[Request] RTSP(S) Cam live stream support

@ChrisG generally Athom is not really keen on separate apps which are needed by other apps, aka some kind of library

Sorry that’s not true. Homey offers a API that makes exactly that possible. I myself have written an TelemetryCollector App that makes extensive use of the API and haven’t had any problems with Atom in that regard.

There are also various “well-known” apps such as Simple(Sys)Log, MQTT Client, etc. that also use the interface.

Edit:

It’s certainly a little tricky to get the interface up and running. But you can take a look at my code, the way I’ve implemented it, it should run without any problems (so far).

This is something that Homey itself should offer.

That’s true. But I also wrote a TelemetryCollector app just because there is no decent app logging.

But we know athom and can’t wait until the cows come home..:man_shrugging:..

@ChrisG I understand and I am aware of that. But I remembered there was a better logic library for developers which was not preferred by athom

Also I don’t really like the idea that every user of Eufy should install a secondary app to make video stream possible

For me is not clear… What is the correct step to see video streaming on homey? My version is the last, but I have no evidence to see camera on live

The Homey app (integration) of your camera manufacturer needs to support the new feature, I except updates from different developers to com available in the coming weeks.

Thx, I have 4 Ajax cam (onvif compatible) and 2 ring doorbell

ONVIF support doesn’t necessarily mean streaming is possible, and I’m not even sure if Ring supports streaming through third party software (AFAIK it doesn’t on Home Assistant).

Wow how

In Ajax rtsp link is visible. Any idea to see it on homey?

@Mark1541 I made a quick demo app a couple of weeks ago.

Nice and you are going to release that then ?

Where? Could you post the link?

This app isn’t something that’s worth releasing. It’s literally just adding a camera by entering a RTSP url. I’m sure there are more talented devs that can make something more useful.

This is something the built-in Virtual Camera Device should have.

Wait for the AJAX app (if there is one) to support it.

No Ajax app, but @Matteo_Foroni Adrian has added RTSP support to his Onvif test app version.
If your Ajax cam can be added as Onvif app device, you can see what works (or not):

Actually, the stream function is only available in the device secion an not on the dashboard, right? Or do i miss something?
