RTSP Video Capture

Requirements

• Python >= 3
• Open CV pip install opencv-python

  Opensource library that allows the manipulation of visual resources that we will use to access the camera's video.

• Dot Env pip install python-dotenv

  Allows the definition of environment variables using an .env file. Use this file to store variables that will contain username, password and IP of the camera to be accessed.

Usage

Clone this repository

Make a copy of the repository to run the program that will allow you to access the camera.

Create .env file

Create a .env file at the root of the directory containing the following environment variables with the values ​​corresponding to the camera you want to access.

RTSP_USERNAME=your_username
RTSP_PASSWORD=your_password
RTSP_IP=your_camera_ip
RTSP_PORT=your_camera_port

Yoosee example:

RTSP_USERNAME=admin
RTSP_PASSWORD=Set the password in the App: More Settings > NVR Connection
RTSP_IP=Get the IP from the device information in the App
RTSP_PORT=554
