      Hi everyone, do you know how I would do this? I have a 8 channel Annke DVR analogue cameras not IP, I can view them via a web browser but a plugin is needed to be installed before I can view them.

        You just need to find out if you can access an RTSP stream for the cameras through the DVR. Not sure which exact model you have but:

        First, check here: https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Annke

        Second, I found this after a Quick google search:
        According to this thread here, you can access an RTSP stream for each of the cameras using the following:

        rtsp://[username]:[password]@[ip]:[port]/[codec]/[channel]/[subtype]/av_stream
        username such as admin
        password such as 12345
        ip: device IP, such as 192.0.0.64
        port: 554
        codec: h264, MPEG-4 or mpeg4
        channel: channel number, such as channel one is ch1
        subtype: type of steam. main stream is main and substeam is sub

        For example:
        main stream of channel 1
        rtsp://admin:12345@192.0.0.64:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream

        substream of channel 1
        rtsp://admin:12345@192.0.0.64:554/h264/ch1/sub/av_stream

          Since i updated to the actual RTSPStream version i have a new issue.
          The whole mirror crashes for some reason (black screen) and only the stream is still showing.
          This is not on a regular basis, after some hours it happens.
          Rebooting and everything is fine again.

          I have not updated yet to the new MM version (because of all the issue threads in the forum)

          Any idea?

            Is there anything that shows up in the server or console log? Can you run the mirror using npm start dev to monitor the electron console for logs and let me know what the error is?

            I had already upgraded my mirror to the new version, there may be a dependency or change that is effecting it that I missed.

              Sorry to hijack this thread.
              Are there any log’s created to investigate why a video feed will not display in the MM.
              omxplayer will stream the feed fine from the command line, using
              sudo omxplayer -o hdmi rtsp://0.0.0.0:554/onvif1

              Any advice gratefully received…

              Thanks.

                udp protocol needed for my doorbell rtsp feed!
                Just needed to add the protocol: “udp”,
                instead of typical tcp.
                Feed appeared after a few seconds!
                At last!

                  Hi,
                  thanks for this great module.
                  One question.
                  I am using a bird cam with another rpi
                  This “live stream” directly coming from the birds housing is available under the IP
                  “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
                  Unfortunately i am was not able so far, to “show” this live stream on my magic mirror.
                  The link that i used in the config file for this module was:
                  “rstp://http://…”
                  “http://…”
                  “rstp://…”

                  The Bird Cam uses “RPI CAM Control V6.2.31”

                  Can anybody help?
                  Thanks a lot

                    @Vauxdvihl – when you open the stream in your browser, do you need any special plugins to view it?

                    Without digging too deep, it looks like this is a MJPEG stream, which can be viewed without any special software in the browser. For these kind of streams it’s easiest to just use the MMM-iframe module to show the stream.

                    If you don’t want to show the controls the page generates, you can find the link directly to the camera image by viewing the source of the camera stream page.

                        It works. But I have issue with global zoom.

                        With the zoom value 1.5, the module size is enlarged by 1.5 while the actual video feed is not.

                        How do I fix this ?

                        Thanks
