The following line tells me that it's using provided static gstreamer libraries instead of the system:

INFO  24-10-21 16:27:27.264193 133465758131136 gst_plugin_utils.c:229: Loading static plugins...

That being said, Timeout while waiting for server response is self-explanatory. Snippet from your logs:

Does the camera works using the follow command: (Don't forget to use your own user/password)

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://192.168.100.94:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif" user-id="INSERT-YOUR-USERID" user-pw="INSERT-YOUR-PASSWORD" ! fakesink

The command won't show anything visual because of fakesink. It's only to test if the camera is setting up the stream correctly.

The Imou camera has the default user "admin", and I created a second user "admin2" with Administrator rights. Both users have the same password. What seems strange to me: When I try to log into Onvif Device Manager with the "admin" user, it doesn't work, but if I use the user I created, "admin2", it logs into Onvif Device Manager successfully. I tried the command: gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://192.168.100.94:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif" user-id="admin" user-pw="mypass" ! fakesink If I use the "admin" user, it gives me an error:

Unauthorized (401) ERROR: The pipeline does not want to preload. Setting pipeline to NULL... Releasing pipeline...

If I use the "admin2" user that I created, no error appears; it says: Redistributing latency... (and a timer runs)

In VLC, I use the address rtsp://admin:password@192.168.100.94:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0, and it works perfectly, regardless of whether I use "admin" or "admin2". However, if I use the address: rtsp://admin:password@192.168.100.94:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif with the "admin" user, it doesn't work, but with the user I created, "admin2", the live stream runs perfectly.

I am using an Imou Bullet Lite 4MP camera. When accessing its web interface, I've attempted to locate a setting for UNICAST transmission but was only able to find MULTICAST, which is currently activated. Both the default 'admin' user and the custom 'admin2' user have ONVIF enabled.All settings are at their default values.

Okay, the first issue at hand is that onvifmgr is unable to connect, but I suspect it might just be a timeout setting a little bit too low. I could add an option to adjust it in the application settings.

Could you try the following?

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="rtsp://192.168.100.94:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif" user-id="INSERT-YOUR-USERID" user-pw="INSERT-YOUR-PASSWORD" latency=0 teardown-timeout=0 do-retransmission=true is-live=true tcp-timeout=1000000 protocols=4 ! fakesink

This should simulate the rtspsrc configuration within gstrtspplayer.c. If it fails, we now have a good hint about a faulty configuration.

If it is successful, you can try to run the application with Gstreamer debug enabled:

GST_DEBUG=4 onvifmgr > onvfmgr.log 2>&1

This will generate a large amount of logs from gstreamer, giving additional insight about the failure.

In regards to user permissions, that would heavily depends on the device's implementation. I can only imagine that ONIVF related features are considered for "administrator" while some regular user can connect to other RTSP streams.

In this case, it has different RTSP stream parameters (proto=Onvif) which I assume leads to different permissions validations. (e.g. Administrators could have 4K with regular users at 720p)

I find it a little odd, since I do own a Imou Ranger 2C and I don't experience those permission issues.

I ran the first command, and no error appeared; a timer started running. I also ran the second command, and it created the file onvfmgr.log, which I uploaded to GitHub. onvfmgr.log

I really don't see anything other than the camera not responding, but that's just gstreamer's message. It is possible that some exchange occurs, but the handshake fails to complete.

We can try to increase log level a bit to see actual rtsp message exchanged:

GST_DEBUG=*:4,rtsp*:7 onvifmgr > onvfmgr.log 2>&1

The new section rtsp*:7 should show RTSP message log (OPTIONS, DESCRIBE, SETUP, PLAY) and a lot more.

You can always try to use your system's gstreamer instead of the static linked latest version. You can simply rebuild the tool without "enable-latest" argument:

make distclean
./autogen.sh
make -j$(nproc)
./onvifmgr
