after digging around i realized that the android ip webcam app does in fact have RTSP( h264_pcm.sdp and h264_ulaw.sdp) and ONVIF streams provided out of the box. currently the integration only supports MJPEG. adding at least RTSP would make it possible to use the camera record service which isnt compatible with MJPEG.
Bump and interesting to obtain.
Relying on device’s auto-recording makes the whole solution dependant on the device’s space, and heats up the android device.
Given that HA already has a built-in possibility to trigger and perform the recording itself, it would be best to integrate it in a way that makes it possibel to leverage it.
As original post mentions, exposing by default of the camera feed the RTSP or onvif streams would be enough.
I know this is an old thread, and this may be a dumb question, but how do i access the rtps or onvif streams from HA? I was using MotionEye as MJPEG but it causes the phone to overheat and i am hoping one of these other methods will improve that…
