No video from Buddy3D

I have just managed to install my Buddy3D camera, the setting up was a doddle but getting the camera to stick using the single weak magnet on one edge proved very difficult. I’m half expecting it to detach during printing. Why they didn’t put there stronger magnets on the unit, I don’t know. Then when I went onto Prusa Connect I was very disappointed that I am only seeing snapshots every 10 seconds and not streaming video. Not impressed with the camera at all and wouldn’t recommend it.

Note that the images will be snapshots taken every 10 seconds. The live feed only works in the Prusa App or via a network player such as VLC at the address rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx/live.

 

For a time-lapse, insert a Micro SD card in your Buddy camera.

It’s not live in the Prusa app either unless I’m doing something wrong.

You have to select the Camera image in the Prusa App and then it will open the camera settings. You have to enable the RTSP stream on local network. Why Prusa Connect can't do what the app does is another discussion.
