[OBSOLETE] D-Link Camera Manager (Connect) [Requires Classic App]

I’m not entirely sure as I haven’t used smarttiles. You can try a website like https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=D-Link to find an alternate streaming path. SmartTiles streams directly from the camera, it doesn’t interact with my SmartApp at all.

@mcneillr There currently is no way to retrieve a motion event from the camera to trigger things in SmartThings using a SmartApp. The ‘Motion’ command simply turns on Motion Detection within the camera itself. This will allow it to automatically email/upload photos/video depending on your camera’s advanced settings.

I have removed the Dlink instance of the Camera and the this version and readied this one. Im seeing something odd when I re-add though. Now the PIR Off button isn’t displaying the icon and none of the buttons work. I get the following message in logging and nothing happens:

GET /image/jpeg.cgi HTTP/1.1
Accept: /
User-Agent: Linux UPnP/1.0 SmartThings
HOST: ip:port
Authorization: Basic =

567

Looks like the camera settings didn’t get saved properly, can you try opening the camera settings in the SmartApp and hitting ‘done’ to see if it saves then properly.

568

Same things is happening, none of the buttons are working as expected.

569

no errors are being shown in the live log? Are HOST and Authorization blank or did you just crop it out?

Need a little help here, I keep getting the error “Camera cannot be found. We are trying to connect”.

I have set my Camera IP address and each combination of Camera Port: HTTP (80), HTTPS (443), and RTSP (554).

Is there a difference between the Video IP address and Camera IP address?

My live video feed is at this address, how does that play into the setup? Here is that address: http://192.xxx.x.xx/video/mjpg.cgi

Any help would be appreciated.

571

It your camera has a RTSP feed then you’ll use the HTTP port for the camera port and the RTSP port for the video port.

Ben, thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either.

I have no problem managing the camera through the camera’s web interface, but I can’t connect it through SmartThings.

Video integration into ST has been my Mt. Everest.

Thanks again.

Ben,

Quick question. I had some issues with one of my cameras. Turned out I had to get it replaced. I would like to start from scratch installing your app and getting things setup.

How can i delete everything from my IDE? I really didn’t think it would be this difficult.

Thanks,

Bryan

You shouldn’t need to delete the SmartApp or devicetypes. Just make sure you are all up to date and you should be fine.

575

Which camera are you using?

576

I have two DCS-5030L’s. I’m using the 5029L profile in your app.

Camera IP Address = Local IP for one cam
Camera Port = 80
Video IP Address = Tried both Local IP and External IP
Video Port = 554 (port is forwarded)

I receive the comment saying “There was a problem retrieving the livestream” after tapping play.

That’s why I figured i’d start over with a clean install.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Bryan

577

It could be due to the fact that your camera uses a slightly different stream URL.

Could you true using VLC to play a stream with the following address:

rtsp://username:password@IP:videoport/live1.sdp

578

I have a DCS-5222l and installed this following the instructions. The video works great but the app will not move the camera. It did it once and then that was it. None of the buttons work except the video capability. I can move it fine using the D-Link app but not via smartthings using this app. Any suggestions?

579

Receiving the error Connection Failed “VLC could not connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” and Your Input Could Not Be Opened "VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘rtsp://url that you asked me to try’.

Gotcha, that tells me it uses a different streaming path. Is there anywhere in the cameras advanced settings that lists different video/photo ‘profiles’?

581

Could you open up the live log in the web IDE and then try it again. They post what the log says (after removing any password or authorization code)

582

Under ‘Setup’, ‘Video’, there’s a header labeled Video Profile. There it shows two Encode Types. H.264 and MJPEG, where for those two types I can select Resolution, Bit Rate/JPEG Quality(respectively) and Frame Rate.

That’s the only location I see anything related to profiles.

Thanks,

Bryan

Looks like the pictures is now working, but video is still not and the icon for PIR is not showing up. Not sure if it has something to do with eh latest app update for IOS or not.

584

Could you post a picture of that page?
