Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

This is not the code you copied from vlc player:
Code:
 http://Admin:..........&@192.168.1.124:9004/videostream.cgi?

A http-stream doesn‘t have Password and Username infront of the ipadress.

Try the two following streams in VLC and afterwords in rpisurv, if successful:

Code:
http://192.168.1.124:9004/videostream.asf?
or
Code:
http://192.168.1.124:9004/videostream.asf?user=admin&pwd=myadminpassword
 
And how about this:
Code:
http://192.168.1.124:9004/videostream.asf?user=admin&pwd=myadminpassword
Please remember to change admin and myadminpassword in the stream.
 
Found a mistake in my code: it is cgi and not asf

try

Code:
http://192.168.1.124:9004/videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=myadminpassword
Please remember to change admin and myadminpassword in the stream.
 
I give up and go buy another camera this evening if I change something, the program will no longer start
 
meanwhile bought another camera:
the sony snc-dh140 and tried with this rtsp stream
rtsp: / username:pwd @ 192.168.1.145/media/video1
but it is not working yet on rpisurv , I may have to update the rpisurv program first ?
the rtsp stream does work with vlc player in windows 10
 
try it that way:

Code:
-url: "rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.145:554/media/video1"

Make shure that the cam delivers h264 to the main stream and not h265! This is set in the configuration of the cam: Raspberry cannot connect to h265.
 
this is the next
when I change this, my cameras no longer work either
I use the bottom line
- url: "rtsp: /
- rtsp_url: / this is what i use
if I use the top one the cameras don't work

What version are you running?

On a RPI3 on a fresh Raspbian install after i install the RPI Surv after a reboot the Raspbian won't boot the desktop like before, it just shows the terminal, do you have an idea why is this happening?

Did you try startx?

You could also run raspi-config and change the boot options to desktop v CLI. Not sure why the rpisurv would change that.
 
I found out that if i update the Raspbian this happens, if i don't RPI Surv work just fine.

I'm guessing some of the updates mess it up.
 
Rpisurv 3 has been released, take a look here and Release notes here.

Features:

Self-healing and health monitoring including watchdogs

  • Every stream will be monitored by an external watchdog process, if the stream gets killed somehow, the watchdog will try to restart the stream/process. This gives you a very robust surveillance screen.
  • Stream up/down detection and autorepositioning of connectable streams on the screen layout. For example: if you stop a camera (or just stop the server on the camera), Rpisurv will detect this and will recalculate/redraw the screen with the still available streams. The same is true if a previous unconnectable stream becomes connectable. All without any user interaction.
Automatically position streams (no manual coordinates calculation needed)

  • Autocalculcate coordinates for every stream displayed.
  • If you are not happy with the autocalculations you can customize yourself.
Rotation of screens (autorotate or with keyboard control)

  • You can configure multiple screens and cycle between them in an automated way or via the keyboard.
  • In the case of dual displays, you can configure multiple screens to be cycled between for each display.
Multiple types of streams

  • You can also specify "image streams", to display images next to or instead of camera streams. The images will be auto-updated if they change remotely.
Dual Hdmi support

  • Rpisurv will auto-detect if a second display is connected at boot and will automatically start the configured screens for the second display.
