This is a very basic python module providing a basic python interface to interact with a Hikvision IP Camera
This is licensed under the MIT license.
This module is tested against firmware 5.2.0. It may work on older versions, but that has not been tested.
For further info on the camera API's see: CGI API Guide: http://bit.ly/1RuyUuF
hikvision is hosted by Github at https://github.com/fbradyirl/hikvision
CI run after commit:
toxgit clone --recursive git@github.com:fbradyirl/hikvision.git
cd hikvision
# NOTE: You might need administrator privileges to install python modules.
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .Variables:
import hikvision.api
# This will use http by default (not https)
# pass False to the digest_auth parameter of CreateDevice to fallback to basic auth
# (note that basic auth and http without ssl are inherently insecure)
# more recent hikvision firmwares default to turning basic auth off
# (and that's a good idea for security)
hik_camera = hikvision.api.CreateDevice('192.168.2.5', username='admin', password='12345')
hik_camera.enable_motion_detection()
hik_camera.disable_motion_detection()
