Detection using IP Camera

General
1

Hello community,

I am using TAPPAS.

I connected an IP camera to my device, how do I perform detection on the live video footage of my camera?

According to the pipeline Step 1, I need to specify the location of the video being used, how do I find the location ? My camera is connected to my motherboard through ethernet interface.

Hey @zihao.wong

To access your Ethernet-connected IP camera’s video stream, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Camera’s IP Address

    • Check the camera’s web interface
    • Use the manufacturer’s software
    • Look at your router’s list of connected devices

  2. Configure the GStreamer Pipeline

    • Use the camera’s IP address in your pipeline

    • For RTSP streams, use this format:

      filesrc location=rtsp://<camera_ip_address>:<port>/path/to/stream ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1

    This setup decodes, converts, and scales the video for your TAPPAS pipeline.

  3. Optimize Camera Settings

    • Adjust video configuration as needed
    • Consider settings like bitrates and GOP length
    • Refer to your camera’s documentation for specifics

After completing these steps, proceed with the detection process outlined in the TAPPAS user guide.
