Digging up an old thread.
I just bought my first Hikvision IP camera a
DS-2CD2045FWD-I
I’ve installed the Hikvision IP Camera(ALPHA) plugin and I have uploaded @Sorin I_HikvisionIPCamera.xml file to Vera.
I have managed to add the camera OK in to Vera, following these instructions here and using the I_HikvisionIPCamera.xml file instead.
I have enabled basic on the WEB Authentication in the cameras settings.
I can run this command in curl in a CMD prompt and it lists the alertstream information OK.
curl -s http://user:password@192.168.0.15/ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream

Following @loukt advise here, I had edited the I_HikvisionIPCamera.xml file and changed:
Change from the function getStreamEvents()
the line
if newEvent:find("<eventDescription>PIR alarm</eventDescription>")
to
if newEvent:find("<eventType>VMD</eventType>")
However in Vera no new motion sensor device is being created.
If I look in the Vera log I can see this:
“not a Hikvision camera, nothing to do” and “Unsupported camera model nothing to do”
The file “/tmp/HilkvisionOutput_Devno.txt” in not being created on the Vera in the /tmp folder.
Anyone know how to fix it ?
Its a genuine EU camera purchased from an authorised dealer not off eBay or Amazon.
Many thanks
