Almost every camera works with this solution even RTSP
Posted: Saturday 14 January 2017 15:09
Hello everybody,
My name is Dennis and i am new here on the forum but using Domoticz quite a time and before that i was 5years a Nodo user.
I was strugling to use my already RTSP installed camera's in Domoticz because there is no support for that.
After a lot of trial and error i managed to get my RTSP camera and also a camera from my parents garden (not on the same network), to show in domoticz and also create snapshots on events.
It was eventualy very simple!
Needed:
*A spare (android) tablet. (didnt try it with apple)
*The pro version of IP cam viewer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... Paid&hl=nl (i have nothing in comment with this app)
How to:
*First install the app on your spare tablet. why a spare tablet? because the app has to run in record mode otherwise it doesn't work.
*Search for your camera as explained by the app.
Here comes the nice part Go to app settings scroll down and check the box enable server.
Go to Chrome and open the URL that is provided by the app. if everthing is okay you can click: Matrix View (updated in Matrix View and Record Mode)
Now you can see your camera if you have more camera's added you will see all camera's.
Now click: 'Embedded Web Server API Information' and search for "Last Frame JPG by Camera Name (requires viewer user, relies on frame buffer from current Gallery/Matrix/Record Mode activity)" Click this link. It wil show camera not found!
In the url: http://<your IP>:2880/v1/stream/last_frame.jpg?name=I-65+%40+234
replace:"I-65+%40+234" for your camera name it has to be name you you called it in the IP cam viewer app not the ID
Hit ENTER and your camera will show.
Now in domoticz got add camera and fill in the form:
Actief:
Naam: Choose a name can be any name
IP Adres: <your IP adres of the URL from above>
Poort: 2880
Gebruikersnaam: admin (username used in the server settings of the ip cam viewer app)
Wachtwoord: •••••••• (password used in the server settings of the ip cam viewer app)
ImageURL: v1/stream/last_frame.jpg?name=<your camera name>
Hit Test and your camera should show up.
Hope it works for everybody and let me know if it does
Greetings Dennis
