ESP32 CAM module with Tasmota

[trueslator]

Hi there,
I’m trying to get a tasmota flashed ESP32 Cam to work with monocle and Echo Show 8 but the error massage “cam is not responding” comes across.

The URL for the stream is http://192.168.1.xxx:81/stream but I’m not sure if this URL/Stream is supported. I want to build my own door bell similar to door bird.

The Tasmota menue is available via the webbrowser and also the stream can be viewed via the webbrowser.

The stream is in the format MJPEG and can be opend via VLC and ISPY.

Those modules are very cheap and with the in-and output pins, several projects can be created.

Any idea?

by the way - Echo show 8 is able to play the stream via Firefox. But this is not a good solution :-(

OK, I noticed already that the MJPEG stream is not supported :-( what a pity.Would be a nice solution with the EPS32 Cam board. Maybe at some point in the future.

@trueslator

Amazon only supports RTSP (and HLS) camera streaming protocols at this time.

This is the first time I’m seeing HLS support … I’ll have to have a look into that :-)

Thanks, Robert

@Monocle - Any news regarding HLS support? - Did you have the chance to look into that?
