  FireTV 4K Stick (3rd Generation) [2018] The Monocle skill can be used to display local IP camera feeds to your FireTV 4K Stick (Generation 1) however, only when running the Monocle Gateway service locally on your network. FireTV 4K (3rd Generation) The Monocle Gateway service is required because the latest Amazon Alexa enabled device implement further restrictions and only permit RTSP connections from these devices to camera endpoints over encrypted (TLS) transport layer and only permitted to connect on port 443 using fully qualified domain names with valid a SSL certificate. These rigid requirements make it near impossible for most IP cameras to work directly with Alexa devices and thus the Monocle Gateway service acts as a bridge by fulfilling these requirements and enabling communications with your local IP cameras.

  @Nyutu That is odd. I would suggest contacting Amazon Alexa support. There is nothing on our side we can really do to troubleshoot multiple camera skills and why Alexa would have problems … as long as the device names are different across the multiple camera skills (which in your case they are “Front Door” (Ring) and “Nursery” (Monocle) ). The Monocle skill is a “smart home skill” and thus all of the voice commands are entirely managed by Amazon. So it’s not like we are getting the request and can’t figure out which camera to provide. We only receive request from Amazon with the targeted camera that Alexa has pre-determined. Thanks, Robert

  I’ve got Amcrest IP2M-842EW which is being shared from a Synology Surveillance station, and Fire Stick (non4k). I’ve tried using the gateway running on OS X and i get the camera to connect for one frame, then it goes to buffering. have also tried direct connect using the Amcrest IP/RTSP URL. Always getting Buffering after one frame.
