I recommend searching for and downloading the Amcrest HTTP API doc to learn what all the "Get" device capabilities commands are. There are a lot.

I find this command to be the most useful to list the current active configurations...

<ip>/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=All

An alternative that I used instead of FFServer was Red5 Pro. On Ubuntu, I used this line:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f pulse -i default -f video4linux2 -thread_queue_size 64 -framerate 25 -video_size 640x480 -i /dev/video0 -pix_fmt yuv420p -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -profile:v baseline -level:v 3.2 -c:v libx264 -x264-params keyint=120:scenecut=0 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -ar 44100 -f rtsp -muxdelay 0.1 rtsp://localhost:8554/live/paul
