I’m encountering difficulty configuring my 8MP IP camera to stream to my Raspberry Pi 4 B using an Ethernet connection. My ultimate goal is to display the video stream on my localhost using OpenCV in Python. The OpenCV stream itself is functional, so the issue seems to be in establishing the connection between the IP camera and the Raspberry Pi.
Here is my setup:
- Raspberry Pi 4 B running Raspbian OS.
- 8MP IP camera with RTSP stream available at rtsp://:/path.
- Direct connection between the IP camera and the Raspberry Pi using an Ethernet cable.
I’ve successfully set up OpenCV in Python to stream video from the IP camera when it’s on the same network as the Raspberry Pi. So, the Python script is functional.
Questions:
- What are the necessary steps to configure both the IP camera and the Raspberry Pi to communicate via Ethernet?
- Are there any specific settings or configurations I need to adjust on the IP camera to ensure it can stream over Ethernet to the Raspberry Pi?
- Could someone provide a detailed guide or example of configuring an IP camera to stream to a Raspberry Pi via Ethernet for use with OpenCV?
