Hi all,

BI v5, all my cameras work in the following interfaces, these are all in "full screen / live view":
  1. BI web interface
  2. BI Mobile App
  3. BI Windows App
I have a home automation system, this uses a H264 interface to BI. When using this the "Live View" shows a static image that updates every 6-10 seconds. The setting on the home automation is set to update every 1 second.

I have tried almost every setting under the sun and does not change this. What makes me think its something in BI, I have Wyze cameras with the customer DFang and these work perfectly - they do not use the BI interface I use the stream directly to the camera.

What I did notice as well and would like some help with this as well. In both BI and the home automation system the Thumb Nails do not update its almost a snapshot of the image when I enter the interface. With the Wyze cameras this works perfectly.

The cameras I am using with BI for reference are the: Hikvision - DS-2CD2T45FWD-I8

Would really appreciate any advise here
 
I don't use any HA system but for those that do and that may be able to assist you, I think more info is needed:
  • What is the name of the HA you use?
  • What are the URL's of the streams from BI that you've tried? Something like:
    Code: 
    http://BI-server-LAN-IP:BI-Port/h264/{cam-short-name}/temp.h264
 
Thank you for the response.
To answer the questions you asked:
  1. Name of HA: Control4
  2. URL for the stream I use (IN BI for the camera is as follows) -
    1. FPS: 15
    2. URL in BI For the CAM: rstp://<IP_address>/unicast
    3. The URL in Control4 is : /h264/{cam-short-name}/temp.h264 - as you specify the ip , port, username and password in a different section (so that it build the URL as per above)
I can confirm the URL you gave me above works with VLC though
 
I understand that BI works except for the long, slow update, I'm curious. Why did you select the Unicast URL to stream from camera to BI?
Normally I would have expected instead something like:
Code: 
rtsp://Camera-IP:554/Streaming/Channels/101
 
Thank you again for the response. I used the unicast option as it was in one of the documentation documents for the rstp. I will try your url now. Thank you once again.
 
Works like a charm and thank you!
As a matter of interest would you know what the structure of the snapshot and mjpeg url would be?

I don't have a Hikvision cam or NVR but my Google Fu turned these up:
For JPG snapshot:
Code: 
 http://Camera-IP/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture
and
For MJPG stream path:
Code: 
http://Camera-IP/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/httppreview

If neither work, try YOUR Google Fu! :p
