Hikvision camera by HTTP authentication issue

[elias.st]

Hi everyone

I am trying Hikvision camera by HTTP template on one of my hikvision cameras. After configuration of SNMP community , username, password I am getting an "unauthorized" message on most of the items.
I did a wireshark capture on the camera and zabbix is sending the HTTP request without any username or password. When I try to open the ISAPI Url of the camera using a browser such as
http://cameraip/ISAPI/system/deviceinfo , I get a username and password prompt and then I see the XML data. This confirms that my camera setup and protocol is all correct.

Any idea why Zabbix/Hikvision HTTP template doesn't authenticate the HTTP request despite filling the username and password correctly in the Macro ?

Thanks !

Try to understand the difference between SNMP and HTTP.….

Zabbix integration page has instructions on how to setup this template, including authentication.

Hi All

Thanks for your responses.

Its ok now, I managed to fix the problem. My configuration was all correct as per the instructions provided. I had to edit the template and changed the HTTP authentication from digest to basic for 3 items that are requesting the ISAPI HTTP request, Just sharing this if anyone else on the forums struggles with this authentication issue.
