Add Tp-link camera

Configuration
1

I tried to add a TP-Link camera, I followed Pierre Gilles’ tutorial and went to the site to check the firmware of my camera.

After adding the link with the username and password as indicated,

rtsp://identifiant:mot de passe@adresse ip/stream1
I still had a connection error. After several attempts I almost gave up.

I changed my username and password and then, miracle, it worked.

My first username was my email address so it included an @. I suspected that this would not work.

2 solutions:

  • mention not to use an email address
  • allow using an email address

It applies to all URLs regardless of the protocol or Gladys.

username@host

So if your username is your email address that causes a problem because the hostname becomes

Gmail.com@192.168.1.1

So if you want to use your email address (not much point in my view) you must replace the @ in your email address with %40 in the URL.

Thanks Vincent for your feedback.
I changed my username to run a test and it worked.

It’s mainly to inform others who might be in the same situation.
