HikVision TVI DVR to trigger event for smart home

RajP

I have the Hikvision DVR which has the ability to create alarm notification for the Hikvision app.. I wonder if I can trigger it to send it to my smarthome... I have setup in my DVR to send notification - alarm notification to me if someone crosses a line on my drive. It sends this to the HikVision app. I want it to send a note to my Fibaro HC2 to switch the Drive lights on if the line is crossed. I have a PIR sensor which will do this once the person is closer to the house. The reason I want the line crossing captured is so that if someone drives on to my drive, I want the lights to come on.. PIR will not capture this..

Is it possible to trigger an action with Fibaro HC2 with an email? If you, you could set the DVR to send an email when the event is triggered.

The problem with Email is the time it takes to get to the email account.. I need to find a way to configure the alarm output to send out a message.. need to find this..

Just thinking aloud. I've found the email notifications from my NVR and Gmail pretty instantaneous.

Most of the times it is ok... but as I have my DVR and Home Centre next to each other, I may try and connect something to the alarm output on the back of the DVR.. see if I can get the smart implant from Fibaro to work...

I don't have a HC but it is something I am interested in.

HC is brilliant.. it is controlling the lights/heating/water and irrigation system in my house since 2015 and have never looked back..
