Yes, I did. I also tried it without a userid and password. Oddly enough, I have the RTSP stream URL in the motion camera config file without a userid and password and it works fine.

Adding this one RTSP camera ran the CPU utilization up to around 200% (I believe this Pi has a quad-core CPU). Is this typical for RTSP? Is there any way to reduce the load for this protocol? I want to add several more cameras but cheap wireless outdoor IP cameras that support MJPEG seem to be hard to come by nowadays. >>>>> >>>>> What is the resolution of the mjpeg cameras and what is the rtsp one? >>>>> >>>>> Also what is frame rate of both? >>>>> >>>>> Colin >>>>> >>>>> David >>>>> >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Motion-user mailing list >>>>> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>>>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>>>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>>>> >>>>> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >>>>> >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Motion-user mailing list >>>>> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>>>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>>>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>>>> >>>>> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >>>>> >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Motion-user mailing list >>>>> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>>>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>>>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>>>> >>>>> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Motion-user mailing list >>>> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>>> >>>> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Motion-user mailing list >>> Mot...@li... >>> <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>> >>> Unsubscribe: >>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Motion-user mailing list >>> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >>> https://motion-project.github.io/ >>> >>> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Motion-user mailing list >> Mot...@li... <mailto:Mot...@li...> >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user >> https://motion-project.github.io/ >> >> Unsubscribe:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user > _______________________________________________ > Motion-user mailing list > Mot...@li... > <mailto:Mot...@li...> > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user > https://motion-project.github.io/ > > Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user > > > > _______________________________________________ > Motion-user mailing list > Mot...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/motion-user > https://motion-project.github.io/ > > Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/options/motion-user |
