How to run H265 RTSP IP camera in deepstream_app

Greetings,

Below i have mentioned details of camera that I am using,

  • HikVision Camera
  • H.265+ encodings
  • model: DS-2CD202WF-I

When I play the url in VSPlayer I am able to view the stream.

If I run this command

gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin rtsp://<admin>:<password>@192.168.0.175:554/Stream/Channels/101 ! nvoverlaysink

I get

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Progress: (open) Opening Stream

I tried https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1058086/deepstream-sdk/how-to-run-rtp-camera-in-deepstream-on-nano/post/5369243/#5369243 as suggested by DaneLLL but I get a blank screen.

I have also tried https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1058086/deepstream-sdk/how-to-run-rtp-camera-in-deepstream-on-nano/post/5367474/#5367474

and I get the blankscreen again

Thank you.

Hi,
Please check if you can run

$ export RTSP_PATH=rtsp://admin:int123$%^@192.168.0.175:554/Stream/Channels/101
$ gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="$RTSP_PATH" ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! omxh265dec ! nvoverlaysink
$ gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="$RTSP_PATH" ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvoverlaysink

Let’s firstly confirm the URI is valid.

Hello @DaneLLL,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I applied your method in my Jetson nano and the stream is unavailable. So this means my uri is wrong?

I checked these uri in VLC and I get good results,

  • rtsp://:@192.168.0.175:554/Stream/Channels/101
  • rtsp://:@192.168.0.175:554/live2.sdp

I also tried


<ol>
<li>./test-mp4 /home/botjet/PD_Wrk/deepstream_sdk_v4.0.1_jetson/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h265.mp4
stream ready at rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test</li>
<li>export RTSP_PATH=rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/test</li>
<li>gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="$RTSP_PATH" ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! nvv4l2decoder ! nvoverlaysink</li>
</ol>

and this too gave error

I will look into my uri and then get back

Thank you.

My mistake,

I have set the camera to H.264 hence it currently works with

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="$RTSP_PATH" ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvoverlaysink

Thank you DaneLLL for setting me in the right path.

gst-launch-1.0 rtspsrc location="$RTSP_PATH" ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! omxh264dec ! nvoverlaysink

But I tried it in deepstream app and there is some problem while output since the video gives some pixel error in video (looks like the output from different bin is played together, since I saw same action performed by us repeats like 3 times when we move)

by error in video i meant: If I move my hand to one direction the output window shows I moved it three times in that directon with pixel errors. So is this usual case when you shift from web cam to rtsp or do we have solution?

Thank You

Hi,
You may attach config file for reference. Would be great if you can also share brand and model ID of the IP camera.

@DaneLLL

I got the same result as @akshaypd156 when using the omxh264dec (which I presume is going to be depreciated). I tried the nvv4ldecoder and got the following error messages ( GStreamer- CRITICAL **: 12:06:27.523: gst_mini_object_unref: assertion ‘mini_object != NULL’ failed) :

Hi james1122,

Please help to open a new topic for your issue. Thanks

Hello,

In vlc, you can check the video at the following address.
rtsp://root:root@10.10.221.37:554/cam0_2

But when I run it with gst-launch, I can’t check the video.
Can you tell me what the problem is by looking at the following log?
