Bingo! Bit of trial and error is required is all.

See here: DS-KD8003 - DS-KV8113 - DS-KV8213 - DS-KV6113 - DS-KV8413 and .... integration Hikvision HikConnect Video intercom doorbell Type "hikvision IP Surveillance API User Guide" into Google for more tips. Eg: HIKVISION ISAPI_2.6-IPMD Service.pdf

Yeah - I get this frequently with that useless iVMS. Not on NTP but other settings - seems iVMS often fails to send the correct config update sequence to the KD8003. So if your KD8003 never got the message it needs to use NTP of course it won't do that. I actually just stopped using iVMS and...

Yeah - it can be done easily with ffmpeg, etc. but HikVision cameras are supposed to be able to render the current image on their own. Doh! :(

Out of interest, do you know how to grab a single, still image from the KD8003? Or do you know if it's possible to initiate/end a call using ISAPI (I mean same action as someone pressing the intercom button on the unit)?

Well - that's the thing. We have a Loxone system that can open doors/gates directly so I don't need to do that using HikConnect or a softphone app. The Loxone app uses SIP to talk and displays an RTSP video stream so think I can get this to work as required now.

No, that is not true. Both @NoFate & can now have the KD8003 call a SIP device when the intercom button is pressed. No indoor station needed - at least I don't have one and the SIP call is working now.

Ah-ha! If the KD-8003 doesn't see a ringing tone it assumes nothing is happening and even if communication is ongoing drops the SIP call. I might call that a bug, but still. So if you want to conference with Asterisk, the way they show in the example is... exten => 1,1,Answer() exten =>...

Short answer: It's a Loxone thing. Long answer: We have a Loxone automation system and it expects to be able to dial a SIP intercom in response to a doorbell button being pressed. The KD-8003 can't accept incoming calls though. However, I can trigger Loxone (let it know there's someone at the...

Well... this is very interesting. Say I have configured the KD-8003 to dial '200' on button press. This configuration (dial another extension directly) works fine. No call dropping: exten => 200,1,Dial(PJSIP/6002) However, if I want to put the intercom in a conference... well, that's when the...

No, it does not. There is no 'notification' setting for KD-8003 devices in my HikConnect app. Yes and no. Asterisk works for me here. I can get the KD-8003 to place a SIP call when the intercom button is pressed but... that call is dropped by the KD-8003 in 10-15 seconds so not very useful :(...

By 'usual contenders' I assume you mean Hikvision, Dahua, etc? Maybe you are right to do this, but I have recently seen someone ranting about Dahua firmware updates breaking stuff so doubt anyone is immune from problems now and again. That model does look nice and priced well but looks like...

Cool - would be interested to hear how you go with this gear if you would please update us. Thx.

Hi, I'm looking for something similar. Can I ask why you considered the DHI-VTO2202F-P over Dahua's modular DHI-VTO4202F-P model? Have you considered the Hikvision DS-KD8003? I'm guessing perhaps it's not open enough/easy enough to connect to other systems for your requirements or was there...

I've been looking for a video intercom/doorbell and considering a few Akuvox models. They do look a decent option so would be interested to hear other's experience with this brand. Anyone? TIA
