Using without unifi camera #49

Closed Ryamonster10 closed 3 years ago

Ryamonster10 commented 3 years ago

Hi! So I have a dream machine in my home and I love it, I use the Network and Access applications and looking into protect. I don't want to replace my existing cameras or buy any Unifi ones and the blue iris UI looks like it is from the 1980s... Protect on the other hand has a modern, simple and esay to use while being functional at the same time. I am not sure how to get a token though. Does any1 know how to do that and or specific instructions for UDMP?

Hi Ryamonster10,

I have posted instructions to create the Unifi-cam-proxy image on a Raspberry Pi 4B for non-Unifi cameras on Protect. It has instructions to create a token generated from your UDMP or UNVR. https://github.com/keshavdv/unifi-cam-proxy/issues/48

Hi! Thanks @jkblm I now have the camera in unifi protect and it records, but it can only live stream for about 5 seconds, then there is a loading icon for about 5 second and it repeats, when I play in VLC it is continuous and smooth. Anybody know the way around that?

@Ryamonster10 what camera are you using?

Please send me your command line you enter into the Pi4B.

Thanks, Jeff

Using a generic rtsp camera, looks buttery smooth in VLC. The command that I’m using is (after going into the directorory of client.pem) unifi-cam-proxy --host 192.168.1.1 --cert client.pem --token “my-token” rtsp -s rtsp://admin:(my-password)@192.168.1.39:80/living-room-cam
