Is streaming enabled? Do you have the following options configured? Can
you open the streams on the localhost with the cameras connected? Being
they're on Ubuntu, is UFB enabled? To check open a terminal and run sudo
ufw status. If enabled, then you need to allow the inbound connections.
GUFW is an easy GUI for adding the rules. If you need help with GUFW, then
email me directly and I can include screenshots.
# Limit the framerate to 1 frame per second when there is no motion being
detected and increase it to the stream_maxrate when there is motion.
stream_motion on
# Maximum framerate for stream streams (default: 1)
stream_maxrate 5
Thanks,
Ronnie McMaster
