Not getting any data

[RogerHardiman]

you can grab my email address from www.rjh.org.uk
Send me over a username and password for the camera and I'll take a quick look.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response!

I cannot seem to reach the website you posted, maybe due to limitations posed by my ISP, could you post your email address here and I will send you credentials?

Best

works fine for me.
I modified the wowza example and made 4 changes
put in the username
put in the password
put in the URL
changed the connection type to tcp

If I try and connect with UDP it does not work. It is possible your RTSP URL needs to be slightly different for UDP connections

[RogerHardiman]

Just looked at my Hik cameras - the URL is the same for TCP and UDP
So I expect the issue is just getting UDP packets out of your network.

so you could stick with a TCP connection (RTP over RTSP) for now

[Tauka]

Thank you! Changing connection to TCP did the trick!

I wonder if this is gonna affect latency as packet retransmissions might cause overhead?

[Tauka]

I will look into server configurations for UDP options

We now can close the issue

[RogerHardiman]

Latency... if you have plenty of bandwidth then TCP mode does not add any latency because
A) there is no packet loss and latency comes from having to wait for a re-transmission
B) you have plenty of bandwidth for all the TCP ACK messages to send back to the camera.

I use TCP mode in many projects as it is much easier to pass through the firewall.

[Tauka]

Good to know! Yeah, bandwidth shouldn't be a problem in my case
