By default these cameras do not have RTSP functionality. These means that only the official Apps for the camera can be used to view the feeds. However by using a non official firmware on the camera’s RTSP functionality is available. Whilst ST doesn’t provide options to view Camera feeds, as noted above by @nxsfan, @pstuart created a Device Type and Smart App that enable RTSP video feeds to be viewable in ST. The thread for this is here [RELEASE] Generic Video Camera DeviceType, Yes, Live Video Streaming
The link to the modified firmware was given by @Navat604 above (http://xiaoyi.querex.be/firmwares/)
Please be aware of three things with this camera:-
-
There is an International Version and a Chinese version. They operate differently. Here is a link to help identity which version you have.
-
If you modify the firmware from the above site or other location, unless you take apart the code you really dont know if anyone has put something unsavoury in there. We have all heard the stories of camera feeds available on the web.
-
The last time I checked there was no option to secure your camera feed in terms of a Username and Password. For me this was the deal breaker and as such I don’t use the RTSP feature any more.
Also if you encounter the issue of your camera can not be used outside of China (for those not on the international version) this link may help overcome the issue https://diy.2pmc.net/solved-xiaomi-xiao-yi-ant-home-camera-can-used-china/
Hope the above is of some help.
