Any plans to add live view and controls to the web server? #79

lazibayer · 2017-11-09T03:56:07Z

I love the camera but I wish I can use it at places without ANY internet connection. I have an old Fujikam that allows me to do that by simply navigating a browser to its IP address.

shadow-1 · 2017-11-10T14:55:23Z

@lazibayer
I do not plan on developing this feature any time soon.

However I am planning on developing RTSP support which will allow use at places without an Internet connection. However not through the web server but through a program running on a PC or through a smartphone app which will not require Internet access.

lazibayer · 2017-11-10T15:02:14Z

That's good news! Thanks for your continuous effort!

alexgorbatchev · 2017-11-23T02:10:45Z

May I suggest a similar feature that could be "easier" to implement. A static JPEG url that could be accessed and which is updated every N seconds. This would integrate very well with home automation systems like openHAB which allow to display URL images on the monitors and refetch them every N seconds.

Thoughts?

alexgorbatchev · 2017-11-23T02:13:28Z

Also, this project allows RTSP streaming https://github.com/xmflsct/yi-hack-1080p

Ben47 · 2017-11-27T22:12:30Z

Hi, I have a camera yi dome 720p international. I put the firmware yi-hack-v3.
How can I access the video stream of my camera on a browser?
(ex -> http: // ip_camera :?) What are the internal and external TCP port numbers to use?
thank you in advance
Benoit

lazibayer · 2017-11-28T03:58:07Z

Also, this project allows RTSP streaming https://github.com/xmflsct/yi-hack-1080p

I check that project and it seems that RTSP and Yi Home access are mutually exclusive. Will it be the same case for this project as well?

kruschman · 2017-11-28T04:10:31Z

It looks like that project is only for the 1080p version. Does anyone know if it will work with the 720p 27US version since they apparently have the same image sensor?

shadow-1 · 2017-11-28T10:48:53Z

@alexgorbatchev
I will have to investigate whether an updating webpage will be easier to implement than RTSP.
I know of this project as I have had some input into it.

@Ben47
Unfortunately only the official Xiaomi apps are supported at this time (Android, iOS and Windows).

@lazibayer
I do not plan to make RTSP and Yi Home access mutually exclusive. However I will have to see how I go.

@kruschman
Yes this other project is specifically for the Yi 1080p Home camera. As far as I am aware, the 720p 27US version of the camera uses a different image sensor. Therefore to make this preliminary RTSP implementation work on the 720p cameras, it needs to be recompiled against the correct image sensor library.

dvv · 2017-11-29T17:38:16Z

+1 for managing to obtain the static JPEG image.
This is beacuse if it is available somehow, it can be sent with periodic scripts, accessed via ftp polling, busybox's (more fat) httpd applet, hand-made poorman shell-based http server, used as the source for mjpeg-streamer's input_file.so etc etc etc you name it.

Just FYI, in motion detection mode /tmp/motion.jpg becomes available at motion start.

shadow-1 · 2017-11-30T11:17:39Z

@dvv
Thank you for the information. I wonder if the JPEG image gets updated regularly or whether it gets created once per motion event.

dvv · 2017-11-30T11:27:42Z

Once. It gets rid after several seconds and I had no chances to play with it more thoroughly. I believe it's sent to cloud then quickly removed.

I managed to (seemingly) robustly catch motion alarm start by the next script (by heart, no camera at hands):

tail -F /tmp/log.txt | awk '
/: got a new motion start/ {
  print "ALARM+"
  system("<START HERE A SHELL COMMAND TO NOTIFY OF ALARM HAS BEGUN>")
}
/: got a new motion stop/ {
  print "ALARM-"
  system("<START HERE A SHELL COMMAND TO NOTIFY OF ALARM HAS ENDED>")
}
'

Moreover, there are some debug info in /tmp/log.txt containing URLs the camera sends to the cloud -- may be it's worth to catch-proxy them for some kind of data or further kludges.

nicolasplanchon · 2017-12-04T12:46:17Z

@dvv could you tell us a little bit more regarding the way you implement your script please ? :)

dvv · 2017-12-07T06:37:12Z

I added a script /home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh:

#!/bin/sh

exec tail -F /tmp/log.txt | awk '
/: got a new motion start/ {
  print "ALARM+"
  system("wget -q --spider \"http://192.168.43.1:8765/sms?phone=XXXXXXXXXX&text=cam4\"")
}
/: got a new motion stop/ {
  print "ALARM-"
}
'

and made it called from /home/yi-hack-v3/script/system.sh:

if [ -f "/home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh" ]; then
        sh /home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh &
fi

The camera is WiFi-ed via an android phone in WiFi hotspot mode, so the phone's IP is known to be 192.168.43.1.

I installed tasker on that phone with TNES plugin which listens to port 8765. I added the task to listen to incoming HTTP GET requests to /sms endpoint, extract phone and text variables from the querystring and send SMS.

It just does work )

shadow-1 · 2017-12-08T01:52:36Z

@dvv
The work you have done is impressive. Being able to send a sms message upon motion detection is quite an achievement.

dvv · 2017-12-09T05:36:14Z

Right, with https-powered wget in hands and robust detection of start of motion we can do very much.
I would post to telegram:

wget -q --spider 'https://api.telegram.org/bot<APIKEY>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT>&text=ALARM!'

dvv · 2017-12-09T14:08:09Z

The log.txt parser evolved:

#!/bin/sh

exec tail -F /tmp/log.txt | awk '
/: got a new motion start/ {
  # motion just started
  print "ALARM+"

}
/: cmd=\/home\/app\/cloudAPI -c 411 .* -filename \/tmp\/motion\.jpg\.crypt/ {
  # photo ready
  print "PHOTO"
  system("cp /tmp/motion.jpg /tmp/temp.jpg ; nc 192.168.34.10 1884 < /tmp/temp.jpg &")
}
/: cmd=\/home\/app\/cloudAPI -c 411 .* -filename \/tmp\/motion\.mp4\.crypt/ {

  system("rm -f /tmp/temp.*")
}
/_____Gamma test for table 4__________/ {

'

I do miss https-enabled curl for uploading photo and video and replaced it with nc + some helper at another host in local net so far.

@shadow-1 couldn't you provide us with curl?

dvv · 2017-12-09T19:24:01Z

I finally found that curl and now the script looks like:

#!/bin/sh

TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=YYY

# NB: curl from https://github.com/utya1988/yi-hack/tree/master/sd/test/curl

function sendVideo(file, text) {
  system("curl -k -q -F video=@" file " \"https://api.telegram.org/bot" TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN "/sendVideo?chat_id=" TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID "&caption=" text "\"")
}

  sendText("ALARM+")
}

}

'

That's all for now.

curl can also be cross-compiled without compression support. This will eliminate the dependency with libz.

@dvv Thanks a lot.

Your script is incredible. I'm looking forward to run it on my cam.
The problem is that I'm not able to get curl in my cam. What should I do?

I put https://github.com/utya1988/yi-hack/blob/master/sd/test/curl/curl into /home/yi-hack-v3/sbin/
And I put https://github.com/utya1988/yi-hack/blob/master/sd/test/curl/libusr/libz.so.1.2.8 as /home/yi-hack-v3/lib/libz.so.1
But still not working. With that files, I get Illegal instruction every time I try to execute curl.

Could you help me please?

Hi,
Just to be sure to understand:

I have to add your scripting code in /home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh and make it call with

if [ -f "/home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh" ]; then
sh /home/yi-hack-v3/script/alarm.sh &
fi

in /home/yi-hack-v3/script/system.sh

Right ?

dvv · 2018-01-25T09:15:51Z

Right, that should work.

xhemp · 2018-06-05T13:55:09Z

Thanks, @frekel. I asked that because of "WIP: Adding alarm functionality (and last motion in webinterface (the changes to the C file) " but looks like you were not able to get that built with the change included.

frekel · 2018-06-05T14:47:38Z

@xhemp: Unfortunately @shadow-1 hasn't had any time to continue... Sorry!

The PR is working but you can't set settings thru the webinterface. You need to ssh into the camera and update the config-files manually (aswell ftp the new source files!)

HI @dvv ,
Is there a way to detect baby crying in Yi Home 1080p along with motion detection?
I found that there are 2 files created babycry.jpg and babycry.mp4 at /tmp/ while it was detecting baby crying

dvv · 2018-09-25T06:46:46Z

@jaxdao I believe you should copy #79 (comment) and make it watch for these files instead of /tmp/sd/record/tmp.mp4.tmp

gooman-uk · 2018-12-27T14:10:35Z

The script isn't working for me. I have no folder /tmp/sd/record.

Even if I create it, there's no files created in there while it's recording.

I'm using the latest version of the v3 hack on firmware 1.8.7.0D_201708091510

[EDIT - I should also note that the Yi app notes in settings next to the MicroSD Card: "Abnormality detected, formatting required". I assume that this is because of the use of the SD card for the hack, but maybe not ...]

[SOLVED - The SD card was originally PC-formatted. I reformatted it from the camera itself, and now it recognises the card and saves recordings in /tmp/sd/record ]

gooman-uk · 2019-01-03T10:54:24Z

@dvv do you have a timeline for exactly when the motion.jpg/.mp4/.jpg.crypt/.mp4.crypt and /tmp/sd/record/tmp.mp4.tmp files get created and deleted?

I'm having intermittent results with your script, and I think it's a timing issue.

dvv · 2019-01-14T04:20:53Z

@davidgurr No I don't. The script is just a reactive one -- it tries to catch these exact moments.
But it just works since creation/deletion takes more than 1 second which is the period of the script.

jcconnell · 2019-05-13T20:45:01Z

I'm trying to use the curl mentioned here in the Fritz Yi Hack. This is the error I get when trying to run that curl from the camera. Any ideas?

./curl: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

xhemp · 2019-05-13T20:46:15Z

@jcconnell this project is dead, there's a yi-hack-v4 from another dev, check it out: https://github.com/TheCrypt0/yi-hack-v4

jcconnell · 2019-05-13T20:47:57Z

I've reviewed that project but it appears he's accepting donations for RTSP functionality. RTSP is working fine for me using the project here: https://github.com/fritz-smh/yi-hack. My goal is to enable curl with HTTPS support so I can get motion notifications in Home Assistant.

xhemp · 2019-05-13T21:03:11Z

He is, yes but it's not the only thing that is being done. RTSP is already working and also MQTT. I do have motion notifications from all my cameras on HA. I did donate, yes, the minimum is £5 so not really a bank breaker :) ,anyway, it was just a heads up.

Scope666 · 2019-05-13T21:13:20Z

I'll second what xhemp said, the Dev is crazy active and is making great progress. The improvements to the web UI alone were worth the donation.

jcconnell · 2019-05-13T21:18:05Z

You guys twisted my elbow. Curious if it's one donation per user or one donation per camera?

xhemp · 2019-05-13T21:19:28Z

Per user.
