I am using AI Thinker ESP32-CAM with stream url http://192.168.8.100:81/stream.
I have tried this and other techniques but nothing worked for me
import numpy as np
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("rtsp://192.168.8.100:81/stream")
while(True):
ret, frame = cap.read()
cv2.imshow('frame',frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
I've tried http as well instead of rstp but no results at all
I have used this arduino code
#include <esp32cam.h>
#include <WebServer.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
const char* WIFI_SSID = "ZONG MBB-E5573-AE26";
const char* WIFI_PASS = "58688303";
WebServer server(80);
static auto loRes = esp32cam::Resolution::find(320, 240);
static auto hiRes = esp32cam::Resolution::find(800, 600);
void handleBmp()
{
if (!esp32cam::Camera.changeResolution(loRes)) {
Serial.println("SET-LO-RES FAIL");
}
auto frame = esp32cam::capture();
if (frame == nullptr) {
Serial.println("CAPTURE FAIL");
server.send(503, "", "");
return;
}
Serial.printf("CAPTURE OK %dx%d %db\n", frame->getWidth(), frame->getHeight(),
static_cast<int>(frame->size()));
if (!frame->toBmp()) {
Serial.println("CONVERT FAIL");
server.send(503, "", "");
return;
}
Serial.printf("CONVERT OK %dx%d %db\n", frame->getWidth(), frame->getHeight(),
static_cast<int>(frame->size()));
server.setContentLength(frame->size());
server.send(200, "image/bmp");
WiFiClient client = server.client();
frame->writeTo(client);
}
void serveJpg()
{
auto frame = esp32cam::capture();
if (frame == nullptr) {
Serial.println("CAPTURE FAIL");
server.send(503, "", "");
return;
}
Serial.printf("CAPTURE OK %dx%d %db\n", frame->getWidth(), frame->getHeight(),
static_cast<int>(frame->size()));
server.setContentLength(frame->size());
server.send(200, "image/jpeg");
WiFiClient client = server.client();
frame->writeTo(client);
}
void handleJpgLo()
{
if (!esp32cam::Camera.changeResolution(loRes)) {
Serial.println("SET-LO-RES FAIL");
}
serveJpg();
}
void handleJpgHi()
{
if (!esp32cam::Camera.changeResolution(hiRes)) {
Serial.println("SET-HI-RES FAIL");
}
serveJpg();
}
void handleJpg()
{
server.sendHeader("Location", "/cam-hi.jpg");
server.send(302, "", "");
}
void handleMjpeg()
{
if (!esp32cam::Camera.changeResolution(hiRes)) {
Serial.println("SET-HI-RES FAIL");
}
Serial.println("STREAM BEGIN");
WiFiClient client = server.client();
auto startTime = millis();
int res = esp32cam::Camera.streamMjpeg(client);
if (res <= 0) {
Serial.printf("STREAM ERROR %d\n", res);
return;
}
auto duration = millis() - startTime;
Serial.printf("STREAM END %dfrm %0.2ffps\n", res, 1000.0 * res / duration);
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
{
using namespace esp32cam;
Config cfg;
cfg.setPins(pins::AiThinker);
cfg.setResolution(hiRes);
cfg.setBufferCount(2);
cfg.setJpeg(80);
bool ok = Camera.begin(cfg);
Serial.println(ok ? "CAMERA OK" : "CAMERA FAIL");
}
WiFi.persistent(false);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASS);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
}
Serial.print("http://");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
Serial.println(" /cam.bmp");
Serial.println(" /cam-lo.jpg");
Serial.println(" /cam-hi.jpg");
Serial.println(" /cam.mjpeg");
server.on("/cam.bmp", handleBmp);
server.on("/cam-lo.jpg", handleJpgLo);
server.on("/cam-hi.jpg", handleJpgHi);
server.on("/cam.jpg", handleJpg);
server.on("/cam.mjpeg", handleMjpeg);
server.begin();
}
void loop()
{
server.handleClient();
}
And OpenCV code
import urllib
import cv2
import numpy as np
url='http://192.168.8.100/cam-hi.jpg'
while True:
imgResp=urllib.request.urlopen(url)
imgNp=np.array(bytearray(imgResp.read()),dtype=np.uint8)
img=cv2.imdecode(imgNp,-1)
# all the opencv processing is done here
cv2.imshow('test',img)
if ord('q')==cv2.waitKey(10):
exit(0)
Use this code:
import cv2
from urllib.request import urlopen
import numpy as np
url = r'http://192.168.43.236/capture'
while True:
img_resp = urlopen(url)
imgnp = np.asarray(bytearray(img_resp.read()), dtype="uint8")
img = cv2.imdecode(imgnp, -1)
cv2.imshow("Camera", img)
if cv2.waitKey(1) == 113:
break
If you use the url ".../stream", the response for that is never ending and will continue, but if you send a capture request it will give you a reasonable size output.
