Not detecting (newbie here)

[smesscle]

Hello sir,

Thanks a LOT for your work this is exactly what I am looking for.

So I am new to everything HA, coding etc.. and I do not know much. I run HA on RPi 5 as an OS. I am having a Tapo camera C200 which I can stream via rtsp on HA.

I have installed : Ha-cam-tag --> all ok

In my /homeassistant/configuration.yaml

I have inserted the below code: I am not sure why to use API here, thus I added # to leave it as a comment (maybe a mistake??)

I have replaced some of the userid and password acaractere by black marker, however please note that the user id is an email address, and the password ends by an @ (in case this would be the issue). Again, I am able to stream the camera on HA dashboard (even using Go2RTC).

I am showing a qr code in front of the camera (more or less far away and in every possible position) but I have no log in the HA events...

Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong. and again sorry for the newbie queries.

Thanks,

[smesscle]

this is my HA version

as well i got this error :

Hi, it looks like you put the configuration for the add-on in the main Home Assistant config. It should go in the addon configuration itself:

[smesscle]

this is the Qr code i am showing to the camera

it contains "Bonjour"

this is my config : *can't put anything in device id without having an error so I left it blanck

I am using a Tapo camera C200 for the test

and this is the log I got

when I show the qr code (printed on a paper) to the camera.

Any idea ?

[smesscle]

I have as well this message

[tmick0]

You can leave the device id as the default unless you have a specific use case for it in your automations.

From these logs, it looks like the rtsp stream isn't working. If you try to load the same URL in something like VLC, can you view it?

Do you see anything else in the add on logs, maybe a "401 Unauthorized" error or similar? Since your stream appears to require user:password auth, it may be an issue with how that is handled.

If you have any special characters in your password, you may need to %-encode them as well

I would have to figure out a way to create a fake IP camera in my test environment to help any further, since the cameras I have access to use a URL parameter as an auth token instead

[smesscle]

hi, thanks for replying,

The rtsp is working fine in VLC and in HA too. I am using Go2RTC and RTSPtoWebRTC

there is no special character in the user and password of the camera : user is : tapocamera password is : bobcat

i am using the same URL to stream in VLC for example.

I noticed the add-on is using quiet a lot the CPU, if ever it helps to troubleshoot :

I do not see "401 Unauthorized" in the logs.

Thanks for your support,

[tmick0]

I think the CPU usage is because the detector thread tries to process frames as fast as the streaming thread reads them, and in this case it seems to be sending a series of empty frames. I should probably add a rate limiter to prevent that.

Thanks for the details, I will try to see if I can reproduce the error. It may take some time, sorry about the wait.

[smesscle]

ok, no issue. thanks for the follow up.
