Hi, We met some issue with rtsp streamping with OAK-D Pro PoE AF. The issue we met is only display first image frame via VLC client. it seems stopped right after display one image on the VLC client.

Hi @"RyanLee"#p6087 The RTSP streaming might not be ideal for your usecase, as you are just creating RTSP server on the host computer and then forwarding images from the device to other RTSP clients. I would suggest either [TCP streaming](https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-experiments/tree/master/gen2-poe-tcp-streaming), or perhaps [HTTP streaming](https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/samples/Script/script_mjpeg_server/#script-mjpeg-server), so clients can connect directly to the server hosted on the OAK POE itself. Thoughts? Thanks, Erik

Hi @"RyanLee"#p6114 , In theory possible, but not that easy in practice:) Please see conversion [about it here](https://discord.com/channels/790680891252932659/1067856269442043946/1068122639945699359). Thanks, Erik

Hi @"RyanLee"#p6122 , Usually with [Series 3](https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/articles/oak-s3.html). But most customers don't require RTSP, as it's more suited for eg. monitoring cameras (like security cams) than for Spatial AI cameras. Thanks, Erik

Hi @"RalphLyons"#p6552 , It sounds like a cool project, let us know how it goes! Thanks, Erik

rtsp streaming issue with OAK-D Pro PoE AF

Hi,

We met some issue with rtsp streamping with OAK-D Pro PoE AF. The issue we met is only display first image frame via VLC client. it seems stopped right after display one image on the VLC client. So have you had this kind of expriences??

I prepared summary of our test evironment and items for its verification.

4-1. VLC Client Connection, right after one image displaied, it do not updated. So i seems stopped.

Another samples working fine now. such as WebRTC streaming and MJPEG streaming.

Again so could you pleae give us some advice for rtsp steaming issue we met now?

Hi erik

i have one more question. Can they make OAK PoE as a sever for RTSP streaming??

Best regards,
Ryan.

Hi RyanLee ,
In theory possible, but not that easy in practice🙂 Please see conversion about it here.
Thanks, Erik

RyanLee

Hi erik

Thank you for your valuable feedback for us. and I have one more question in order to make all clear for us.
Then How your customer usally use rtsp streamping? when?? as a rtsp client like us?? or server?? Based on your answer new question is coming now. if you can, please share its use case of rtsp straming for our reference.

Best regards,
Ryan.

I agree that RTSP is more suited for security cameras... but I also submit there is a significant market that would want spatial AI cameras as part of a security system.

The onboard AI would be an excellent way to integrate Luxonis cameras into existing camera systems. I recognize that doesn't appear to be your target market - but I could picture easing that use case would be very beneficial to the company.

Thank you, Chris

Hi uberdome ,
You have a point there. Frankly, no one from our team has any experience with security systems/market, but if you have and you would be willing to hop on a quick call I would love to learn more about it. Is so, please send an email to erik@luxonis.com. Perhaps we are really overlooking a big potential and should really get the rtsp implemented🙂.
Thanks, Erik

@erik, email sent.

Hi,
I bought a few of the Oak-D Lite cameras in hope to get them to work as video door bells for front door and side gates. I tried the example and got the same results as above with a still image on VLC network stream, but after reading through some of the github issues I tried the ffplay in another terminal window and it worked for me.

Running camera on Pi 4B and tried VLC on network windows laptop through vlc to host pi.

I will try the rtsp feed on home assistant as this was part of my goal to see if I could implement them as cameras around the house.
