Are you able to open up the stream on your computer? Open up wireshark and filter by destination ip and/or protocol.
Typically it should be Port 554
please see my post in the HomeKit subreddit on using FFMpeg. I'm stuck trying to find the still image URL.
In case the question is still on.
rtsp://admin:admin@<august doorbell pro ip>/live/stream1
I tested with my August Doorbell Pro via VLC, it works well.
Now all we have to do is find the still photo URL. Anyone?

Never used an August, but FWIW and if it helps, I have had some success with just using this for some rtsp streams: "stillImageSource": "-re -i rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.183:554/Streaming/Channels/1/snap.jpg", or to get rid of some garbage frames; "-skip_frame nokey -i rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.182:554/Streaming/Channels/1/snap.jpg -vframes 1 -r 1" Hope this helps.
I tried that, thanks. Doesn't seem to work. I also tried it with VLC, and no go :-(
I have snapshots working now
{ "platform": "Video-doorbell", "cameras": [ { "name": "Doorbell", "motion": true, "button": true, "manufacturer": "August", "model": "Doorbell Cam Pro", "serialNumber": "D1GPH000ZQ", "firmwareRevision": "2.3.0-RC167+201809201313", "videoConfig": { "source": "-re -i rtsp://admin:admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/live/stream0", "stillImageSource": "-skip_frame nokey -i rtsp://admin:admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:554/live/stream1 -frames:v 1", "maxStreams": 10, "maxWidth": 1280, "maxHeight": 960, "maxFPS": 30, "maxBitrate": 300, "vcodec": "libx264", "packetSize": 1316, "audio": false, "debug": false } } ] }
Snapshots works for me! But trying to view camera says "This camera is not responding."
Try connecting from the August app. Does that work? If not, then homebridge certainly wont.
If it doesn’t work… reboot the doorbell.

August app works fine. I rebooted the camera anyway but it didn’t help.
This config works for me, albeit in homebridge-camera-ffmpeg. The RTSP video is only 480x640 anyway, so there's no point in upscaling it. I'm also using the Motion app and some other tricks to get video-based motion detection notifications into Homebridge, so the "motion" parameter is actually useful.

Been searching high and low for the August Doorbell video stream URL, just adding this to open up a dialog for those in the same boat.
