Subject: [Motion-user] Network Camera only Camera
Message-ID: <1dbf91ef-81c3-a564-530b-9a5564544...@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
I'm baffled by trying to use a Network Camera as only camera in motion.
ffprobe -rtsp_transport udp
rtsp://1404332:j123456r@192.168.101.51:554/onvif2 gives no problem
but
ffprobe -rtsp_transport tcp
rtsp://1404332:j123456r@192.168.101.51:554/onvif2 gives:
[rtsp @ 0x5624d86b0080] Nonmatching transport in server reply
rtsp://1404332:j123456r@192.168.101.51:554/onvif2: Invalid data found
when processing input
However, nmap -p554 192.168.101.51 gives:
PORT??? STATE SERVICE
554/tcp open? rtsp
MAC Address: 4C:B0:08:8F:8D:7B (Shenzhen Gwelltimes Technology)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.70 seconds
So ffprobe & nmap contradict each other re tcp & udp usage. Am I correct
instating that?
Using "rtsp_uses_tcp off" line shows (whereas "rtsp_uses_tcp on" gives
the "non matching transport" line as in ffprobe):

Unfortunately, the penultimate line for the motion service doesn't show
all of the line. Any ideas?

I would say that nmap is telling you what ports are open and ffprobe is
actually talking to the camera. So the port is open, but it isn't speaking
a language that ffprobe can understand.
Now, on to the problem. The user running motion is unable to write to the
log file /var/log/motion/motion.log. You probably need to just change
ownership of the file to the user that is running motion. My guess is that
you initially ran motion as root and now it has another user.

This database issue is driving me nuts.? I'm using version
4.1.1+git20181002-062a328 of Motion and everything seems to work OK,
except it won't write events to the MySQL database.? I'm sure it's
something I'm not doing right but I can't see it. There are no errors in
the log at any logging level. I have the config file set with:
database_type mysql
database_dbname cameras
database_host localhost
database_port 3306
database_user root
database_password <redacted>
database_busy_timeout 0
sql_log_picture on
sql_log_snapshot off
sql_log_movie on
sql_log_timelapse off
sql_query INSERT INTO cameras.events
(server_number,camera_number,event_number,event_date,video_length,filename)
VALUES (2,%t,%v,{ts '%C'},null,'%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S');
Nothing gets written to the database, and no errors are reported in the
log file.? What am I doing wrong?

The goal has always been to support that case, but there could be a bug
related to the changes to support tying the events together for video and
pictures. I use:
sql_query insert into security_file(camera, event_id, filename, frame,
file_type, time_stamp) values('%t', '%{dbeventid}', '%f', '%q', '%n',
'%Y-%m-%d %T')
sql_query_start insert into security_events (camera, event_time_stamp)
values('%t', '%Y-%m-%d %T')
This might help you. It is worth a try if nothing else. If this does work
and the query alone doesn't, I would be sure to file a bug so we can sort
that out.
What I'm doing here with sql_query_start is generating an event in my
security_events table and then using the ID that it generates to tag each
video and picture so I don't have to guess later on my front-end.
