The memory can be quite high due to fetching the images and higher resolution images will possibly use more memory. However it should be a temporary increases while it is transferring.
I will go back through the code to make sure I haven’t made any mistakes in the SDK3 update.
I am currently looking for the perfect camera to control my driveway lighting. I saw that the Reolink “RLC-520” camera was fully functional, but I’m afraid of false positives on motion detection.
The “RLC-520A” version appears to be more efficient at identifying humans and cars but I am not sure if it will be fully functional with the app.
So I wanted to know if anyone had tested the Reolink “RLC-520A” camera.
RAM usage is still (too) high imho. I restarted the app every morning;
But not this morning, and now it’s rising to 55MB’s…
The cam’s barely send pics, just a few a day.
That’s strange. This is mine over the last 7 days, with 7 cameras, 3 of which are getting triggered quite regularly and the app has not been restarted in that time.
Also version 2.0.3 running on Homey v7.2.1-rc2.
At my home I am using Uniview cctv system or UNV, I can confirm that two models are working perfectly which are IPC2328SBR5-DPZ and IPC324ER3-DVPF28, I assume that all models will work with homey.
I tried to connect the whole system through the nvr, the will list all cameras in my house but nothing works, those two are connected through poe switch.
Could you open the Homey phone app and navigate to More > Apps > ONVIF Camera > Configure App. Then select the log tab, change the LOG LEVEL to Basic Information.
Now go back through the add devices procedure to add the cameras. Once completed, go back to the log tab and tap on Send Log.
Could you expand on ‘nothing works’, e.g. are the cameras added to Homey? If so, do you see a place for an image when you open the tile, etc
great work!
wo import OEM Cameras directly from a Company in Shenzen. They added Onvif Support some years ago - and the rtsp streams work fine on port 554 on all NVR´s.
weird thing is tha tusing your app i sometimes discover all cams (3 in test environment) sometimes only 1. when i try to connect i get a protocol that i sent you some minutes ago.
any help on this? i could also send you a camera for testing purpose if this would help.
I have looked at the log and can see that it has found 2 cameras. Then when you try to connect to one it doesn’t respond to the request. The Request error (192.168.2.184): socket hang up means that there was no reply. Could you check with the manufacture to see if the camera supports the ONVIF “Get system date and time” feature?
Unfortunately Homey can’t process the rtsp so the camera would also need to provide a snapshot URL that provides a jpg image.
The random number of cameras detected could be a timing issue. The app waits for 5 seconds for all the cameras to respond. Each camera should receive the broadcast message and then send a reply. If more than one camera replies at the same time then the standard network collision detection and retry feature should step in. I have tried to increase the scan period before but then the Homey discovery request times out.
I would be happy to do more testing if you send a camera but I can’t guarantee to make it work if the protocol is not fully implemented on the camera.
No problem. I like to keep on top of support questions so they don’t back up. With 14 apps to look after it can sometimes get busy
Correct. Homey only allows each app a small amount of processor time so that it stay responsive to all the tasks it has to perform. Processing the rtsp data is an intensive task so it hasn’t been catered for, as in there is no way to show the video.
Could you open the log page (More > Apps > ONVIF Camera > Configure App > Log tab), make sure the log is set to Detailed Information, then tap on Clear Log. Next try to add a camera and after it has failed, go back to the log tab and tap on Send Log.
I use the app for a Hikvision camera but I connected directly to it so I’m not sure if it will work through the NVR.
