No stream

Hi All

I'm using an X branded cheap camera from Aliexpress.

I've found the RSTP URL using ONVIF Device Manager. I can get a stream through VLC, but when I put the same URL into Domoticz I can't get a stream.

Not sure if I'm missing something as this is my first attempt at cameras.

Your thoughts would be most helpful.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2

Hi,
As far is i know domoticz supports only mjpeg streams.
So unless the camera is capable of streaming mjpeg, you need to convert the stream.
I believe some people use motion eye for motion detection and then restream the stream.
I self use zoneminder for motion detection and restreaming.
