I’ve been searching high and low for a way to get motion detection alerts/alarms from Hikvision NVR. Looks like someone has finally cracked the HikVinci code for OpenHAB. Does anything like this exist for ST? Would integrating the node.js be possible with a device type?
Fingers crossed!

Looks like it’s been implemented for Home Assistant also. It’s looking like the best bet will be to link HA and ST to receive the state information.

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:

Will this work with HASS.io ?
