NVR integration - Failed to sync device state; 401 Unauthorized errors. #101

DanielNagy · 2021-09-28T03:23:10Z

Attempting to add my NVR5xxx-4KS2 series NVR, but fails with 401 Unauthorized errors.

Looked in issue #9 but it doesn't appear anyone has had this issue.

Version of the custom_component

latest 0.9.24

Describe the bug

Added the Integration with the username/password/ ip address, and it Successfully creates the integeration.

However, the Integration becomes "red", with "Retrying Setup". Checking the logs shows "integration not ready yet; Retrying in background", and "Failed to sync device state".

In log viewer, it shows that all the NVR's endpoints are failing with a 401, Unauthorized. If I manually browse to those cgi-bin based uri's, chrome prompts with username and password, and using the same credentials, successfully show valid responses.

This is a weird one. Not sure what I can do to help here. I assume you are still facing this issue?

DanielNagy · 2021-10-04T00:37:11Z

@rroller Yeah I am.. My guess is authentication credentials isn't being presented properly?

Testing my NVR with postman.
Basic Get request to the following url fails, with a 401.
http://192.168.1.10:80/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=General

Enable "Basic Auth" with the same username and password, works with the following response.

table.General.MachineName=NVR
table.General.LocalNo=8
table.General.MachineAddress=
table.General.LockLoginEnable=true
table.General.LockLoginTimes=5
table.General.LoginFailLockTime=300

UPDATE
Enabling "Digest Auth" in Postman as per the code in client.py, fails with the same 401

So, my NVR doesnt support Digest Auth? only Basic Auth? Unless i'm doing something wrong in Postman when enabling Digest Auth?

Without passing authentication user / pass.. It is clear my NVR is wanting Basic Auth. I wonder if that is a setting i can change? Strange because I am running current v4 firmware build 27th Aug 2021.

I was having similar issues connecting to my Dahua NVR via curl and the Dahua custom integration. Tracked the problem down to having https/ssl enabled and not having the cert locally installed. Disabled SSL and all is well. Since I have all cameras and NVR blocked to the Internet, local http should be fine.

DanielNagy · 2021-10-04T23:05:39Z

@GaryOkie, I did try enabling and disabling https based on the original issue I quoted. (You will see my logs above are straight http / port 80.)
Curl shows that it requests "Basic" Auth regardless of HTTP or HTTPS

For clarification, I've enabled HTTPS, and this is the result of the curl test. It still shows WWW-Authenticate as Basic

DanielNagy · 2021-10-21T21:54:25Z

So long story short, it seems there needs to be a option to be able to select Basic authentication, as well as the default Digest Authentication?

Can we make this happen please? :)

thetravellor · 2022-01-07T01:24:45Z

My Dahua NVR states that an RTSP feed is available as follows

rtsp://:@:/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
channel: Channel, 1-8; subtype: Stream Type, Main Stream 0, Sub Stream 1.

The integration appears to not understand this.

Hello

I end up into similar situation as DanielNagy and thetravellor, when I tried to access Dahua DHI-NVR4104-P-4KS2 unit with the latest Dahua Integration 0.9.39.
When I expect to get this integration working?

thetravellor · 2022-03-02T01:20:31Z

I have since found that the integration only works with the 4.0 dahua UI, you need to update the firmware your model.

https://www.dahuasecurity.com/support/downloadCenter/firmware?child=171
Maybe this one DH_NVR4x-4KS2L_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.2.R.220121

If no firmware, you are out of luck.

DanielNagy · 2022-03-02T01:31:00Z

@thetravellor I have a NVR5216-16P-4KS2, and I'm running the following System Version | V4.002.0000000.2.R, Build Date: 20-01-2022

And the Security -> System Service -> Basic Services -> Private Protocol Authentication mode is set to "Security Mode (recommended)" which according to the manual is Digest mode.

I have tried changing this setting, rebooting, changing back, rebooting.. to no avail.

thetravellor · 2022-03-02T01:37:17Z

I dont have crypto on at all, try turning this off.

The integration would not work with crypto on. probably because its using a "Private" protocol that nobody knows anything about.

DanielNagy · 2022-03-02T02:04:43Z

@thetravellor Yeh, i already have that disabled, as per your screenshot.

thetravellor · 2022-03-02T12:57:56Z

You need to add 1 channel per integration, so if you have 8 cameras for example, you will add the integration 8 times once for each of channels from 0 to 7

DanielNagy · 2022-03-03T00:52:17Z

It doesn't even allow me to select channel 0. I get a authentication 401 error. Refer back to my debug log in the original post of this issue.

any update guys? this happen only on my NVR, DVR work properly

test:
