I believe you then lose Google Home support / integration.
Anyone has some news to integrate Ezviz Cameras with Vera because i’m very interested.
There is no news.
What integration do you want to achieve?
I dont think it’s currently possible to add a Rtsp camera in to Vera natively. It supports mjpg / snapshot which the Ezviz cams apparently do not have.
I was able to integrate my new Hikvision cams however for motion detection using a Hikvision plugin for Vera.
You could use BlueIris camera software to integrate Ezviz cams, as I did with my Ezviz DB1 doorbell cam.
Or some of the OEM firmware for these Ezviz cams enables mjpg / snapshot features.
