Hi everyone, I wanted to share my success in getting my Samsung DVR cameras to work seamlessly with my VeraLite system. After some research and trial and error, I found a reliable method that I’d like to walk you through.
First, I discovered that using the URL /cgi-bin/webra_fcgi.fcgi?api=get_jpeg_raw&chno=0 was the key to grabbing video streams from the cameras. This URL allows direct access to the camera’s video feed, which is essential for integration.
To set this up for multiple cameras, I realized I only needed to adjust the last number in the URL. For example, Camera 1 uses chno=0, Camera 2 uses chno=1, and so on. This simple tweak made it easy to configure each camera individually.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the steps I took:
- Identify the Base URL: Start with the base URL for your DVR system.
- Adjust the Channel Number: Change
chno=0to match the camera number you’re configuring. - Assign Each Camera Its Unique URL: Repeat this process for each camera, ensuring the correct channel number is used.
- Test the Integration: Once all cameras are set up, test each one to confirm the video feed is working.
This setup has been running smoothly for me, and I’m thrilled with the results. If anyone else is looking to integrate their Samsung DVR cameras, I’d be happy to help troubleshoot or share additional details. Happy automating!
