Unauthenticated access into a Dahua, how?

[dastrix]

Hi All

I need a method to allow this because I'm unable to encode a username and password into the HTTP string to view a substream. I have a home automation server which uses the http substream feeds (MJPG) but trying to avoid having to put usernames and passwords into each camera.

I have a hack job method in python but it runs the CPU way too high of the HA server.

Is there a way? Turning off ONVIF authentication made no difference and 'anonymous users' is unclear what that actually even does

Thanks!

What home automation software are you using?
Are you worried about exposing the username and passwords or just don't want to have to use them?

I use blue iris which does use the username/password, but then I can use the streams from there to homeassistant without authentication on my LAN.

Using OpenHAB

The various UI panels cant encode usernames in URLs any more, its slowing being removed.
