1. Download the project:

    git clone https://github.com/zoilomora/hikvision-to-mqtt.git
    # or
    wget https://github.com/zoilomora/hikvision-to-mqtt/archive/master.zip
   

2. Check the docker-compose.yml to see if there are any conflicts with the ports.

5. Now leave the container:

    /var/app $ exit
   

6. You can leave the system connected:

    docker-compose up -d
   

DVR settings

1. Use the iVMS-4200 Client to access the remote configuration of the device.

2. Go to Event > Email and configure the fake-smpt-server as SMTP Server (default port 1025). You can enter any source and destination address, for example:

    Sender Address: <hikvision> hikvision@dvr.local
    Receiver Address: <server> hikvision@server.local
   

3. Activate in the events that the Linkage Action: Email Linkage.

Check operation

Run a MQTT Client to monitor the topic (replace <server_id> with the IP Address of your MQTT Server):

docker run --init -it --rm efrecon/mqtt-client sub -h <server_ip> -t "alerts" -v

# Result
alerts {"type":"Motion Detected","device":{"name":"Embedded Net DVR","serial_number":"******"},"camera":{"name":"Camera 1","number":"A1"},"occurred_on":{"date":"2020-01-06 14:51:02.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Europe\/Madrid"}}

You can also see the logs of the docker containers to see what is happening:

docker-compose logs -f

# Result
