This hikvisioncam switch {% term integration %} allows you to control your motion detection setting on your Hikvision camera.

{% important %} Currently works using default HTTPS port only. {% endimportant %}

To use your Hikvision cam in your installation, add the following to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  - platform: hikvisioncam
    host: 192.168.1.32

In the Hikvision camera settings you also need to make a few changes:

• In the camera menu navigate to Network >> Advanced Settings >> Integration Protocol. Check the 'Enable Hikvision-CGI' box and set the 'Hikvision-CGI Authentication' to 'digest/basic'.
• Make sure the camera user has the rights to change parameter settings. In the menu navigate to System Settings >> User Management >> User Management. Select the correct user, click 'Modify' en check the 'Remote: Parameters Settings' box.
