Someone already managed to get RTSP working? I enabled it in the Prusa app. But can't access it via RTSP. Is it a specific port?

I bet someone will make a tuto to make it work and how to use it out of home too (VPN or something like that).

I was missing the "/live". I just used rtspscanner to also discover this, you were faster. So yes, the camera is using standard port 554, but needs to have the "/live" added to get the stream running. Works fine.

It's 720p 25fps btw.

RE: Buddy3D Camera Firmware 3.1.0

Hello, fyi ...
my camera updated automaticaly. ( after I had to do the old update manualy about 5 month ago ...)

after updating the ios app on my iphone and restarting the app twice, I was able to control the camera and get a liveStream on my phone ( surely in the same local network) 

So this is working - thx .... 
I did not test more like sound or saving to an sd card
Greetings 

Lambert

RE: Buddy3D Camera Firmware 3.1.0

Not yet, I am trying to add mine to Home Assistant.  But without documentation I can not know the correct URL, transport protocol (TCP,UDP,UDP Multicast,HTTP) or Authentication details.

My router reports the camera as a Shenzhen Bilian Electronic Co device.  So I search and found this page.  Unfortunately they seem to make cameras with a very wide variety of protocols.  

I think we need information from Prusa to determine the correct connection settings.

Yaaaay!  I just set mine up last weekend.  I wonder if they fixed the wifi password issue?  I'll have to try later

RE:

Ok, i got it. I was "messing" with onvif camera integration, which is wrong. Steps are:

- add "generic camera" integration
- enter camera's IP 
- enter credentials: maker/password (for connect)

voila! Camera works. Regarding Refresh frequency it seems that camera transmits only at 2Hz, so it doesn't matter if you set higher - picture will still be "choppy". But at least it WORKS! Now i can remove my aliexpress camera from core one cabinet.

 

However, picture is still B&W... can this be changed to color?

RE:

You can enable local Stream now and also control the color mode auto/bw/color!

I have one of my cams mounted on the ceiling, when I use move now, up and down is reverted! Any plans to sync the camera rotation with the movements? 

Is the rtsp stream accessible when enabled from other apps as well?

I have it working but only from the app. In camera detail, there is new play button overlay on the video feed. However when I've tried to sniff the rtsp port on the router, it is different each time i start live feed. The connection opened is to some IP outside of my network.

Ahh.. .why must this be so hidden? It's first below image, and it only says mode (in grey) and either sunshine, moon or letter "A"...

Transport protocol is RTSP, obviously...

So URL is "rtsp://IP-of-camera/live".

I was just missing the "/live"

No authentication.

Anyone got the timelapse setting to work? What format does it need for the partition on the microSD card? How can we access them after the print?

Haven't tried yet since I am away from the machine.  The format is listed on this page.   (supported formats: FAT32, exFAT)

Without testing: FAT32 and I think you'll have to take the card out to access timelapse for now. Will test it in the next days.

Yeah, FAT32 works and now the app shows the space remaining on the card too. But the option for "Permanent timelapses" keeps toggling itself off

My camera only seems to be refreshing about every five minutes.  Anyone else having this issue?

You have to remove the SD card to access the files. The timelapse on the card is a series of JPGs taken every 10 seconds, continuously even when the printer is idle.

Here is a sample video made from the combined images:
