[Camera Support]: main stream on Anpviz IPC-D363WD-SA unreliable and no sound #10179
-
Describe the problem you are havingI am experiencing difficulty configuring an Anpviz IPC-D363WD-SA camera in Frigate running on a docker container in Ubuntu 23.10 on bare metal. The problem is that the main stream which goes through go2rtc isn't working properly. If I view this stream in the Frigate web gui, it takes a long time to load using webrtc and even then the video feed is about 10 seconds delayed. If I try mse, then I can get it to load one frame pretty quickly but after than nothing. There is also no sound. In comparison, the substream works fine, but I don't stream it through go2rt. It gets pulled into Frigate directly. Both the main stream and substream are H.264. But as you can see from the log below, there is an error saying I am at a loss about the cause of the problem. I searched the discussion board but to no avail. I am hoping someone can point out the mistake I am making in the config file. I assume I am overlooking something.

I get a similar error if I pull the main stream into Frigate directly to record: |

seems the camera is just sending incorrect h264 data. If it works directly with frigate then I would just use that since frigate's default args are more forgiving |

Okay. But I am still not getting any audio recorded when pulling directly into Frigate. Here's that section of my config file. The camera is set to AAC at 16000. |

I've tried that but it doesn't make a difference. I think there's another error that is not getting flagged in the log. When I watch the terminal, I'm seeing this: Is this just bad data coming off the camera? I am wondering if I should try H265. |

The go2rtc github says that it works with ISAPI. That's what these cameras are using. So something isn't working. I've tried using three additional cameras of this same model and get the same weird behavior where Frigate recognizes that no new recordings have been made in 120 seconds and restarts ffmpeg. |

Frigate seems to be losing the connection with the camera. The recording drops intermittently and then Frigate restarts ffmpeg after detecting no new recordings for 120 seconds. Then it records for a bit and then stops. Frigate restarts ffmpeg again after 120 seconds of no new recordings. And there is never any audio. This happens when I set the camera to encode in either H264 or H265. What is going on? |

Solved! @NickM-27 points out that his Hikvision camera only works with two-way audio if the audio encoding is G711ulaw (AlexxIT/go2rtc#972). I believe my friends' Anpviz cameras are Hikvision clones. So I changed the encoding to G711 from AAC in the camera GUI. I made the change and now Frigate is recording all of these Anpviz cameras and I can view them using MSE. |
