Hello everyone,
I recently purchased several IMOU cameras (Bullet 2C / Cruiser series) and would like to integrate them into openHAB for centralized monitoring.
The cameras are connected to my network and work perfectly in the IMOU Life app. I have also obtained the RTSP stream URL and verified that it is working correctly.
When I open the following RTSP stream in VLC, the live video plays without any issues:
rtsp://username@192.168.xxx.xxx:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
Therefore, I have confirmed that:The camera is online and functioning properly.RTSP is enabled.The username and password are correct.Network connectivity is working as expected.
I then added the camera to openHAB using the IPCamera Binding.
The camera appears to be detected successfully, and some channels (such as online status and snapshots) are updating correctly, which suggests that the binding is communicating with the device.
However, I cannot get the live video stream to display properly:The video widget in Main UI remains blank.The video element in Sitemap stays in a loading state.No obvious errors appear in the browser console.The openHAB logs occasionally show RTSP timeout or stream initialization errors.
I have already tried the following:Upgrading to the latest version of openHABUpdating the IPCamera Binding.Installing the latest version of ffmpeg.Testing both the main stream and sub-stream.Verifying RTSP ports and stream parametersRestarting both openHAB and the camera
Unfortunately, the issue still persists.
My current setup is:
- Camera: IMOU Bullet 2C
- OpenHAB: 4.x
- IPCamera Binding: Latest stable release
- OS: OpenHABian (Raspberry Pi)
Has anyone successfully integrated an IMOU camera with openHAB and displayed the live video stream?
Are there any special RTSP parameters, ONVIF settings, or ffmpeg configurations required for IMOU cameras?
Any suggestions or troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
