new Axis cameras connection problem

[craver84]

Hi guys,
I'm got a problem with RTSP (RTP/RTSP/HTTP) connection to an Axis M3014 (firmware 5.40.9.3 just updated)

I read that with new 5.x firmwares the path to use is: /axis-media/media.amp
I tried it, but the connection is not stable, it crashes and live view doesn't work

With older cams,I have for example an AXIS 209FD with firmware version 4.47.1
the connection with the path /mpeg4/media.amp works pefectly.

although RTSP doesn't work for me, I can connect to M3014 using mjpeg
/mjpg/1/video.mjpg?resolution=800x600&fps=10
but I saw in nethogs that this connection uses 450kb/s for a 800x600 image.
AXIS 209FD streaming with h264, 800x600 use about 120kb brandwidth.

is anyone else facing this problem with new axis cameras?
thanks Paolo

The ffmpeg & libvlc source types have better RTSP support than the Remote source type.
Try those.

hi knnniggett
I tried this settings

path = rtsp://root:pass@10.0.1.101:554/axis-media/media.amp?videocodec=h264&streamprofile=Balanced

I notice that with
streamprofile=Quality -> max 4 frames/sec
streamprofile=Balanced -> 15 frames/sec but delay of 1-2 seconds


it works but I prefer mjpg, it look much more real in "live view" mode

despite that, thank you Knnniggett!

I have this issue as well!

RTSP works find with 225FD but a newer Axis camera just freezes when I use RTSP.

Did you change your source type from "Remote" to "ffmpeg" or "libvlc" like I suggested in the previous post?
