RTSP stream link to ImperiHome

integlikewhoa · November 3, 2015, 12:32am

I just put all my cams into Vera using the Blue Iris plugin… was super easy and seems like the easiest way to get it into IH?[/quote]

Imperihome will stream directly to an IP camera.

So settings, Add new system, IP camera.

I stream from BI using the following:

IPaddress:Port/mjpg/CAM_SHORT_NAME/Video.mjpg

IPaddress:Port/image/CAM_SHORT_NAME?q=50&s=100

Thank you guys. I used integlikewhoa’s suggestion to add it as a system in Imperihome and works like a charms. When I addedd a tile with a web address the image was zoomed in badly.

I added my BI cameras as devices to imperihome. Tried restarting Imperihome but I’m still not seeing camera showing up in the api. Tried restarting the tablet and everything

integlikewhoa · November 19, 2015, 2:43am

Did you add user and password for BI when you setup the device.

And

in blueiris options, webserver, do you have “secure only” NOT checked?

Or maybe be more specific by what you mean by “Showing up in the API”… Do you mean the device is know where to be found? It will put it in a room called “IP Cams”

Yes, i don’t need a password to access my camera locally on BI

When I go to

http://tablet IP:8080/api/rest/help/

I can control the tablet and all but not seeing camera to get the camera ID

Can you post a screen shot. Also the camera is fully up and working in the imperihome app already right?

dannieboiz · November 19, 2015, 5:13am

I thinkk you’re right. My camera devices are added as MJPG

I can’t figure out how ot add RTSP streams with BI any pointers?

What is the HTTP command your using for both the still and the live?
What kind of camera?
RTSP will only work if there is no password on the camera
RTSP I think only works with a direct stream from the camera not threw Blueiris.
RTSP is not needed to view the camera in Imperihome or see the camera in the API. So even if your devices are added a MJPEG (mine are) all of this still works.

So with that said I should be able to see it.

I can add the camera into the dashboards and both streams works fine but when I go to the webpage it doesn’t list any camera.

Screenshot?

I think you said you tried already but maybe a force close of the APP and reopen to start and stop the API.

EDIT: You see my screen shots on last page post #32?

dannieboiz · November 19, 2015, 6:00am

forced on the app, restarted, reloaded webpage but no change

I need to look back, but I’m running BETA imperihome and sometimes things come out way before they finally release it.

Do you know if this part of the API has been pushed to public release?
I’m thinking that might be the problem.

integlikewhoa · November 19, 2015, 6:07am

Just went back to page 2 post #26 this was released as BETA

I bet its not a public release yet. Which is why I see it and you don’t.

Curious what’s the benefit of using this HTTP call vs using imperihome plugin to toggle the screen?

I do this through the plugin and have it jump to a dedicated page with the camera then have it jump back to a default screen.

Cool thanks, set my refresh rate to continuous on two cameras that I toggle between and find it to work out ok. I imagine if I had more cameras that I need to display I’d probably appreciate this feature more.

My (720p) RTSP stream is working.
But my previous Samsung tablet showed the RTSP stream near instant. Now with my Teclast X98 Air III tablet (which actually is faster), there is a 10 sec ‘Buffering…’ message, before the stream is shown. Wifi is at excellent level, 72Mbps. Switching resolutions makes no difference. Other media apps like Youtube do not buffer at all.
Opening the RTSP stream in MX Player is also near instant, so my guess is the baked in player handling rtsp stream is the culprit. (awesomeplayer or nuplayer, no difference)

Is this baked into the Android 5.0 rom, or has there been a change in the Imperihome app? How can i get rid of the buffer or reduce it, because this is very annoying. ???
The large buffer also results in a large delay, thus making my front door cam useless.

@integlikewhoa - hey bud.

i had some time this weekend, and though i would try to remove the BI plugin from to free up some memory, and stream all directly to Imperihome.

I tried the above with no luck. Assume in this case, since you are going through BI directly to Imperihome, the IP:port is your Blueiris server and port, and the short name is the same you would have used to get this in Vera?

I do have passwords, so maybe that’s my problem. Also, are you putting ‘http’ at the front of those URLs, or RTSP?

thanks

EDIT. Nevermind… figured it out
