Home Assistant + Hikvision Ip Cams

[MR_Miller_ZA]

Hello there, I have a Hikvision NVR with 3 4mp Ip cams. Im trying to view the live stream in HA. It works perfectly on ios app but when I try it in a browser it says no video with supported format. When I change encoding to h264 it works in microsoft edge browser. But I want to use the h265 encoding. Any idea how to get it to work?

I'm pretty sure that's a known issue with HA.

Yea thats what I gathered. Wanted to know if theres a way to make it work or an alternative?

I solved the problem by buying a $40 PC and a $60 BlueIris NVR software and had it integrate with HA.

You already found a work around with H.264, so use it.
