Question

hello I'm trying to use RTSP, a CCTV communication protocol, with yolo8 images. Should I use tcp as the protocol? Should I use the rtsp protocol?

When the communication protocol is Reverse, is the communication method TCP?

I would like to inquire whether you used the TCP protocol when doing the project.

port: 558 
protocol: TCP ==> Should I change it to rtsp?
targetPort: 558

bind: 558 mode tcp => Should I change it to rtsp? option tcplog =>Should I change it to rtsplog?

Hello! 😊

For integrating RTSP streams with YOLOv8 for CCTV footage analysis, you indeed need to use the RTSP protocol in your configurations. Typically, RTSP streams operate over TCP/IP, but when specifying the protocol for YOLO inference, you should directly use the RTSP URI format.

Here's a simple snippet to use an RTSP stream with YOLOv8:

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Initialize YOLO model
model = YOLO('yolov8n.pt')

# Specify your RTSP stream URL
rtsp_url = 'rtsp://your_camera_ip:558/your_stream_path'

# Run inference on the RTSP stream
results = model(rtsp_url, stream=True)

# Process your results here
for result in results:
    result.show()  # Display the frame with detections

Remember to replace 'rtsp://your_camera_ip:558/your_stream_path' with your actual RTSP stream URL.

In summary, for RTSP:

Use the rtsp protocol in your URI.
The connection will indeed utilize TCP behind the scenes, but you specify the protocol as rtsp in your URL.

Hope this clears things up! Let us know if you have any more questions.
