Can not start video analysis, camera not reachable. Trying again in 60s..

[FezVrasta]

Describe the bug The camera does not show up in Apple Home and I get this error:

[CameraUI]  WARNING  Sala Cam: Can not start video analysis, camera not reachable. Trying again in 60s..

If I open the stream from the Homebridge Camera UI interface it opens correctly, but if I open it from the Camera UI web interface it tells the camera is offline and I get this error on the browser console:

If I go to /settings/cameras and then open the Videoanalysis section, I can see the camera stream properly.

I tried to directly ping from node using nodejs-tcp-ping and I get the same ping error, if I use the unix ping utility everything works correctly though.

If I replace that package with icmp the ping succeeds though, the problem is that the package doesn't seem to work on the unprivileged user used by Homebridge on DSM. I was able to workaround the issue by making the ping command always return true so far. Shortly after I realized by NAS is not powerful enough to support this so I removed it 🤷‍♂️

To Reproduce I'm using this configuration:

 {
    "name": "Sala Cam",
    "manufacturer": "Wyze",
    "model": "Wyze Cam Pan",
    "serialNumber": "xxxxxxxxxx",
    "motion": true,
    "motionTimeout": 15,
    "unbridge": true,
    "hsv": true,
    "prebuffering": false,
    "prebufferLength": 4,
    "videoConfig": {
        "source": "-i rtsp://wyze:xxxxxxxx@10.0.0.15/live",
        "subSource": "-i rtsp://wyze:xxxxxxxx@10.0.0.15/live",
        "stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://wyze:xxxxxxxx@10.0.0.15/live",
        "maxStreams": 1,
        "vcodec": "copy",
        "acodec": "libfdk_aac",
        "audio": true
    },
    "smtp": {
        "email": "Sala Cam"
    },
    "videoanalysis": {
        "active": true
    },
    "mqtt": {}
}

Expected behavior

Camera should work.
