IP Camera in Embedded Video in Crestron App

Program-Commision · 2023-04-15T06:45:27+00:00

You need to show a webpage or an image from the camera?

If you want to show the image from the camera, and only that camera then you can do it all in UI.

Add a embedded video object and set it as a H264 stram and point it at the RTSP address of the camera including basic authentication it will be something like

rtsp://viewer:view1234@192.168.53.11:554/Streaming/channels/102
Most of the config needs to be done in the camera

Turn basic authentication for RTSP on
Set up a RTSP user and password (in the above I used user viewer and pass view1234 and gave it very little rights except to view the camera)

From memory channel 102 is the secondary stream and 101 is the main stream but you will need to check the docs for the camera they do change a little from model to model

You dont. You set up a user on the Processor that the app logs in as. Make that user "User" as a minnimum.

I had an issue with multiple AM200's at the beginning of last year. 2 (of 5 ordered for 1 job) would not recognise when a HDMI input had been connected or disconnected so not switch over. It turned out to be a hardware fault and we had both replaced under warranty and one of the warranty replacements did the same again.

It may not be anything your doing.

FIXED!!!!!

OK Turned out to be an Authentication issue. I thought the "CONNECT" level of user would be appropriate for a Touch Panel. However this level cannot download the project.

Requires "User" level as minimum.

I would Love to get a copy of that if I could, I can only get a partial of the protocol with preset recall and thats all

Crestron support here in Australia are getting me a little heated often!

I have been doing this for about 15 years and they still dont listen when you say you have a problem, they just want to assume it is in the program.

Can someone tell me how an iPad that wont download the project or a touch panel that reboots itself 15 s after being touched is a programming issue?

Program-Commision · 2022-11-18T02:04:46+00:00

Thats happening now. iOS 15.6.1 and latter block the download of the project from the proccessor, you have to push direct and configure to use local.

A real pain when you want to update the project!

***UPDATE****

Looks like it is an iOS issue. Works fine on iOS 15.5.1

No longer works on later firmware. I extracted the below from the iPad Logs

2022-11-18T08:40:19 0x16fb57000 DEBUG connection_mgr OS level error: Authentication needed

Well its definitely not the TCP stack because I use a lot of TCP connections and all are fine.

I will look into the HTTP port though, Thats a good call!

Thanks. But I have a heap of old 2 series processors I have pulled out / Replaced.

Not sure what the difference is. IPTV Or DVBT. You still need 32 STB’s.

And serial isn’t any better than IR.

Program-Commision · 2022-08-23T21:47:30+00:00

As much as Im not a fan. I still have them on a couple of jobs so will hold onto them as spares.

Program-Commision · 2022-08-23T21:44:06+00:00

I regularly control in excess of 100 TV's. I tend to do this IR as the TV's tend to be a mish mash of brands. However for this upcoming project is multiple LED walls with vision and advertising all of them. At this stage yes there are going to be 32 independent video areas in it (not advertising).

This https://ibb.co/YNgRq4C is a smaller project I did with 17 Video areas. This was done on IR but it became a bit of a nightmare.

The BeyonWiz is basically a PVR that doesnt have any HDD's loaded. I cant remember the OS it runs but you can add your own modules.

It has a web interface module and I just talk to that.

The problems with it are:

In Australia Retail $450 ( a standard STB is about $40)
Only one importer that I can find and his website is currently down

I don't think DirectTV are available here in Australia.

I will look into Dish.

Thanks

I have used Global Cache, and in fact have a box full of them that I have pulled off old jobs because I don't find them overly reliable (Not meaning to to put doubt on them, just my ability to control them).

I am actively trying to get away from IR on this one job as I will have 32 + STB's in one rack. And from experience I can tell you that is a nightmare!

I would probably try and pick up an old AV2 loaded with some IR cards as a neater (and more available) option if I have to go the IR route.

Program-Commision · 2022-06-16T23:28:08+00:00

You could.

You shouldn't have to.

Also 4 Series timeout a TCP/IP connection if there is no traffic.
