Hello Friends,

I have a question concerning the configuration of Herosspeed Cameras in Monole an Alex.
Since a few years I’m running an 16 Port herospeed NVR wit 8 POE IP 2 MP Full HD cameras connected.
The hardware was distributed ba DVS Germany.

The RTSP-Stream for each camera can be accessed at the NVR with the syntax rtsp://[UID]:[PW]@[DYNDNS-adress].ddns.net:554/[Port]/

I have no chance to configure the rtsp Stream with included UID and PW at the monocle-portal.

There is als noc chance to change the the rtsp URL in the Software of the NVR.
I also have no chance to get an FW update vrom DVS oder an updated version from herospeed.

I installed the Monocle Skill in my Alexa.

When configuring the rtsp stream with basic or digest authentication, Alexa says “camera does not respond”.

I also tried all comibinations tagging the cameras i.e. with @tunnel and started a configured monocle gatewayservice on my windows PC, but nothing helped.

Has somebody an idea for me, how to configrure the rtsp-streams of my Herospeed NVR? at the moncocel Portal ???

Thanks for your help or Idea in advance

So I figured it out thanks to this troubleshooting guide on DNS Rebinding. No idea what that is, but that was the problem!

On my router, which is an Asus RT-AC68R/U and uses the Advanced Tomato firmware, I had to add this to the Advanced Settings->DHCP/DNS Server (LAN)->Dnsmasq custom configuration field:

where the FQDN value was found in the monocle console window.

I couldn’t figure out how to add a wilcard *.mproxy.io. If anyone knows how to do that, that would be appreciated!

@warezmonster Anyone?

I have this exact same problem. Digest is not working. Would appreciate you guys having a look at this. I can include logging. The Axis Camera station is far less secure if we have to revert to basic authentication to make it work. Any chance for some help with this?

I have now got the Monocle gateway running successfully on a Raspberry Pi3.
Following the guide was straight forward although the .tar file didn’t work I just used the dpkg install instead and that worked first time.
Next step…
Add the Monocle app to the TV Firestick.
Thanks again to the team.

I can check the dlink RTSP work on VLS
rtsp://IPADDRESS:554/live1.sdp

but on Alexa, it does not.
what I am missing?

I have tried with/without tag

@tunnel
@proxy

Hello, I have Foscam G4P and C2 in use with the Monocle Gateway 0.0.4 in a Debian container under Proxmox. The display is an Echo Show 5 and Show 8, which works fine (except for the delay when the stream starts).
After a firmware update of the G4P to a version greater than 2.39 (currently 2.53), the streams of the G4Ps no longer work. However, the streams can be watched with VLC. Downgrade the firmware and it works again. However, I would like to use the current firmware. What can I do? What data do you need from me for help?

Best regards

Hi Robert … mystery of the password solved.
In fact the password was blank (null).
Why onvif said it was ‘tlJwpbo6’ I have no idea or why it worked with that.
I reset password to ‘admin’ and used that and all is well (without the gateway and without the audio)

Kindest Regards
Graham

Trying again now using Home Assistant Proxy.

Works fine with VLC

Proxy stream is:

rtsp://192.168.244.172:5554/walkway

172 is HA box.

Hopefully this way the stream is faster.

No luck yet.
