svenvd / rpisurv Goto Github PK

I just installed (first time, pi3) today and I can't get this to start.

No log directory exists in /usr/local/bin/rpisurv

I've tried to run the surveillance.py directly but it fails.

error:

I ran the install script to get this far.

only changes to /etc/rpisurv are rtsp:

essentials:
    #These are the rtsp streams you want the program to display
    #The streams will be displayed in the order you present them here
    camera_streams:
        #Dlink dcs-5222l example
#        - rtsp_url: "rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip or dnsname>:<port>/play1.sdp"
          #Enable this option if you want the rtsp stream to stream over tcp instead of udp, this may solve a "smearing" effect on some setups. Defaults to false
          #Note that you need a version of omxplayer older then 14 March 2016 for this option to work
#          rtsp_over_tcp: true
        #Foscam-fi9821w example
#        - rtsp_url: "rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip or dnsname>:<port>/videoMain"
        #Dahua IPC-HDW4200S example or IPC-HDW4300S
#        - rtsp_url: "rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip or dnsname>:<port>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1"
         - rtsp_url: "rtsp://nvr:7447/59b1c01b90084a188c8a3951_2"
         - rtsp_url: "rtsp://nvr:7447/59b1c01b90084a188c8a3952_2"
         - rtsp_url: "rtsp://nvr:7447/575b2a5b45ce363182a9ec08_2"
         - rtsp_url: "rtsp://nvr:7447/569d46c645ce0ec31ff6f846_2"

Those rtsp urls work in omxplayer directly.

Thanks

First of all thanks for your great script which runs (nearly) charming after a few pitfalls.
My current problem is that 3 of my 4 cams only show a "fuzzy" picture - as well as if streaming "by default" oder "over tcp".

All in all my RasPi uses currently 50-60% CPU

Although this is not a specific problem with rpisurv maybe you have the crucial hint

Hi,

I usage five china camera 2Mpx. In day mode all works wery well.
After change to night mode within an hour the image is delayed by a few minutes.
Do you have a solution?
I use substream 640x480px 15fps.

Wersion of my cameras:

best regards
Krzysztof

I use a ton of raspberry pi's for video playback, but I'd like to occasionally use more powerful hardware without changing underlying software.

For example, an Intel NUC6CAYH supports 4k output and should be able to decode a 4x4 grid of h.264 streams with mplayer using -vo vaapi or ffmpeg using vaapi or opencl.

This would be an incredibly useful modification.

I would be willing to fork out some cash to make this happen, and I'm assuming a few others would pitch in because of how great this would be. I can only get a 3x3 grid of 640x360 streams at 1080p output decoding on a pi3 before it runs out of power. I'm also stuck at an effect 1080p output with the Pi3. I can technically push out 4k15fps which would be fine but I can't decode enough streams to make use of that.

Ultimately I want to stick with rpisurv but have a higher end device that can decode 16x 640x360 stream or maybe even 16x 1024x576 streams, and sometimes just 4x 1080p streams. Those are by resolution options from the Unifi-video cameras I use most of and the occasional axis camera resolutions are pretty close.

Hi,

I've to try install this service on a new RPI and I got Strange error (i take a screen from console)

And It never start.

I've check the rtsp url with VLC on the desktop mode and it works.
When I was in console I've check the network with an apt-get install htop for example and it works too..

So I don't know what to do next if u get a trick or Something to fix this issue :)

Hardware:
Camera IP Axis P1405-LE
RPI 3 Model B with a fresh 2016-03-18-raspbian-jessie

Thanks for your help :)

If it is possible to order screens like
1 screen
2 screen
1 screen

I not find any description about that.

Great script!

I've managed to get two IP cameras connected at the moment (need to figure out the stream IDs for the other two I have, however the image is looking very stretched out of proportions

Any ideas how to fix this?

This is what I get when updating:

Is actually updated or is there something wrong?

What can I do to update it?

I'm unsure where we are going wrong here, I've checked /etc/rpisurv for tabs and all indentation is spaces per the example file, yet on reboot I get the following

[FAILED] Failed to start Rpisurv Raspberry Pi Surveillance.
See 'systemctl status status rpisurv.service' for details.

Running sudo journalctl -u rpisurv gives me these logs.

I'm not sure where to look next. If I run omxplayer directly I get

$ omxplayer rtsp://192.168.1.10:8228/h264 --live --hw --blank
* failed to open vchiq instance
$ sudo chmod a+rw /dev/vchiq
$ omxplayer rtsp://192.168.1.10:8228/h264 --live --hw --blank

I then get a full screen stream as expected.. I'm not sure where to look now to translate this into a working instance of the rpisurv service.

Using omxplayer on raspbian, i can get mjpeg streams to play from command line with a http cgi address:

http://192.168.1.45:2080/videostream.cgi

Is there a way to add this to /etc/ripsurv config to add it to my existing (currently 3) h264 streams? When i enter rtsp_url: "http://192.168.1.45:2080/videostream.cgi" rpisurv starts, but the mjpeg stream never starts.

2018/01/16 20:10:44 - l_default - ERROR - 192.168.1.45 : 2080 Not Connectable (failed socket connect)

Obviously it's trying to use RTSP protocol instead of http. How to override?

Hi,
Firstly, a big thanks for such an awesome app. Ive just started benchtesting and so far so good.
Just wanted to know about the custom images to replace the stock 'connecting', 'no connection' and 'placeholder' images.
Are there any image or file size constraints for these to work?
I tried some basic 1920x1080 pngs in the /images folder, but after a restart the rpi still shows the stock images.

Secondly, would there be any possibility to add a custom watermark or overlay a static image in a corner of the screen?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

i followed the steps but cant get it to work, can you help me?

I'm having an issue where a pi 3 w/ 6 videos pulling rtsp from a unifi-video server (low quality ie '2' streams) is occasionally dropping a display off.

I'm rebooting the unit at 4am every day to keep this to a minimum, but it's still happening about once a week and is down until the reboot. A reboot always cures it.

Any suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks.

Just got things setup and manually starting rpisurv with cd /usr/local/bin/rpisurv; python surveillance.py and it comes up with - Invalid framerate 90000, using forced 25fps and just trust timestamps have a nice day ;) and just keeps trying to connect to the stream. The stream works in VLC and QT. Says its connectable. Not sure what the issue is? Logs basically repeat the same.

This is what the command line says after configure and launch it:

pi@pi2recepcion /usr/local/bin/rpisurv $ python surveillance.py

I have more than 4 cameras I'd like to display, but I'm happy to have them cycle. Any thoughts on adding support for cycling through streams?

I can not adjust the picture to the resolution of the screen, image from the cameras is shifted to the upper left corner of the screen FOTO

Hi, I registered to request a feature if it's possible.

I am running your script on my rPI B+. Works like a charm. So my request:
When a rtsp stream goes down for example on a 2x2 matrix (with 4 urls defined in the config file) I do not want to recalculate , but leave the 4 windows and just display a black screen or a message "disconnected" or something. Because for example with 2 streams only the image looks weird , verticaly stretched on 4:3 and 16:10 also. 3 streams is quite ok but , the 2x2 would be the best for window size ratio.
Could you add an option into the config file to turn on/off this recalculation+resizing.

Thanks

Great stuff here @SvenVD - got it going eventually but ran into some funny issues along the way, namely permissions on running install.sh. /usr/local/bin/rpisurv never got created, neither did /home/pi/surveillance

Ended up copying the contents of surveillance/conf into /usr/local/bin/rpisurv & everything fell into place.

Curious if you know of a way to stream an mjpeg stream in this way(autonomous, service-monitoring, stable fps). I'm using https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos for the camera side but am looking to setup a chromeless/fullscreen monitor to stream the images to.

I can see handling for a ctrl-C key combo in the code however not seeing it kill the worker process. Any other way to stop the worker process?

Hi,
I just installed rpisurv and got it working fine with a 4x4 grid showing 16 cameras from 2 different hikivision stand alones.
Now I need to show 25 cameras in a 5x5 grid, but only 16 cameras are shown.
I already increase gpu memory up to 640mb, but still don't work.
I also already tried all 25 rtsp links with vlc and all of them are working.
Can you help me fix this issue?

I am experiencing the smearing effect on all four of my cameras. I see that I need to downgrade my omxplayer to before 03142016 to enable rtsp_over_tcp: true. How do I go about downgrading? I am on RPi 3 B+ Stretch 04192018.

My current omxplayer version is:
Build date: Wed, 05 Jul 2017 16:40:39 +0100
Version : 5a25a57 [debian]
Repository: [email protected]:XECDesign/omxplayer.git

"If you have a "smearing" effect this option may resolve it. Note that you need a version of omxplayer older then 14 March 2016 (popcornmix/omxplayer#433) to do this."

when using the latest raspbian on RPI 3 AND using WiFi,

it appears the rpisurv is starting before the pi has actually connected to the network by wifi

i have used raspi-config to say WAIT UNTIL NETWORK CONNECTED

but its having no affect?

When I go through the instructions and get to this part , this happens

sudo git clone [email protected]:SvenVD/rpisurv.git

Any idea of what I am doing wrong? New to Pi and Linux

I have rpisurv v1.0 installed and am trying to play the audio from one RTSP stream all of the time while keeping the other 3 windows just video feeds. Is there a way to route the audio from 1 RTSP stream to the HDMI?

not sure what I'm missing but when I try to start it I get this:

Is there a method of cycling through a number of grids of cameras. e.g. 2x2 grid every 5 seconds for 12 cameras total, then cycle back?

If not, what would be the best way to go about doing this?

So I got it installed and I only put in the url for one camera so far.

I get this error when trying to run it

First, thanks so much for your work on this. Everything about it seemed to work just as expected. I had no problem getting 3 cameras showing on my TV via Pi2 hdmi with rpisurv 👍 +1:

I ran upon an issue, and I'm unsure how diagnose it any further. I decided to add a 4th feed to my system, by using VLC RTSP server to stream the screen of a PC. The idea being that, I would then have my cameras plus an information stream flowing as a 4th source. The use of VLC to stream the screen via RTSP seems to work fine, I can access the stream from other clients, and even from my pi2 bu using the following command: sudo omxplayer --live -o hdmi rtsp://xx.xx.xx.xx:8554/scr.sdp
If I change one of my already tested and functioning stream sources to use this new one, it causes an error in surveillance.py

omxplayer --live --win "0 100 1824 642" rtsp://10.20.2.210/user=admin_password=_channel=0_stream=1.sdp
it works

When i put the same adres to rpirurv it wont start

Is there a possibility to add the option to "dial" into a specific stream fullscreen?

In other words, I want to have, for example, 4 camera feeds on my screen. If I hit "1", "Enter" - the first camera feed would become the only one on screen, and take up the entirety of the screen.
To get back to the quad view, I would dial "0", "Enter"

This would be a live saver, as this doesn't seem to be available in any other "basic" software of this sort.
Everything I've looked at so far is very feature bloated, and wouldn't work on a small system like the Pi or similar dev boards.

Thanks in advance!

trying to get this working with no luck keep getting the following. the feeds do work in vlc.

sorry if the photo is not clear enough I can type out the error

I'm struggling with an issue displaying 3 or more 1080p rtsp streams to an HDMI 1080p display.
A single RTSP works flawlessly and I've tested with "Automatic" display detection on an HDMI and DVI monitors discretely.
I've set gpu_mem=512 and I'm running an RPi 3 with updated raspbian pixel.

If I configure RPiSurv for 4 RTSP streams, I have to force HDMI to 1280x720p with:

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
# explicit 720P
hdmi_mode=85

Otherwise, if I comment these settings out and just run with automatic display detection, which is connected to a 1080P Asus display, the screen blanks after the first of the 4 streams is drawn and the monitor reports "power save mode"

I've tried the same on an older Dell via DVI and I get the same result.

UPDATE:
I've tested both with and without overscan disabled.
I am testing with 4 OpenEye cameras, set to H264 1920x1080 at 15fps as sources and nr_of_columns: "2"

Any ideas?

Thanks @SvenVD for the great work you have done for rpisurv 2.0

Other than in the documentation, the changes of configuration for the cams must be done in:
/usr/local/bin/rpisurv/conf/surveillance.yml
and not in:
/etc/rpisurv/surveillance/conf/surveillance.yml

I installed from a plan Rasbian and followed exactly all instructions.

Wondering how you would recommend safely updating existing instances of this. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Hi,

I've just tried installing rpisurv under the latest version of raspbian (2.1, sept 2017), both with and without GUI to no avail.

When I reboot the device I am at a prompt logged in as pi, drawn over top of the "Welcome to the Raspberry Pi Desktop" loading screen, with "systemd-user-sessions-service" displayed in the lower left corner.

I have set max GPU memory to 256 (max for rpi 3 B), and I have not added any tabs to /etc/rpisurv.

Hi!

First of all thanks for that great piece of software. I'm currently testing serveral setups for potential commercial use.

Yesterday I tried to connect Intellinet IP-Dome cameras - those come with RTSP support and quite good RTSP-configuration possibilities.
All cameras worked perfect on the first try through VLC.
But it seems like rpisurv couldn't validate the existance of a RTSP-Server.

I worked arround the issue by changing the code in surveillance.py - to evaluate the failed test for RTSP-validation to true.

#If we come to this point it means we have some data received, before we return True we need to check if are connected to an RTSP server if not rtsp_response: logger.error(self.hostname + " : " + str(self.port) +" Not Connectable (failed rtsp validation, no response from rtsp server)") return True

All streams connected immediately.

Of course I'm not very happy with that - I don't fully understand the code though (not a programmer).
Is there anything else I could do to fix that validation? Is it a configuration problem on server (camera) side?

First of all, just wanted to say thanks for coming up with this RPISURV, it's great!

I looked a little bit to try and see if this was even possible for a date and time display and wasn't successful but how difficult would this project be to add a date and time along the bottom?

I have two reasons for the date and time usage:

1. To be able to look up and see the date and time with seconds.
2. We have had the Pi freeze up about 10 times or so but we don't even realize it has frozen until our motion alert goes off on the screen. I setup the watchdog so I hope the freezing issue is fixed with the watchdog. As far as motion alert I just have our camera server send a ssh motion alert sound to the rpi on alert.

I'm unable to get streams to work. service crashing...

I found I wasn't able to start more than 2 streams with the default gpu_mem setting. Perhaps having some logic that warns with a suitable warning if you fail to spawn additional streams? I only thought this might be an issue after looking at the README file.

Hello,
Thanks for your efforts
I'm about to install this version on a fresh install RPi 3B+
I actually would like to project 7 camera streams. Is there a way to have 1 camera bigger than the rest and all the others around it (right and bottom)?

Like this one: https://www.google.com/search?q=camera+surveillance+monitor&client=firefox-b-ab&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit6d3ToIPdAhWOmbQKHTqOAT4Q_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=943#imgrc=fCBkln6gUWc2cM:

Many Thanks
Marnik

I have several cams which will not run over UDP and need TCP!
Why don't you change the installer and install the with TCP working version instead of
apt-get install omxplayer...

I got everything running tonight exept for my tcp-cams.

Thanks for rpisurv2.0
With more cams I can test the new features ;-)

basically i have a DVR with 16 cams and i want to show 9 cams first then after a timeout period show the next 7 and keep rotating this,i believe this is not possible

Hi,

I have an issue where every few minutes the screen will go back to the Raspberry Pi Terminal screen then load back up RPISurv with the connecting image then load back into the streams.
it does this every 5 mins or so.

Video of issue

Pi Zero - 256MB GPU

the placeholders and connecting images only seem to show up AFTER all the streams have started and are connecting

i think you should show all placeholders BEFORE starting to connect to each camera

Hi,

This is a really great application, really like it. I'm having an issue with displaying 6 cameras though and I wonder if it's just a limitation of the hardware?

Here is a video of what happens when configured for 3 columns and autosizing enabled.

For some reason it seems to be confused as to where to place the cameras. 5 works fine with the last image stretch, but as soon as a 6th is added this happens. When I add a 7th, the display cuts out completely when drawing the 3rd row. Very odd.

Using an RPi 3 with gpu_mem=512 connected to a 1920x1080 monitor (tested on 2 monitors just in case). Debug output showed 342MB of free memory with 6 cameras displayed.

Ideally, if the hardware allows for it I would like to get it working with more than 6 cameras eventually.

Thanks in advance.
