Lightweight, zero-dependency proxy and storage RTSP server

python-rtsp-server

Python-rtsp-server is a lightweight, zero-dependency proxy and storage server for several IP-cameras and multiple clients.

Features:

• Reliable connection of clients in the local network. One connection to each camera, regardless of the number of clients.
• Minimum client connection latency.
• Low CPU load.
• Proxying streams from IP cameras to an unlimited number of clients in the local network, the ability to limit the number of web clients.
• Ability to save to hard disk, with fragmentation and daily rotation.
• Restoring of connection with cameras and recording to disk after a possible disconnection of cameras.

Requirements:

Python 3.7+ is required. Optionally uses system-wide utilities for saving streams to file storage, such as ffmpeg, OpenRTSP or mencoder.

Compatible with Linux. Supports H.264, H.265 and H.265+ codecs.

Tested with Hikvision DS-2CD2023 and Rubetek RV-3414 IP-cameras, using VLC as a client. There is a special mobile app for this server on GitHub.

Installation:

Copy config-example.py to private configuration file _config.py and edit _config.py.

Start the server:

python3 main.py

Basic usage

UDP mode:

vlc rtsp://localhost:4554/camera-hash

TCP mode:

vlc --rtsp-tcp rtsp://localhost:4554/camera-hash

Start on boot with systemd

Create the service unit /etc/systemd/system/python-rtsp-server.service:

[Unit]
Description="video monitoring"

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path-to-python-rtsp-server/main.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable and start the service:

sudo systemctl enable python-rtsp-server
sudo systemctl start python-rtsp-server

MPV (ffmpeg) не воспроизводит rtsp поток

VLC воспроизводит, MPV (и, соответственно, ffmpeg) - нет. Пишет CSeq 3 expected, 0 received.

Дебаг со стороны сервера выглядит так:

~~~ Client: read
SETUP rtsp://127.0.0.1:4554/Серверная/track1 RTSP/1.0
Transport: RTP/AVP/TCP;unicast;interleaved=0-1
CSeq: 3
User-Agent: libmpv


~~~ Client: write
RTSP/1.0 200 OK
CSeq: 3
Transport: RTP/AVP/TCP;unicast;interleaved=0-1
Session: z37o9h5cf;timeout=60


Client: connection closed: 127.0.0.1:40300

Если MPV напрямую к камере подключить, то все ок.

Проблема с настройкой файла конфигурации

Не могу разобраться как подключить камеры по rtsp ссылкам в файле конфигурации. Не могли бы вы более подробней описать этот момент?

Access is denied.

When I start main.py file it says:

*** Client: start listening 0.0.0.0:44141 ***

Access is denied.

IP хоста

python-rtsp-server/client.py

Line 27 in ced9c68

host = '0.0.0.0'

Вот тут жестко забито 0.0.0.0, хотелось бы менять адрес, где слушать, в конфиге. Я кстати думал, что это local_ip в конфиге, в общем немного путано в этом плане на мой взгляд.

Client: error: can't handle request from 192.168.0.109: invalid camera hash

Hi,
when I run python main.py, and then vlc rtsp://192.168.0.105:4554/camera-has, I see the following error:
Client: error: can't handle request from 192.168.0.109: invalid camera hash

by the way,
I installed a usb cam to ARM board, and then I would like to use your code to read the cam without decoding and send the data as rtsp. I changed the cameras in config.py file as follows:

    cameras = {
        'some-URL-compatible-string/including-UTF-characters': {
            'path': '.',
            'url': 'rtsp://192.168.0.105:4554/<uri>',
            # 'storage_command': 'any *nix command for saving rtsp stream to a file',
        },
    }

Connection Close after 60 Seconds!

Поток от Axis

Приветствую. Не могу проиграть VLC поток от сервера. Поток от камеры отдается по вот такому адресу rtsp://login:[email protected]:554/axis-media/media.amp

В storage пишется, отдельно поток VLC воспроизводит, а вот через сервер вида rtsp://ip:4554/hash выдает ошибку
Client: error: can't handle request from 192.168.1.176: Invalid track ID in reply

С хиквижн работало, с аксисом не хотит :( Куда копать?
