How to make it work #9

Closed DaniGarciaLopez closed 3 years ago

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

Hello!

I'm not familiar with go lang nor rtsp connection so probably I'm doing things wrong. My camera is an Eken H8R so I'm not sure if it is completely compatible with your program either.

I managed to install go and your library in my raspberry pi. I can access to my camera stream with the following command: mplayer -nocache rtsp://192.168.1.1/MJPG

I am not sure how to execute the command to start RTSP server. I tried: go run actioncam.go 192.168.1.1, but it showed error connection refused.

I don't know if I'm doing it in a good way or it is just that my camera is not compatible. Any further help is welcome. Thanks!

Hi, the first thing I noticed is that you got the IP-Adresses mixed up.

My tool connects to the camera, so actioncam..... is the correct command (if your camera supports the discovery feature you could even omit the camera IP).

Step two is viewing the RTSP using mplay, the RTSP Server is my application, so the RTSP URL should contain your PCs IP-Address or simply localhost/127.0.0.1

If the tool isn't able to find the camera or connect at all, let me know and I will have a look if it is incompatible.

Thanks for the help!

Writting "actioncam" in terminal shows me the following error: bash: actioncam: command not found

Probably I did something wrong installing go or your library. These are the steps I followed:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.10.1.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xvf go1.10.1.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
. ~/.profile
rm go1.10.1.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
go get github.com/jonas-koeritz/actioncam

The library is located in: ~/go/src/github.com/jonas-koeritz/actioncam

Go to the folder and run "go build ."

The binary is in the current directory so "./actioncam" should be correct.

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

Using "go run" is okay too, it shouldn't make a difference.

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

I built the folder and now command "./actioncam" works.

If I dont add IP it shows: "cannot create camera without IP-Address". I tried: ./actioncam 127.0.0.1 ./actioncam 192.168.1.1

Both show connection refused error. How can I know the IP of my camera?

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

Looks like it might not be compatible if it didn't find it automatically. I'll have a look at your camera and get back to you soon!

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

Is your PC connected to your cameras wifi?

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

Yes. Using the following command I have access to video stream: mplayer -nocache rtsp://192.168.1.1/MJPG 2020-05-15-214239_1920x1080_scrot

A lot of packages are missed, it shows me every 3-4 seconds a new frame. Anyway, this doesnt bother me because I want to use your library just to take pictures and download them.

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

If your camera already does MJPEG streaming it might be totally incompatible. The cameras I've worked with don't do live streaming via a standard protocol at all. That's why I created the library in the first place.

I can have a look at the default app and see if I can implement the file management stuff for your cam as well.

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

I understand. If you can it would be great!

This post talks about the protocol that my camera uses, it might help you: http://hackeken.blogspot.com/2017/01/reverse-engineering-eken-android-app.html

Hello again Jonas! Im back with the project and I would like to use your library. Did you have time to check compatibility with Eken H8? If not I was planning to buy one of the cameras you said it is compatible, but I was trying to buy either campark or tectectec and they are not currently available in amazon. Do you have any idea of which available cameras are still compatible with your library? Thanks!

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

The Xpro broke a few weeks ago and I invested in a GoPro Hero 5 as replacement. If you choose any camera and tell me which app it uses natively I could have a look at it and tell if it would possibly be supported.

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

I was planning to buy Victure AC700. It uses this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlk.IPCamViewer

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

On first glance this doesn't look like it would use the same library. If you buy on Amazon you could send it back as not fitting the intended purpose 😉

Yes hahahaha Campark X20 uses CamKing app, it should work right?

DaniGarciaLopez commented 4 years ago

Hi! I bought and tried Campark X5 and seems that is not compatible. IP error appears ("cannot create camera without IP-Address"). How could I know which cameras might be compatible? Thanks!

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

Did you connect to the cameras network? This looks just like the auto discovery didn't work.

Yes, it is connected. I tried also using these IPs and it does not work: ./actioncam 127.0.0.1 ./actioncam 192.168.1.1

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

You need to use the IP-Address of the camera, 127.0.0.1 is your own computer, the camera usually gives itself the .100 or another address on its own wifi. You can use Wireshark to see who's talking on the network.

I checked with Wireshark and looks like the IP is: 192.72.1.100. But I tried with that IP and it is not working either

jonas-koeritz commented 4 years ago

I will have a look at the cameras native app tomorrow and try to determine if it should be working.

Great! Thanks again :)

jonas-koeritz commented 3 years ago

Doesn't look like this will be easily implementable. Closing for now.
