Annke's Crater Pro w/ BI
I was wondering if anyone got Annke's Crater Pro camera working. I do find/detect, it picks it up...and then drops it. I suspect it has something to do with the Main stream's web address. Any thoughts?
Re: Annke's Crater Pro w/ BI
I didn't know you could buy a new 4MP Annke PT (Not Z) camera for less than £30. That just might be a step up from Pogo's Tapo cams.
If you already have an image in BI5 you are 95% there as it is clearly an IP cam and you already know the IP address and ports etc.
Now the advert boasts of H264+. Are you aware that any plus on top of a specification may make it better for their NVR, but is likely to make it less compatible with the H264 standard, and hence BI5 ? Have a look in the actual camera web page menu, and see if you can make it output plain H264. The specifications sheet doesn't give any clues about ONVIF or RTSP, but really, you are already past that point.
