5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

Since the IR leds are awesome, Im going to use it strictly as an illuminator since the HIK only illuminates the center of the field.

Anyone else has AWB issue? When the sun is really bright have image all "bright green", if I set to Manual White balance and use default values then it's fine
 
Hey there,

finally I installed the camera this week. I set up a ftp on the raspi as well, where it uploads its motion alerts.
Now im trying to get the rtsp stream with the omxplayer run, but it fails since hours.

The stream doesn't open at all.
my command is:
omxplayer -g --live rtsp:///192.168.2.3:554

which leads to this terminal output:
Invalid framerate 90000, using forced 25fps and just trust timestamps
have a nice day ;)

That's the omxplayer.log logfile:

Does someone got the rtsp stream running on a raspberry pi?


I tried Kodi as well, but the rtsp doesn't work there as well.

Any ideas?

Best,
Patrick.

Did you try these?

Main stream : rtsp://192.168.1.168:80/0
Sub stream : rtsp://192.168.1.168:80/1

Yes just tried it.
In VLC in Windows everything is fine, but I can't open them on the raspberry. The recorded avis work as well in omxplayer, but this rtsp stream is really a pain.

Another question, rtsp doesn't work on android phones as well. Maybe this hangs together?
 
try --aidx -1 on omxplayer to prevent it from looking for an audio stream..

Still the same log and terminal output :(
This is so weird, the log even doesn't give a error or something.

I finally got it. Dunno how much hours I spend - looks so easy now.

omxplayer -n -1 --avdict 'rtsp_transport:tcp' rtsp:///192.168.2.3:554

Thanks for the help :-)

Are there any recommendations for a simple android video player app, that supports this tcp rtsp stream?

The only one thats working for me is "onvifer" but the stream crashes sometimes and it's packed with way to much stuff to make settings on the camera.

Best,
Patrick

Actually im streaming from the camera with the pi to the tv in the living room (FHD stream), whenever i start another stream via tablet (FHD stream) the camera restarts pretty often.
Do you experience those problems as well?

The camera runs stable, as long as I don't open to much streams while playing in config. It seems to be a bit sensitive.

Another question, is it somehow possible to increase the recording time?
It's now set to 10 seconds, which is pretty few.
The problem is, when there is like 30 seconds motion outside, it happens pretty often, that the camera detects the first motion, stores a 10 sec file on the ftp and then detects motion again lets say 10-15 after the first detected motion ended. So there is pretty often a gap between the first file and the second detection.
Btw. I expericence lots of false alarms. If I set sensitivity lower, things that are like 10meter away wont get recognized reliable anymore.

Furthermore, I have the feeling, that the camera's h.264 encoder is not as good as it should be. All files, that are encoded in VBR are pretty much around 10mb. Even when there is not much movement or even no movement. I-Frame intervall is set to 3 seconds, bit rate to 8000kbps. When I set the encoder to CBR the files are just 1 mb bigger.
Any ideas?

Best,
Patrick
