Integrate iCatch DVR using MotionEye in Home Assistant

Hello,

I’m trying to understand my options for viewing my cameras (they’re standard cctv cameras connected to a DVR via coaxial cable); the DVR is an iCatch

I can navigate to the IP address of the DVR and I can see a link to open a JPEG viewer

If I right click on the image and copy its url I get

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/cgi-bin/net_jpeg.cgi?push=1&ch=1&time=1591268916710

I installed motionEye in Hassio and I manage to see the camera streaming in MotionEye WebUI by using

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/cgi-bin/net_jpeg.cgi?ch=2

I configured my configuration.yaml as

camera: 
  - platform: mjpeg
    name: Test camera 1
    still_image_url: http://hassio.local:8123/api/hassio_ingress/xxxxxxsomethingxxxxxxx/picture/3/current/?_username=admin&_signature=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
#copied from MotionEye snapshot URL
    mjpeg_url: http://hassio.local:8083  #copied from MotionEye streaming URL
    username: admin
    password: 1234

If I add the camera as a picture entity card to “overview”, I don’t see anything, what is wrong?

Also are username and pssword meant to be my Motion Eye, Hassio or my DVR’s credentiials?
At the moment I’m using the MotionEye’s ones…

Ultimately I would also like to see my camera in HomeKit
