hi there,

i use this code for the Reolink Camera and the "stillImageSource" after i changed from http// to https// the stllimage works perfekt but the rest doesn't (see the code at the end).

i get this error message

24/01/2022, 22:08:35] [CameraUI] CAMERA NAME: FFmpeg exited with code: 1 and signal: null - [tcp @ 0x322cac0] [error] Connection to tcp://192.168.181.94:554?timeout=0 failed: Connection refused - [error] rtsp://USER:XXX@192.168.181.94:554/h264Preview_01_main: Connection refused [24/01/2022, 22:08:35] [CameraUI] CAMERA NAME: Stopped video stream.

and here is the code:

Hi,

As a RLC 822A owner I can help 🙂 this camera is a 4K one so the main stream doesn't support h264 but h265. Since camera UI currently only support rtsp over h264 here is the configuration you need to apply in your videoConfig:

"videoConfig": {
    "source": "-i rtsp://user:password@192.168.181.94:554/h264Preview_01_sub",
    "subSource": "-i rtsp://user:password@192.168.181.94:554/h264Preview_01_sub",
    "stillImageSource": "-i  https://192.168.181.94/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=XXX&password=XXX",
    "rtspTransport": "tcp",
    "maxStreams": 2,
    "vcodec": "copy",
    "acodec": "libfdk_aac",
    "stimeout": 10,
    "audio": false
}

If you have the latest firmware version v3.1.0.764_21121707 or above (for users in the future) you need to enable RTSP.

Simplest way is to use the web interface using https https://<your camera ip address> then:

• login
• click on settings (top right gear icon)
• click on Network Settings
• Port Settings (yes that's somewhat related to ports)
• Enable RTSP

I had this issue yesterday after updating my cameras 🙂
