Just as aside, home assistant, the platform I use for my home automation is able to pull in rtsp streams from my cameras and display them on my dashboard, which is nothing more than a webpage.

Yes, the bulk of the work will be in adding support for RTSP and then streaming over HTTP to the Video Player Component.

lol, indeed! It’s worth mentioning again that [there is a module available](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-image-streamer-driver-module/29371) right now that can meet this need before there is core product support.

If you are in an environment where disabling the “Use secure session keys and login page” option at top right in Blue Iris Web server Advanced configuration is acceptable,

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/1/41b29dbc73c40e4b82e467da43b114751887d675.png)  
MJPEG streams work with an URL like this:

```http
http://BlueIrisServerIP:81/mjpg/shortCameraName/video.mjpg?user=username&pw=password

```

Substitute your server IP, short camera name, and–if used–username and password.

Would the improved video player allow re-enabling secure sessions keys and login page?

We haven’t started a design for the effort yet, but details like that will certainly be taken into consideration so we can have a clean/simple user experience.

**openCV** ([https://opencv.org](https://opencv.org)) or **gstreamer** ([https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org)) will certainly be able to do the job in the gateway scope, for converting rtsp stream to http.  
The module will have to use JNA and java bindings for those library.

That's what my module does, using the jars OpenCV publishes. It's a bit tricky due to license limitations.

Hi, Does this work on Ignition Perspective Inline Frame Component or the video Player Component?

Thank you

The feature request to add RTSP still needs to be worked, but I will bump the ticket again. It’s priority has been bumped several times.

It would be great if the video player could support HLS stream format, or webRTC

That would be really cool.

I would say build your own module, but I tried to build a perspective component module, but gave up as the docs are not quite there yet and I am not an expert module dev by any means. I know it is not, and shouldn’t be a priority for IA, to make module development easier, but in some of these cases I wish there was a _Perspective Component Module For Dummies_ guide for how to import a js library and render a component with a div that uses the js library.

Sure but right now I am focus on terminate a module for vision 8.1 for a video component supporting rtsp h264, h265 stream with PTZ control for onvif camera…  
Its an upgrade of an existing module supporting rtsp h264 low, main profile and onvif ptz.  
Modules for perspective need a new long learning curve…perhaps later…

~~@pturmel, is this still at the bottom?~~ Just saw you updated in your [post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-image-streamer-driver-module/29371) RE the module 🙂 We're looking at displaying a "wall" of RTSP streams from 200 cameras on a number of TVs mounted on a wall.

Or @jball?

Have a look at the french ICC21 international schedule : Bouygues Energies & Services. I have a demo of a New video module for vision and perspective for rtsp video stream 😉
