ReStream RTSP Video Issues

Good morning,

We have several IP cameras setup on our server that we restream. We went to add a new one today, a Foscam FI9805W, that has an RTSP stream and it isn’t showing any picture when we view the stream. We have verified the URL we are using using VLC and it displays perfectly fine there when pointed at the cam but we cannot view the video from our server.

VLC URL: rtsp://Guest:Guest@dn2960.myfoscam.org:8091/videoMain

On our site: http://www.marestare.com/ipcam.php?alias=rff

I have checked the error log for the server and the only things appear.

Also I implemented the fix for problematic SDP files but it still didn’t fix the issue. Article here. https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming#sdp

rtpIgnoreProfileLevelId

true

Boolean

Since one of our other Foscams is this same model and is working fine I am not really sure what to do at this point. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Frank,

The Timecode out of order [video] error suggests a problem with the source. It’s an indication that the incoming stream is not stable. Typically, this is a network or encoder issue. You may want to reduce the bit rate and profile of the source video in an effort to consume less bandwidth and processing on the camera/device.
