RTSP connection to MotionEye

I have been putting together a security system based on MotionEye on the Raspberry PI. I cannot seem to get the RTSP to connect, does anyone else have experience with this?

I am using motioneyeOS with reolink cameras.

motion (and hence motioneye) only supports certain image resolutions. The default encodings for the reolink cameras *are not* supported. So the first thing is to set the stream encode setting of the camera to something that is supported. For example, I set the "Clear" stream to 720P. Then in motioneye, create a new camera with the url:

rtsp://camera.ip.address:554/hPreview_01_main

And select ("RTSP/TCP"). Then set the camera resolution in motioneye to match the stream output (in this example, 1280x720).

Thank you very much for you sharing.

The Url provided does not seem to be working.
The one that works for me is:

rtsp://[IP]:554//h264Preview_01_main

I had a lot of blurring, delay, and artifacts in the feed when using both of these URLs.

Using only this: rtsp://[CameraIP], gave me a great clear video.

Using rlc-420-5mp and PoE. MotionEye 0.41. Ubuntu 18.04.

Sorry to tell you that the Reolink product might not work with Motioneye because we haven't tested it before. So sorry about that. But please do not hesitate to contact us if you need the RTSP data or other information for Reolink camera.

@cynthia_124785627824270 I wish there was a manual for the reolink Go. The support page has a Setup section, but I can't sort the tutorials to show only articles for my camera.

RTSP connection to MotionEye

You can stream live video from your MotionEye-powered camera by using the RTSP protocol. This can be used for home security applications, or even to make a live video feed available to your friends and family.

In order to use this feature, you will need a RTSP-compatible player (such as VLC). Once you have installed VLC, you can use it to connect to the following URL:

rtsp://your.camera.ip.address:8085/unicast
