Script for Hikvision cameras with SD card #11

mrmaximas · 2021-09-17T19:40:37Z

It is possible to modify this script for use with cameras, not DVRs?

Since I do not have a hikvision camera, can you please add the line print(channelList) above line 22 and send me the output (after you remove any private information like username and passwords) to see where exactly is the channel stored? Thanks.

I may have found the cause of this error, can you verify if 51ebdd8 fixed this issue? Also, in master I specified how to enable DEBUG mode by uncommenting this line

HikLoad/downloadTodayRecordings.py

Line 13 in 01c23b6

# logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

If there are any more issues, this one should help a lot for debugging.

This is definitely related to kkroening/ffmpeg-python#174 (comment), I will add in README how to install dependencies using virtualenv so this shouldn't happen again.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T08:48:05Z

uninstall both with:
pip uninstall ffmpeg
pip uninstall ffmpeg-python
and install ffmpeg-python again with :
pip install ffmpeg-python

it's works!!!

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T09:13:39Z

some issues

the files are named with gmt time instead of my local time (gmt+3) 20210919001307.mkv really captured in 03:13:07

at this stage the file 20210919001307.mkv appears with zero size, ffmpeg process and that's where it ends.
my camera records in H.265 (not H.256+)

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T09:36:07Z

my cameras are installed at a remote site with 30-40ms latenсy lte channel with 5 mbps upstream speed, but camera records with 8 mbps vbr. may be this is a problem?

Tedyst · 2021-09-19T10:21:18Z

The name can be changed here:

HikLoad/downloadTodayRecordings.py

Line 49 in c22cacc

name = re.sub(r'[-T\:Z]', '', recording['timeSpan']['startTime'])

2&3: In c22cacc I forced the downloading to be done via TCP, this should fix both of the problems. I guess sometimes HikVision cameras and DVRs do not like UDP and thus, if a packet is lost, it can take down ffmpeg and make it unresponsive. Can you verify if it works as intended now?

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T10:42:06Z

it's works! thanks!
video stream is ok, but time zone error repeats again. file 20210919014959.mkv captured in 04:49:59 GMT+3

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T10:44:27Z

it's possible to generate .mp4 or .mov video container instead of .mkv?

Tedyst · 2021-09-19T11:08:33Z

For the timezone problem, I usually get what the camera says, so maybe check if the camera is set in UTC time or not. If it is set in your local time and returns UTC time, then you should be able to change the string to reflect your real timezone. And for the .mp4 you can change it on the line next to the one where you set the filename:

HikLoad/downloadTodayRecordings.py

Lines 49 to 50 in 7a4e016

    
           name = re.sub(r'[-T\:Z]', '', recording['timeSpan']['startTime']) 
        
           name = name + ".mkv"

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T11:16:23Z

i try to change file to .mov or .mp4 QT player says 'The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player.
it's problem with a movie container

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T11:19:36Z

the first downloaded file is always not earlier than 03:00 am

Tedyst · 2021-09-19T11:30:12Z

I think I fixed both of the problems, the first one was because I was just copying the video from the camera without transcoding, the second one was because I kinda forgot how timezones work.

Tedyst · 2021-09-19T11:53:54Z

To be honest, if fc19ee7 dosen't fix this issue I might revert the whole timezone part and keep all of the times in UTC.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T12:13:30Z

ok. what about .mp4 container instead of .mkv? it's ffmpeg call option as i know it.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-19T12:53:44Z

To be honest, if fc19ee7 dosen't fix this issue I might revert the whole timezone part and keep all of the times in UTC.

maybe you can modify the script to accept timespan interval parameters and generate folder with camera name for example?

Tedyst · 2021-09-20T05:46:59Z

I think I made almost everything that you asked, you can now run the script using arguments. To replicate the behaviour that you wanted run python download.py 192.168.10.239 username password --starttime 2021-09-19T07:58:52+03:00 --endtime 2021-09-20T04:58:52+00:00 --folders --videoformat=mp4. The only think that I don't know how to implement is how to specify custom filenames.

something went wrong.
p.s. i thing 'channelName' argument is the best for directory naming (channelName', 'CAM 2' in my case)

Tedyst · 2021-09-20T07:56:39Z

I guess you can specify the --starttime and --endtime arguments to see if making the interval bigger would work? The problem is that the camera cannot find anything, since the dates are kinda correct from what I see. Also I now changed to use the channelName instead of the channelID for folder names.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-20T08:10:04Z

i have some records today, but nothing to loads with or withiout timespan args

Tedyst · 2021-09-20T08:59:08Z

If you add the option --skipdownload does it show that you have some recordings or just says Found 0 recordings for channel 101? I reverted the timezone things that I did these days and went back to the wrong (in the sense of timezones) way that should work.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-20T09:09:59Z

answer is: Found 0 recordings for channel CAM 2
instead of Found 0 recordings for channel 101

This error is just weird, the camera says it found something but dosen't want to return anything. For now I implemented the ISAPI spec a bit weirdly, since somehow with optional fields it works for you. I also added a way to return more than 64(for my DVR) results, by following what the DVR says.

mrmaximas · 2021-09-20T12:33:34Z

now it's works, great!
But my filenames based on UTC time instead of local time (;

For this one I made so that the code dosen't stop when it sees that error, I don't really know what could cause this except the server returning wrong XML data.

Tedyst · 2021-09-21T07:49:33Z

Also if the new code dosen't download videos correctly, you can try the --fmpeg flag, since I made the default behaviour to download directly from the DVR/Camera, without any RTSP.

good idea, may be the best way is download via http then convert with ffmpeg? so slow but more reliably

If there is specified another file extension than "mkv"(since the dvr saves the videos in this format), it will be transcoded using ffmpeg.

yes, but how to automate this transcoding locally )

Tedyst · 2021-09-21T09:09:50Z

Isn't the script automatically transcoding already? It is supposed to do that, but maybe I introduced a bug that won't let it work.

Can you try running the latest version? If the bug still exists, can you specify what arguments are you using? For me, it works using the arguments --folders=oneperday --videoformat mkv --debug. (I also changed the default format to mp4, since it is more compatible in general). If this still dosen't work, you can try --forcetranscoding.

Due to the complexity of the functions entailed in a recording and content management (RaCM)
device, all RaCM devices MUST provide a ‘profile’ resource (schema instance) such that entities
accessing them may determine their functional level and basic attributes. Details are outlined below.

I am starting to question the validity of the ISAPI specification... Also removed the line that caused this error.

what about http download then transcode? not on-the-fly. imho rtsp download with on-the-fly transcoding is not best way.

That can already be accomplished by running ffmpeg -i 20210923051106.mp4 video.mkv -y. I don't think it is needed for download.py to manage anything other than downloading. Maybe if I create another script for that, but imo i don't think it is that needed.

I am closing this issue since everything should be solved. If there are any more problems, be sure to create another issue or reply to this one.
