Camera URL

[T1mey]

I got a DLink camera and try to use the camera with Google Assistant and your node... Not sure if that will work out.

I can only get the stream with those URL / media formats... any change to bring that 2gether with the node ?

JPEG:

http(s)://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/image/jpeg.cgi bzw. http(s)://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/image/jpeg.cgi?profileid=1

MJPEG:

http(s)://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/video/mjpg.cgi bzw. http(s)://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/video/mjpg.cgi?profileid=1

RTSP:

rtsp://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/live1.sdp bzw. rtsp://benutzername:passwort@ip_der_kamera/play1.sdp

@T1mey I never got to playing around with the camera streams. Not 100% sure, but I think it needs to be a public ip/host name.

[andrei-tatar]

Btw, I do plan to install some cameras for myself in the next few months and I will play around with adding them to Google Home.

[andrei-tatar]

@T1mey ah, the question is more about the codecs. No, there's no chance I can change the video codec. You can use something like this: https://github.com/deepch/RTSPtoWebRTC to transcode to something supported by Google Home.

[T1mey]

Which codecs are supported by google ? I can choose between h.264 and mpeg... Question is if this is working in my local network or if the URL must be accessable over the internet.

If yes maybe it's maybe worth changing the camera to another model which is supported by google out of the box.

[andrei-tatar]

These are the supported stream protocols: https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/camerastream#streaming%20protocols

Question is if this is working in my local network or if the URL must be accessible over the internet.

No idea. The documentation doesn't specify it explicitly. I personally haven't tried yet.

Note: CameraStream is not currently supported by local fulfillment.

Link is not reachable... seems it's called local fullfillment

Would be interested which devices are supporting local fullfillment.... Searching for some power plugs which can do that....

[andrei-tatar]

Local fulfilment is related to something else, not the camera stream url.

It's the ability to receive commands/queries from a Google home device directly to the node-red instance, not via the cloud path.

Pretty much all devices support local fulfilment.

Is it possible to use that feature in smart nora somehow ?

[andrei-tatar]

Yes, it's already supported and enabled by default for the devices that support it. You can read more about it here:

• https://developers.home.google.com/local-home/overview
• https://github.com/andrei-tatar/node-red-contrib-smartnora/tree/master/doc/faq#how-does-local-execution-work

Wow... sounds great... I'm using Homematic (IP) devices over a CCU3 in my local network .... and the delays between commands are quite huge (2-5 seconds) .

[andrei-tatar]

@T1mey please note that the latency between Google and node-red is at a minimum (in my case ~500msec). Not sure how you interface with the Homematic devices from node-red, but it might add up.

[T1mey]

m node-red, but it might add up.

Thanks for the clarification ... the status is blue in my case... so as I understood it right,,,, the call is not leaving my LAN right ?

[andrei-tatar]

Yes, it means the devices receives the commands via local fulfilment path. However there still is a status update send to the cloud since Google Home only supports cloud queries. So when you open Google Home and Google queries what's the status for all the devices, that call goes only to nora, not to your LAN.

Hi, @T1mey.

Following your discussions, as I do also own DLink camera's. Unfortunately older model, DCS930L.

What is your intended use, as I only can imagine, that you want to give a voice command and then that your camera stream is displayed on a Google Nest Hub or a Max. I have never been able to realize that, but used some work around with CATT (Cast All The Things) and a support program mqtt-launcher. This solution is posted at the Domoticz forum (as I use Domoticz).

You may want to look at that: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=30644&p=233183#p233183

At the end this program will run DashCast on the Google Nest Hub and display your video stream (or any other website) to the Nest Hub. Several alternative methods are available, with might be easier, but that will depend on your personal setup.

I would also prefer that a camera stream is played on the Nest hub, without CATT and/or MQTT Launcher.

@FireWizard52 Yes, that's what I want to do... Must your cam be reachable ober the internet?

I think I do not want to have a process running for convserion and I will switch to another cam...

[FireWizard52]

Hi @T1mey,

You asked:

Must your cam be reachable ober the internet?

No, my cams are not reachable from the Internet. I'm able to create a VPN to my local network and it that case I can view the camera stream on my phone, tablet, etc. I do not want that everybody can look into my house. My camera's and the Google Nest Hub are on the same private LAN, which is not accessible from the Internet.
