![]() ![]() I'm hoping the experts can set me straight here, as I'm new to RTSP. Is this a hint that RTSP is NOT supported on my Foscam R4S? That seems pretty strange. One extra bit of confusion is that the Foscam documentation shows an RTSP port in the Onvif configuration page, yet when I visit the configuration of my camera, it is NOT there. ![]() For me, I always get "connection refused" when using port 554, and with port 88, I still have no luck. ![]() I found a youtube video showing someone connecting to the R4S from BlueIris successfully, and I see someone had success above. I have tried every combination of rtsp url that I can find or dream up (with or without username/password, using port 554 or 88, using "/videoMain", "/VideoMain", "/videoSub") to no avail. I am able to configure it from both the ios app and the web browser interface. I just bought a Foscam R4S, and I cannot connect to it via RTSP. So we all just get to live with the fact that configuring an IP cam in Blue Iris is a lot more complicated and fiddly than it should be. The biggest problem is, every one of those options was added for a reason, and if they go away, it will break someone's configuration. The audio stream doesn't typically require its own Path, or for you to specify the format. Several of the "Network options" checkboxes do not apply to certain cameras. "Model" could also have hidden meanings internally, like some cameras use a non-standard streaming protocol which Blue Iris took the time to figure out and implement just for that one particular brand. The "Model" you chose may decide which protocol is used, yet you can have a different protocol selected in the dropdown box in the upper left. The "Path" can also go in the address bar. The port number can go in the address bar, or in the RTSP port box, or in the ONVIF port box, and I really have no idea what decides which of those port numbers to use. There are many valid ways to configure a camera, and a lot of the options are simply ignored a lot of the time (like the "Params" and "Camera" fields below "Path"). That is the problem with Blue Iris's camera configuration. Is anyone familiar with this camera or does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong? I just get a gray screen that says no signal and HTTP: 12029 Cannot Connect. So far I've gotten nothing from this camera. I left everything else as it was, either blank or default. I have the camera Make set as Foscam and the Model C1/C2/R2/R4/. I have the username and password setup correctly. ![]() So far, this morning, I've added a new camera to Blue Iris, I've entered my camera's IP address, which I confirmed with my router's network map. I can't seem to find any information at all on the R4S on the site, and Blue Iris won't pickup an image from it at all. Fast forward to now, I'm having my garage floor epoxied in two weeks and I want to get this camera setup and recording with Blue Iris before then, but I don't recall anything that I've done, or where the software that came with the camera is or pretty much anything else. Then we got busy with the holidays, then a trip to Shenzhen to visit our grandson, then a quick trip back home for two weeks of quarantine after having to cancel over half of our trip. I remember tinkering with it the first day or two I got it several months ago, and having a video feed, but I can't recall if that was from their software or from Blue Iris. I read a lot of negative on here about Foscam cameras in general, but I got a really good deal on this one and I wanted to put a cheap camera in my garage and, basically, I wanted another camera on my Blue Iris setup to play around with and I wasn't quite ready to purchase and install all the more expensive outdoor cameras I'm looking at. I'm not certain if this Foscam forum or the Blue Iris forum is the best place to start for help, so I'm going to start here.īack before Christmas I purchased a Foscam R4S camera on sale. ![]()
