I know this could be the 100th question of this kind, but I dug up google and everything, and I could not find anything working.
I need to get an RTSP stream with opencv in python, and I'm out of ideas.
Here's what I tried so far:
Tried to stream with ffserver and ffmpeg but even when I got it working, I could see the stream only in the browser with very high latency, and not working in opencv
Tried to stream directly to udp with ffmpeg but again, no luck
Tried this script, but all I got was corrupted and unusable images.
Any ideas? I'm running on Mac OSX Sierra, I have compiled OpenCV 3.2.0 with ffmpeg support and I'm using Python 2.7.
My cam is a Sricam SP09 and my RTSP url is the following:
rtsp://973704:888888@192.168.1.78:554/onvif1
解决方案
I had the same problem.
You might be able to solve it with some additional codes.
import os
os.environ["OPENCV_FFMPEG_CAPTURE_OPTIONS"] = "rtsp_transport;udp"
vcap = cv2.VideoCapture("rtsp://[IP_CAM_ADDRESS]", cv2.CAP_FFMPEG)
Hope to be helpful to somebody.
