RTSP Feed Drops After An Hour or So

Post by mfd229 »

I have an Amcrest UltraHD 2K WiFi Camera that I have set up as a live stream for weather using an RTSP connection, but about every hour or two, the feed drops and the screen goes black. I am using OBS Studio to stream to YouTube, and all I basically have to do is refresh the feed in OBS to get the video to come back on, but it's frustrating that I can't keep the feed up for more than a couple hours. Has anyone run into this before? Suggestions?

Is it possible for you to eliminate any problems with wi-fi first of all by connecting the camera by ethernet.

If the interruptions occur at regular intervals, could it be the timer in OBS cutting the stream off?
