Vatilon PA4 won't stream

on4ami commented 2 weeks ago

Hi

I have an AliExpress IPcam model Vatilon PA4. I can view the stream succesfully with VLC, but go2rtc/Frigate won't work.

Any ideas where to start looking please?

VLC stream info:

I can change the main stream to h265 or lower the resolution, but I keep getting the error error="streams: wrong transport: " stream=Tuinhuis2

go2rtc stream info:

}

But sometimes when I click info or probe again, I get the "streams: wrong transport: "

You can set trace log level for rtsp module and check logs. You can do this on any go2rtc in your LAN. You can run it on your PC for debugging.

The probe sometimes works, but mostly it gives an error. Probe now says:

Well. As usual. Awful RTSP realisation from noname camera.

you can try to use ffmpeg source
you can enable only video filter for rtsp source (#media=video)
you can share stream to me for fix this problem https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/wiki/Tunnel-RTSP-camera-to-Intenet

Hi, I have the same outdoor PA4 camera and go2rtc works fine without any special settings.

But another model of the indoor camera H42 of the same manufacturer also doesn't work. So, I think there might be something wrong with the firmware. I have already contacted AliExpress seller and will forward the information to their technician. No more details at this time. What firmware version do you have?

This works: Device Type: PA4 Uboot Version: uboot-2016-20 Kernel Version: linux-4.9-12 Software Version: V1.12.37-20240124

This doesn't work: Device Type: H42 Uboot Version: uboot-2016-14 Kernel Version: linux-4.9-15 Software Version: V1.14.10-20240725

Hi, just a fresh update. I've just downgraded the firmware of my H42 to the version below and go2rtc started work like a charm.

This older firmware also works: Device Type: H42 Uboot Version: uboot-2016-12 Kernel Version: linux-4.9-14 Software Version: V1.11.91-20231116

So, I recommend you contact Ali seller or checking official website for a fixed firmware. IPC Software Download: https://www.vatilon.com/ipcrjxz
