Non Cloud RTSP streaming camera?
From: Michael Harrison Via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ For a project currently running 50+ Foscam camera's: T5EP 3K and older. Starting to look for a reasonable cost (sub $250) camera that simply does an RTSP stream, POE would be nice. 1 to 4k wide angle, Indoor, wall mountable, although I can make custom mounts. But specifically one that does not "call home" or need an app to configure. Something we can DHCP to an address, set (or just use) credentials for an RTSP stream. No AI, No motion capture, No storage.. Just a smooth RTSP stream. Doesn;t even have to be high resolution. I've tried some Wyse, Reolink and others, but they all seem to need, or at least expose themselves to upstream servers. I can block that, but that's also how they get configured and managed as well as monitored. Side note: For a while, WYSE had a nice firmware build that enabled RTSP, but those "bricked". Or, do we need to just build it? Sigh... Anyone know of something simple like that?=============================================================== From: Tommy Pirtle Via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Reolink has been great in my experience. All my cameras are on a dedicated VLAN with no internet access. They pull a DHCP lease automatically, and I can handle all configuration through the web UI without needing to connect to any external services. I'm running 6 Reolinks (and a handful of random other brands) connected to Frigate NVR, all isolated, and mostly using RTSP, with no issues. st t
=============================================================== From: Joe Freeman Via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ You might want to look at the Axis Communications cameras. As I recall they will meet all those requirements.... except maybe cost per unit. They sell through distribution so final unit cost will depend on the deal you work out with your vendor. Joe st t
=============================================================== From: Aaron welch Via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Mike, have you checked out the Frigate compatibility list? Frigate has the same requirements you are looking for from a data transmission standpoint. I have a couple of projects that have similar requirements and that is where I began my journey. -Aaron Aaron Welch Chief Mechanic @ Geek Ventures 423-505-9999 n2nightfall@gmail.com "Enabling people to do great things with their own ideas." d t s ust ,
=============================================================== From: Michael Harrison Via chugalug ------------------------------------------------------ Joe, Axis. Forgot about them. They've been around a long long time. Proud of their stuff they are, still. Tommy, The manual for the Reolinks only mention using the "app". Because you mentioned they still had it, found the supported models list and am going to give a modern ReoLink RLC-820A a try. It looks similar to the Fosscam's we are using. Thanks.
