Hiya all. I have been struggling to add network cameras via the rstp feed. I can add one and get it playing (at a very low resolution) but when I try and add a second camera it states the camera already exists. I am streaming it from an NVR using the same IP address but changing the channel number. Any thoughts? ---

Quick thought, tha same IP address maybe caused the ‘already exists’ prompt, have you try to get the RTSP info and add it directly? ---

Hiya, I have added it through the “add cameras” and then “add manually” ---

Great to know, i have checked with dev-team, confirmed that for now only one channel streaming supported with one IP address, we noted this down and will evaluate it later, will be a bit complicated because the hardware codec capability and resource usage need to be taken into account. ---

Wouldn’t all of that have to be taken into account even for separate IP addresses? ---

Already taken into account, what I mean is that when the channel increases with one ip address, the consumption of resources may increase exponentially. ---

Ah ok. I don’t know if it makes any difference but I had use the low resolution stream, the high res wouldn’t load ---

I have the same issue with iHost and Reolink NVR, only one camera, hope this can be fixed as it was reported more than a year ago ---
