Raspbery Pi2 Camera Monitor w/Rpisurv

[bob2701]

He missed the port :554 after th IP adress

I think that was what he missed when trying omxplayer. It looked to me he never went back to the script. I'll put it on the back burner and wait.

Hi Bob, This seems to be solution for your black bar in the bottom of the screen:

Hi,

The install is really no more then following this post, you need a little basic linux knowledge, like how to edit a text file:

[SvenVD]

Try

sudo git clone https://github.com:SvenVD/rpisurv.git

then

sudo run install.sh

and then add your cams and the number of columns here - make shure to have checked the rtsp streams in VLC player before you insert them here:

sudo nano /etc/rpisurv/surveillance.yml

The last step should be

sudo nano /etc/rpisurv

 

[bob2701]

The last step should be

sudo nano /etc/rpisurv

Also the second step should have a change directory to rpisurv added.

cd rpisurv
sudo ./install.sh

That is what worked for me, and as SvenVD told me, "No tabs when editing the rpisurv file"

Thanks for the changes - I just wrote down what I remembered. @SvenVD do you want to put

gpu_mem=512

into the install.sh?

Ok , so I got it installed.

I put in one camera as a sample and rebooted my system and it came up with a bunch of errors and I can put it on here from the error log I believe.

Just seems like the readme is missing a few steps, from a non linux or Pi user.

I'm excited to get it working though, I will verify my rtsp stream on my windows pc

This is all on a Raspberry pi 2, does it matter?

I had the same thing which turned out to be caused by using the "tab" key when editing the rpisurv file. You cannot use the tab key, just space it out.

I dont remember tabbing. All I did was change what was in the sample file of one camera, but I'll try it

If the last line of the error says something about a "t" then that is the problem, if not make sure to include port 554 in you string.

This is what I got for the error , I ran it in the terminal without rebooting

I only changed the 1st camera and left the rest at default.

 

[nayr]

it has a problem parsing the uri you provided, make sure you gave it a port..

remove the lines you dont want..
like this is what I have for dahua nvr

    rtsp_urls:
        - "rtsp://username:password@192.168.42.19:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=4&subtype=1"

 

[bob2701]

Make sure yours works using VLC.

 

[pal251]

It worked with vlc

I added the port number @nayr and now it worked when I ran it manually.

How do you end the program when you are running it in xwindows? I did it with only one camera and now I am going to try out the other 2 cameras and see how it does

Try CTRL + ALT + Backspace

[pal251]

I'll try that thanks
Now when I reboot it fails to load with the single camera and comes.up with this error

 

[pal251]

Ok I figured it out with one camera and I don't know why but the rpicamera file was blank when I rebooted. I still can't get the program to quit after I load windows

 

[pal251]

UPDATE

Got it working with one camera and I have 2 others in the camera config file. I changed the order of the cameras and which ever camera is listed first always works. I have it hooked up to ethernet and wifi, cant figure out now how to turn off wifi.

I have been using the nano command to change the settings remotely with ssh. Any ideas?

One camera is working great, just not showing any other cameras.

This is what my configuration file looks like

Have you tested each camera in VLC or just the first one? Hard to tell if your config is the way it shows or got messed up when you pasted it. Here is a snip of my setup.
