Eaton/Scantronic CAM-EXT-00 External IP Camera

[Halsteads]

Hi, trying to configure homebridge-camera-ui for Eaton/Scantronic CAM-EXT-00 External IP Camera

It's easy to see the camera feed VLC, IP CAM, IP motion, and various browsers.

Its url is rtsp://192.168.1.200:554/

The manual is pretty basic:

System
Privacy Mask: Yes, 3 different areas
Compression Format: H.264/ M-JPEG
Video Bitrates Adjust: CBR, CVBR
Pre Alarm: 5 images
Post Alarm: 10 images
Security: Password protection, IP address filtering, HTTPS encrypted data transmission, 802.1X port-based authentication for network protection, QoS/DSCP
Firmware Upgrade: HTTP mode, can be upgraded remotely
Simultaneous Connection: Up to 10
Web Browsing Requirement OS: Windows 7, 2000, XP, 2003, Microsoft IE 6.0 or above, Chrome, Safari, Firefox. Mobile Support: iOS 4.3 or above, Android 1.6 or above.

Can anyone help me create a camera configuration for camera-ui?

many thanks,

PS I've drawn a blank with the iSpy database.

I've managed to get the basics as follows:

"cameras": [
{
"name": "MizCam01",
"motionTimeout": 15,
"prebuffering": null,
"videoConfig": {
"source": "-i rtsp://192.168.1.200:554/",
"stillImageSource": "-i rtsp://192.168.1.200:554/",
"stimeout": 10,
"audio": null,
"debug": null,
"subSource": "-i rtsp://192.168.1.200:554/",
"rtspTransport": "udp",
"vcodec": "mjpeg",
"acodec": null,
"maxStreams": 1,
"maxWidth": 1280,
"maxHeight": 720,
"maxFPS": 20,
"maxBitrate": 6000

Camera display is good in other players, and looks fine in browser for camera-ui, but HomeKit is having problems. Sometimes shows a still image but then times out and says 'camera is not responding'.

I've experimented with bitrate, but not sure what else to try.

Screenshot from browser displaying UI dashboard:

Screenshot from HomeKit:
Note: timer in red circle counts to ten and cycles back to zero. OSD timecode is stalled, only updates every 10s or so.

camera settings suggest port 443 although stream info pop up in IP Cams app shows 554.

Could this be affecting HomeKit's ability to carry the stream?
