Can't get EZViz (Hikvision) cams working with Hik plugin nor RTSP URL #210

Closed bookemdano08 closed 2 years ago

bookemdano08 commented 2 years ago

Trying to run unifi-cam-proxy directly on a UDMP via podman. Already downgraded Protect to version 1.21.2, so should not be affected by the streaming bugs in 1.21.3+.

The cameras are EZVIZ C3N, which are Hikvision under the hood, 1080p and are H265 by default. However, I changed them to H264 using Hikvision's Batch Configuration Tool. The RTSP streaming URL is: rtsp://admin:password@ipaddress/Streaming/Channels/101 and I tested it in Blue Iris and in VLC--both audio and video play fine.

Here is the ffprobe output for the RTSP stream: ffprobe rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.197/Streaming/Channels/101 ffprobe version 5.0 Copyright (c) 2007-2022 the FFmpeg developers built with Apple clang version 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.3) configuration: --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/5.0 --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --enable-version3 --cc=clang --host-cflags= --host-ldflags= --enable-ffplay --enable-gnutls --enable-gpl --enable-libaom --enable-libbluray --enable-libdav1d --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-librav1e --enable-librist --enable-librubberband --enable-libsnappy --enable-libsrt --enable-libtesseract --enable-libtheora --enable-libvidstab --enable-libvmaf --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libwebp --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libxml2 --enable-libxvid --enable-lzma --enable-libfontconfig --enable-libfreetype --enable-frei0r --enable-libass --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libspeex --enable-libsoxr --enable-libzmq --enable-libzimg --disable-libjack --disable-indev=jack --enable-videotoolbox libavutil 57. 17.100 / 57. 17.100 libavcodec 59. 18.100 / 59. 18.100 libavformat 59. 16.100 / 59. 16.100 libavdevice 59. 4.100 / 59. 4.100 libavfilter 8. 24.100 / 8. 24.100 libswscale 6. 4.100 / 6. 4.100 libswresample 4. 3.100 / 4. 3.100 libpostproc 56. 3.100 / 56. 3.100 Input #0, rtsp, from 'rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.197/Streaming/Channels/101': Metadata: title : Media Presentation Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (Main), yuvj420p(pc, bt709, progressive), 1920x1080, 30 tbr, 90k tbn Stream #0:1: Audio: aac (LC), 16000 Hz, mono, fltp

After starting unifi-cam-proxy, the cam shows up as connected in Unifi Protect and thumbnails work, but the stream is just black.

Here are the commands I've tried:

podman run --net=host --name test-cam-proxy -v "./client.pem:/client.pem" docker.io/keshavdv/unifi-cam-proxy unifi-cam-proxy --verbose --ip 192.168.1.197 --host 192.168.1.1 --mac 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' --cert /client.pem --token xyz rtsp -s rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.197/Streaming/Channels/101

Log (I think I scrubbed all identifying info)

podman run --net=host --name test-cam-proxy -v "./client.pem:/client.pem" docker.io/keshavdv/unifi-cam-proxy unifi-cam-proxy --verbose --ip 192.168.1.197 --host 192.168.1.1 --mac 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' --cert /client.pem --token xyz hikvision -u admin -p password

Log

Guessing maybe the Hikvision plugin requires the cam to have ONVIF. Despite being Hikvision made and having a standard Hik RTSP URL, these cams do no have ONVIF. In addition, they have no web UI--the only way I can configure them is using Hikvision's batch configuration tool.

But seems like the rtsp method should be working? Not sure why it's not.

Much appreciate any help. Ideally I would like to use ffmpeg settings to minimize the CPU load by avoiding transcoding.
