Hello. Newbie here 8 hours deep into trying to solve this problem. Attempting to get a video feed displayed in a wall mounted tablet in a browser.
I have an EmpireTech (Dahua) IPC-HDW2231R-ZS 2MP Starlight. I have the camera setup recording to a QNAP NAS, no problem. Using RTSP port (ONVIF still goes over the RTSP port of 554, yes?).
I am attempting to display the feed in an iframe in a browser, a kindle tablet I have mounted to the wall with my home automation (hubitat, for now) dashboard. I've given up on trying to get an MPEG stream directly from the camera over HTTP, and wanted to avoid running a VM to transcode it, so I deicded I would just go with a snapshot and refresh every 1 second. Meets my needs to see who is in the driveway.
BUT.. most browsers do not let you embed username/password. Chrome does not, nor does the Fully browser on the tablet seem to work.
So I can load the following URL in the address bar and it works.... but cannot embed in Iframe/tile.
http://<ADMIN>:<PASSWORD>@172.16.0.51/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
So I figured I would just make it all anonymous. I limit access to the camera, it's only internal, so why not? But no matter what I do... THIS url always prompts for credentials. I have disabled ONVIF authentication, set anonymous login, tried a million different URLs.
Any suggestions?
