Use RTSP as a source

Trying to run the my detection script using rtsp as a source. Keep getting the Exception: jetson.utils – failed to create gstCamera device error.

Hi @vondalej, you should update your script to use the videoSource class if you want to use RTSP:

You can launch detectNet program from RTSP source like so:

detectnet rtsp://<remote-ip>:1234

so replace the camera with video-viewer rtsp://username:password@:1234?

Hi,
Valid URI should look like

rtsp://username:password@192.168.30.142:1234

You may confirm the URI is correct by running a gst-launch-1.0 command:

gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri='rtsp://username:password@192.168.30.142:1234' ! nvoverlaysink
