I hosted Frigate outside of HASS so I could have access to my NAS storage. Looks like this is a trade-off. Thanks.

Looks like it needs some work to work together. In the mean time you could also configure the cam in home assistant natively e.g. generic to experiment

Is anyone having an issue with the Nest Hello that will show the feed but any movement in the feed makes the image messed up pixelation? My two other newer Nest Cam Battery are fine no issue.

I can’t figure out why WebRTC is not working on my system. I’ve tried everything I could find and also followed the video in 1st post. When I configure my camera cards to “live” the cameras appear in the addon GUI but when previewing them, out of the 4 formats, the webRTC one never loads so my picture-glance cards are black.

The camera feeds are provided by a Hikvision NVR on different subnet 192.168.3.x while HA is on 192.168.1.x. The NVR itself is blocked from accessing the internet but everything on the network should have access to it. I can view the camera feeds in HA using the generic camera integration but performance is terrible especially if I use the 8MP (4K) camera feed. Unfortunately the NVR only provides that, or a super low resolution feed (useless). As far as I recall, all cameras and NVR are set to H264, max resolution, max bitrate and audio enabled if available. Not sure whether there are any other relevant settings.

Below is an example of how my cameras are configured (they are all Hikvision but several different models):

  - platform: generic
    name: IP Camera
    username: "username"
    password: "password"
    authentication: digest
    verify_ssl: false
    still_image_url: http://192.168.3.99:65003/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture
    stream_source: rtsp://username:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/301

Please note that the NVR uses different port numbers to point to appropriate still image, and different channel numbers to point to the specific camera. Channels 101, 201, 301 are the highest resolution stream for cameras 1, 2 and 3. For the still images, you use ports 65001, 65002 and 65003.

My network is 100% based on Unifi equipment. I wonder whether there are any settings I need to look at to enable this to work. I do constantly update the firmware (beta releases) so it’s possible something changed on their end. I have not made any changes to my networking equipment related to this addon.

After rebooting HA I saw this in the Core logs:

2022-03-24 09:29:36 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Config entry 'http://192.168.1.41:8083' for rtsp_to_webrtc integration not ready yet: RTSPtoWeb server communication failure: Cannot connect to host 192.168.1.41:8083 ssl:default [Connect call failed ('192.168.1.41', 8083)]; Retrying in background

The webRTC GUI comes up fine at http://192.168.1.41:8083 and it only shows streams I set to ‘live’ but the webRTC streams never work.

The add-on log does not have any errors in it:

Moments ago I tried to change the log level to DEBUG and I disabled SSL Verification to see if it would help. No change.

Is the RTSP port number correct? Should it not be 554? I tried both but did not notice any change.

This is what I see on the addon web GUI (obviously the feeds are not pixelated):

Last, it seems that having this running uses quite a bit of CPU resources. Glances shows 13% CPU usage with only 3 of my 9 cameras showing in the stream list. My HA is running in Proxmox VM on a dedicated machine (i7-8700 with 32GB ram) and I reserved 6 CPU threads out of 12, and 6GB ram to HA. Should be fine but wondering whether once all streams work I might have a load issue.

Any suggestions on what may be causing my webRTC streams to not work?

EDIT: Adding snippet of debug logs

Hi, the thing here to focus on is the error from the config entry first (you listed like 3 or 4 issues so let’s narrow down to one) and getting the streams that do work in the add-on working in home assistant. Home assistant can’t connect to the integration so it’s not working in home assistant.

To confirm: This is running as an add-on or as a standalone container? If add-on: Did you set up the integration yourself or was it auto discovered?

The add-on typicality runs on the host network but maybe trying http://127.0.0.1:8083 could work if home assistant can’t talk to it’s network ip for some reason. The ideal option is to use auto discovery, so you can remove the integration, restart, make sure the add-on is started, and let home assistant suggest to configure, then it will use the correct host:port which may not necessarily be the same host port you use from your own browser.

@allenporter I am not familiar with all the terms however I installed the HA image with its own OS and added the webRTC addon. I believe I had installed the integration myself however I just removed it and after a reboot it was in my list of integrations. I hit the Configure button and clicked through prompts (I was not asked for any settings).

3 cameras show up as they are the only ones I set to “live” in a testing dashboard view. However, the webRTC feed does not work on any of them. I added set another camera to live and it automatically was added to my list of streams.

I am also seeing multiple instances of this error in my Supervisor logs. I believe they vanish when I disable webRTC addon but am not certain.

Edit: If I click on Open Web UI it now fails as it tries to load my Nabu Casa URL with 8083 port appended to it.

Edit2: The web UI is however still accessible from the HA IP:8083 (internal network IP)

Edit 3: I returned to my computer after a while and refreshed the dashboard where the webRTC feeds should display, and noticed this in the logs:

Hello @allenporter any idea on my question why the Nest Hello shows video but any movement and the video feed goes pixelated.

Thanks

allenporter · March 25, 2022, 4:18am

Seems like the supervisor log issue is caused because the Watchdog setting is enabled: Supervisor errors · Issue #47 · allenporter/stream-addons · GitHub – i think its because this doesn’t use a standard port because its on host network, and uses a separate port configuration method.

Let’s again focus on the error logs from the integration only, and ignore things like supervisor errors for a moment. Did the integration setup properly on the home assistant side? Does that crash happen immediately the first time a request is made or hours later?

allenporter · March 25, 2022, 4:58am

Hi. I have a Nest Hello video doorbell and never noticed this before. My doorbell sits with no movement as you can imagine. I just decided to fire up and test this out and saw what you are talking about: it looked like the predator or something. Want to file an issue at GitHub - deepch/RTSPtoWeb: RTSP Stream to WebBrowser ? If you record a screen capture of it happening it could likely help show the issue.

I disabled watchdog and it appears to have fixed that error.

I setup another instance of HASS running on an RPI4 w/ SSD. I added the add-on and after configuring the generic cameras integration, I let HA offer to install the integration. Once installed the web UI showed the cameras but the webRTC feed is black for all of them.

Could there be an issue with my network setup or with my Hikvision NVR?

As for that crash, it was the first time I saw it, but I also don’t monitor at the logs unless I am trying to fix something.

The logs on the RPI system seem to say that the cameras are offline. Is there some protocol / access rights / etc that I need to enable / set up on the NVR?

I added one of the cameras skipping the NVR and I have the same issue… no webRTC feed.

While looking at the various camera feeds in the webRTC web UI of the RPI system, I believe it crashed again as the browser could no longer load the UI. I was noticing that the camera configured skipping the NVR was performing poorly compared to when it is via the NVR. HLSLL was very dark and not loading, while HLS and MSE looked fine. After starting the addon again all is back to normal on that camera (except no webRTC feed):

Hi, glad the integration was able to find the service and that part seems to be working. Consider filing an issue with GitHub - deepch/RTSPtoWeb: RTSP Stream to WebBrowser given it seems like the streams are having issues.

KingRichard · March 25, 2022, 12:24pm

Hi @allenporter, again great work on the addon.

However need some clarification because I got several working problem.

Upon installation of the addon the webUI is not reachable accept if I access it via http://IP:8500. My current HA supervised setup are connected via NGINX Proxy that work for all my addon accept this one. WebUI redirecting towards https://mydomain:8500 which is unreachable.
In point 1 problem the integrations still run perfectly for all my Yi and Sonoff Cam and very pleasing sight. However the problem goes to my Reolink expensive Camera which somehow did not work at all. Best generic setting for Reolink is via RMTP which is not supported. Setup on RTSP some how are very slow, glitchy and broken. Maybe somebody who are running Reolink Cam can give some light on fixing the problem.

This is my current setup:

  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: Front Garage Cam
    input: "rtmp://192.168.x.x/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=uname&password=upass"

Try this code but glitchy

  - platform: generic
    name: Reolink Cam
    still_image_url: !secret reolink_cam1_picture
    stream_source: "-rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://uname:[email protected]:554/h264Preview_01_main"

Is it possible to run the apps on different docker container other then addon?

allenporter · March 25, 2022, 1:21pm

#1: I’m not sure I follow exactly, but the addon uses host network so it can’t use the add-on ingress settings as far as I know. I’m not familiar with advanced add-on setting here so I don’t have any insights

#2: the home assistant integration doesn’t currently match rtmp url prefixes discussed above w.r.t. frigate

#3: yes. The home assistant integration can auto discovery the add-on, or can be configured with a url pointed at the standalone server.

KingRichard · March 27, 2022, 1:59pm

I’m testing web-to-rtc on different machine running docker. The webRTC working perfectly however when I directed HA to that machine I got error. The only way it working if the webRTC is running as addon.

Any suggestion why? wanna distributed some of the load from main machine.

Hi,
I run RTSPtoWeb I kubernetes and here is my config json inside a k8s configmap: k8s-gitops/configmap.yaml at 13641e717285132bc8106134abe801e4775c88eb · allenporter/k8s-gitops · GitHub

allenporter · March 27, 2022, 2:43pm

Most likely it’s the http password which is demo:demo by default. (R.g. http://demo:[email protected]/ would be the default url for the docker container)

KingRichard · March 28, 2022, 7:24am

Hi @allenporter,

Thank you for all the help and yes its working now. However wondering, have you try running it on https instead of http? I try and docker unable to grab the certificate which I’m not sure how to make it possible since there are no documentation on it. Again thanks for all the help and hopefully you can also help with HTTPS

allenporter · March 28, 2022, 7:52pm

No, I personally don’t use SSL from this as I only have these two seupts (1) using kubernetes ingress to do SSL or (2) using the home assistant OS add-on w/o SSL. Perhaps worth discussing in the upstream project?

paganini · March 30, 2022, 12:28am

This may be a silly question, but I couldn’t find the answer anywhere: The frigate lovelace card mentions using the Native RTSPToWeb and RTSPToWebRTC addons, but I just can’t figure out how it works. If I create “generic” or “ffmpeg” camera, the stream is converted to webRTC correctly, but none of the frigate lovelace live views seem to use it.

I’ve forced the “live_provider” to “ha”, but no deal.

Anyone has examples for those?

Thanks

@allenporter After discovering that the webRTC camera feeds worked fine in Edge (I don’t use it so I only tested Chrome and FireFox), I realized that webRTC was disabled in both the other browsers. I found out by installing a browser plug in that enables/disables it to prevent your IP from being leaked when you are on a VPN. I then took a look at the settings of PureVPN which is installed on both Chrome and FireFox but not Edge and sure enough there was a default on setting which seems to work even when not connected to the VPN. If I turn that off it works just fine.

Mystery solved! Hope it helps others having my same issue!

Summary: Check webRTC settings in your VPN client regardless of you using it or not when the webRTC camera feeds don’t work.

Now I wonder whether turning that off can negate part of the benefit of using a VPN… as far as I know I only use webRTC in this context.

Edit: Not sure how useful this is but in my digging I ran across this (works in Chrome and shows some info on the webRTC streams):
