Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

it's an http but not a rtsp

That doesn't matter. The majority of IP-Cams use RTSP - thats why we always start there.

This is the sample from the surveillance.yml to use:

Code: 
- url: "http://<ip or dnsname>:<port>/suffix"

<port> should be 80
suffix should be /videostream.asf?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]

sample:
Code: 
- url: "http://192.168.1.1:80/videostream.asf?user=admin&pwd=myadminpassword"

Pay attention to the spaces in front of - url: They are important. Bestway to copy from " to " and then change admin and myadminpassword.

maybe i should first update the program because i still have the first version on the pi and it might not work with the http streams
 
Yes you should upgrade for the new features!

But it is not necessary for http streams - they work since version 1.

What you mean is this new feature :show random images from an accessible URL instead of a camerastream
Many webcamproviders just publish a JPEG or PNG file every minute or so, which always has the same filename.
With this option Rpisurv will control, whether the picture has changed.
Code: 
- url: "https://images.rpisurv.net/example.png"
          #To specify this url is not a camera stream but an image stream please set imageurl to true for this url
          imageurl: true
 
when I put the stream in the yml, the pi gives no image
I have tried many different ones but no image
they do work with vlc player
 
I guess it will work with Rpisurv. One of th following streams listed von the link will most likely work.Link
I wouldn’t buy it for two reasons: WLAN I don’t find if it has LAN as well?
There are many threats in this forum, telling you not to use WLAN.
I wouldn‘t buy a Cam with 720p in 2020.

Have you solved your problem from July?
 
Sorry but you mixed everything.

Your syntax does not exist (- http_url:...)

try that:

Code: 
- url: "http://192.168.xx.xx/videostream.asf?user=Username&pwd=Password&resolution=64&rate=0"

Set instead of Username and Password your Username and your Password

If this doesn't work post the complete surveillance.yml here or at Rpisurv which is the offical support forum.

OK - try this.
You have three cams:
  1. 192.168.1.122
  2. 192.168.1.123
  3. 192.168.1.124
  4. Duplicated 2. so you get a 4x4 grit.
Little comment on the ports.
I assume that at 1. & 2. the port 9002 and 9003 might be wrong. Try 554 for both of them or have a look in the administration of your cams what they have for rtsp.
3. doesn't need a port.

For function test try the url within the " " in VLC-Player before.

DON'T use TABS!!!!

the other cameras do have rtsp
but it also doesn't work with the new url
