Where to find the imagetype (JPG) for the ImageURL ?

Hi ,

I have a very cheap chinese ip camera.
From that camera I know the IP adres, I can logon to it , i can browse it's whole BusyBox Linux directories and I found the RTSP stream url.
This rtsp url works in VLC player but when I enter it in the imageurl field in Domoticz It does not show anything.

Do I have to enter an url which points to a .JPG, JPEG or PNG file and WHY does the rtsp link not work in here
Do need some other things to set too ?
I already tried different ports (80, 554, blank) , usernames (admin, blank), and password (admin, blank)
and also diffent Ip adresses (ip of the camera, ip of the vendor, etc)

I have the feeling I am almost there .
I hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance

// Rick

I have this to get a picture from my Android phone. So no full URL only the name of the image.

Hi Waaren,

thanks for your reply.

On the camera itself I do not have any .jpg
Does it have to exist on the camera (in one of the linux directories) ??
If so on which location ?

Can you tell me on what location you have your image.jpg ?

thanks in advance

Rick

I don't know.
Domoticz just sends <protocol>://<IP address>/<imageURL>
to the camera

so in my example
http://192.168.192.6/image.jpg
and that call returns the image. So you have to know what the command (the part after the IP address) for your camera is to get the image.

What kind of camera are you using?

Rtsp streams don't work in domoticz.
You need a http(s) link. When you have one for your camera, then try it in a webbrowser. If that Works, then adding to domoticz should be possible.

Hi ,

I have a Guudgo y4a-za2 IP camera.
I will try a lot of http links but it seems everythins is refused also.

Telnet via Putty does not work while it works fine via Telnet via DOS
On the camera There is not one .jpg file on the system.

Hi Hoeby,

I have the https link working in a browser :
The link looks like

https://openapi.icloseli.com/rest/servi ... xxxxxxxxxx

But If i enter this in Domoticz nothing happens.

All ideas are welcome

Thanks in advance,
