+
+The Hikvision Binary Sensor is a platform that parses the event stream of a [Hikvision IP Camera](http://www.hikvision.com/) and presents the camera events to Home Assistant as binary sensors with either an "off" or "on" state.
+
+The platform will automatically add all sensors to Home Assistant that are configured within the camera interface to "Notify the surveillance center" as a trigger.  If you would like to hide a sensor type you can do so by either unchecking "Notify the surveillance center" in the camera configuration or by using the "ignored" customize option detailed below.
+
+For example, if you configure a camera with the name "Front Porch" that has motion detection and line crossing events enabled to notify the surveillance center the following binary sensors will be added to Home Assistant:
+
+```
+binary_sensor.front_porch_motion
+binary_sensor.front_port_line_crossing
+```
+
+This platform should work with all Hikvision cameras, and has been confirmed to work with the following models:
+- DS-2CD3132-I
+- DS-2CD2232-I5
+- DS-2CD2032-I
+- DS-2CD2142FWD-I
+
+To enable this sensor, the following lines are required in your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+binary_sensor:
+  platform: hikvision
+  host: IP_ADDRESS
+  username: user
+  password: pass
+```
+
+Configuration options for a Hikvision Sensor:
+
+- **name** (*Optional*): The name you'd like to give the camera in Home Assistant, defaults to name defined in the camera.
+- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of the camera you would like to connect to.
+- **port** (*Optional*): The port to connect to the camera on, defaults to 80.
+- **ssl** (*Optional*): True if you want to connect with https. Be sure to set the port also.
+- **username** (*Required*): The username to authenticate with.
+- **password** (*Required*): The password to authenticate with.
+- **customize** (*Optional*): This attribute contains sensor-specific override values. Only sensor name needs defined:
+  - **ignored** (*Optional*): Ignore this sensor completely. It won't be shown in the Web Interface and no events are generated for it.
+  - **delay** (*Optional*): Specify the delay to wait after a sensor event ends before notifying Home Assistant. This is useful to catch multiple quick trips in one window without the state toggling on and off.  The default delay is 5 seconds.
+
+Supported sensor/event types are:
+- Motion
+- IO Trigger
+- Line Crossing
+- Field Detection
+- Video Loss
+- Tamper Detection
+- Shelter Alarm
+- Disk Full
+- Disk Error
+- Net Interface Broken
+- IP Conflict
+- Illegal Access
+- Video Mismatch
+- Bad Video
+- PIR Alarm
+- Face Detection
+
+
+Example of a configuration in your `configuration.yaml` that utilizes the customize options:
+
+```yaml
+binary_sensor:
+  platform: hikvision
+  host: 192.168.X.X
+  port: 80
+  ssl: False
+  username: user
+  password: pass
+  customize:
+    sensor_name_1:
+      delay: 30
+    sensor_name_2:
+      ignored: True
+```
