Feature Request & Bug Report for eWeLink CamSync (Docker Gateway)

Ideas & Suggestion Feature Request

Dear eWeLink Team,

First, thank you for your ongoing work on the eWeLink ecosystem. I would like to bring your attention to CamSync (eWeLink Camera Gateway). This software has not received a significant update in over three years, and several critical issues and missing features are affecting its usability:

  • Credential Persistence: Currently, credentials are not saved. Every time the Docker container reboots, users must manually sign in again. This prevents the gateway from being a reliable “set and forget” solution.

  • Missing Advanced Detection & Recording: While CamSync ports RTSP/ONVIF cameras to the app, it lacks essential security features like Motion Detection (Person, Pet, etc.) and options for Continuous or Event-based Recording (Cloud/Local).

  • Google Home Integration Stability: I am experiencing a persistent “loading loop” when viewing CamSync cameras via Google Home, even though they work perfectly in the eWeLink mobile app and eWeLink Web.

  • Advanced Plan Features: As a paid Advanced Plan subscriber, I expect more robust support and feature parity for CamSync, yet it feels neglected compared to native eWeLink cameras.

  • Third-Party Ecosystem Support: There is currently no native support to view CamSync cameras in SmartThings or Home Assistant, which are vital for pro-users.

  • Privacy & App Integration:

    • Please add a Privacy Toggle to allow or prevent viewing of CamSync cameras on demand.

    • Please allow CamSync cameras to be linked to other devices (switches, lights) so they appear in the device tab, similar to the standard “Link Camera” feature for Sonoff cameras.

I hope to see these improvements in a future update to make CamSync a competitive tool for the eWeLink community.

For me, camsync doesn’t recognize 4k cameras and has a problem with the h.2xx codec. I voted for yours.

Thank you very much for highlighting each of these issues. This project is currently not on our roadmap, and there are no development resources allocated for its maintenance at this time. If there is enough interest from the community, we will evaluate the possibility of restarting it. Anyway, thank you again for your understanding!
