DS-KB6403-WIP Doorbell - binary_sensor discovered in HA, but motion is never detected about pyhik

You need to check if the alertstream api endpoint actually exists. Others have not had much luck with hikvision doorbell cams in the past (see issue #16) because it's usually not there.

Hey @lolouk44 , how did you add the doorbell to HA anyway? I have the ds-kd8003, want to try it also

[lolouk44]

I use motion (https://github.com/Motion-Project/) to bring the video feed in HA
I use motion to perform motion detection and send messages via mqtt
I use a spare android tablet with the Hik-Connect app and tasker to detect when the button is pressed and send this via mqtt

Ah ok, I have an ESP board, hooked up to indoor station, that captures an doorpress event, so I can start recording the stream on my synology station, and i also start displaying the stream to the google hubs
