Convenience-wrapper around OpenCV-Python rtsp functions.
Features
- fetch a single image as Pillow Image
- open RTSP stream and poll most recent frame as Pillow Image
- preview stream in OpenCV
- uniform interface for local web-cameras for rapid prototyping
- integers will load a local USB or webcam starting with interface 0 via
OpenCV
e.g.rtsp.Client(0)
- 'picam' uses a Raspberry Pi camera as source e.g.
rtsp.Client('picam')
- integers will load a local USB or webcam starting with interface 0 via
Examples
Use RTSP accesss credentials in your connection string e.g. RTSP_URL = f"rtsp://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@192.168.1.221:554/11"
One-off Retrieval
import rtsp
client = rtsp.Client(rtsp_server_uri = 'rtsp://...')
client.read().show()
client.close()
Stream Preview
import rtsp
with rtsp.Client('rtsp://...') as client:
client.preview()
Continuous Retrieval
import rtsp
with rtsp.Client(rtsp_server_uri = 'rtsp://...',buffer_length=15) as client:
_image = client.read()
while True:
process_image(_image)
_image = client.read()
Roadmap:
I don't plan to develop this module any further, as more complex applications are better suited to use OpenCV, Gstreamer, or ffmpeg directly.
To do:
- figure out how to get
cv2.VideoCapture.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_BUFFERSIZE,1)
to work - add better parsing for the RTSP resource URIs.
