Flux camera with RTSP or with the internal .jpg of the camera

[Archive] Feature request

The goal would be to use either the RTSP stream as currently (which must be complex and resource-intensive) or the JPG images created at regular intervals in a camera folder. By refreshing regularly, you get a more fluid image than what Gladys offers with the RTSP stream (I have the impression that it’s a periodic screenshot). In terms of resources, we should be able to gain a lot as well. Most cameras offer these JPG images (which do not have good resolution) allowing simplified display on websites. RTSP streams are known to be complex to integrate into real-time viewing, making it complicated to create an equivalent of an NVR in JS or PHP.

For example, my two RTSP and JPG configurations (no-name Chinese IP camera):

rtsp://login:password@192.168.XXX.XXX:554/11
192.168.XXX.XXX:2000/web/auto.jpg?-usr=xxxx&pwd=xxxxx

HTML/PHP integration with a refresh on the corresponding

in JS:

no image

If I compare the two results, Gladys and « homemade » installation, the fluidity is clearly on the side of the .jpg management.

It’s normally already possible, you can put whatever you want in the URL, not necessarily an RTSP stream, it can be a URL to a JPG :slight_smile:

I’m testing tonight, I had tried quickly without success.

I tested it and it works (I had forgotten the http:// before the IP address)
If this can help someone, here is my connection parameter:
http://192.168.XXX.XXX:port/web/auto.jpg?-usr=xxxx&-pwd=xxxxx
