TinyCam is terrific for this if an android solution works for you, but stability is not the best with mobile devices being reliant on battery function and other processes of the Android system not gumming up the works. This solution is also better at recovery from a power loss or reboot in automatically starting up with full display immediately upon restoration of power. I have yet to try this, but as good as TinyCam is, those limitations remain problematic for me.

It is important that layout configuration files do not contain camera names for feeds that don't exist. These extra cameras being defined means the system has to wait to error out on those missing feeds before finishing a host of operations (including the watchdog service). It also breaks rotation (where enabled).

This doesn't work anymore, from GitHub "As of Raspbian Bullseye release (as well as RPi4B), omxplayer and the hardware decoding that work hand-in-hand are deprecated and/or unsupported. In order to use displaycameras, you should install raspbian buster (lite preferred). If you use an RPi4B, your source video codec must have hardware decode support in the RPi4B gpu. displaycameras may be rewritten around vlc, but challenges with vlc's DBUS support (for multiple vlc instances) may prevent the rewrite."

Nice video, but I would make 2 small observations: 1. `sudo apt-get upgrade` is NOT the right command to use. `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` is the correct way to install updates on Raspbian. The latter ensures that packages with new dependencies since the installed version have those dependencies satisfied whereas the plain `upgrade` just upgrades the packages that already exist WITHOUT installing any new dependencies which can lead to broken packages. 2. `chmod +x install.sh` is DANGEROUS! `chmod u+x install.sh` was all that was required. Execute permissions (like write permissions) should never be given to all users unless absolutely necessary. It is a dangerous shortcut to teach - if users use the same logic with other shell scripts then they risk opening their RaspberryPi to all sorts of attack. Especially where sensitive data like live video feeds are at stake learning to keep a system secure (or at least how not to open everything to the world) is important. Please don't teach people how to break their system and how to compromise it's security. Teach them how to upgrade it safely and stay safe. Security shouldn't be an add-on with IoT it should be the core on which it is built. It's 2019 and we know how dangerous the internet can be now.

In my case, I would have the upper left window popping up, but with a lot of flickering and no discernible image (almost a seizure test). What fixed the problem is reducing the quality of the RTSP streaming. For Reolink cameras specificaly, looks like it has two separate streaming links, one called "Main", and the other one called "Sub". When I tried using the sub instead of the main streaming link, it worked immediately. Thank you for the detailed video!

I followed this tutorial today and it worked perfectly. I used Pi 3 B+, POE Hat, and the latest Raspbian Buster Lite. I did reach out to support on the Wimaxit display and asked about that 2nd Micro USB port. They told me that port is for future use but currently has no function attached to it so it cannot be used to "pass through" power to the Pi. I won't be using that display, however, as I need something with a bit more robust case and VESA mount.

I have just done this but with a Raspberry Pi 4, still straight forward but a few things to note. Raspberry Pi now have their own OS installer app which takes care of the formatting etc. It's also now no longer called Raspbian so you need to select Raspberry Pi OS (Other) then select Rasperry Pi OS Lite (32 Bit). A couple of the original boot options are now in different places but easy to find. Other things to note is the resolutions of the bottom left and bottom right need to go to 800 not 799, if you go to 799 you will see the blinking cursor in the bottom left all the time, so these would be: Lower Left: 0 400 639 800 Lower Right: 640 400 1279 800 You will also be missing an entire column of pixels on the right hand side (top right and bottom right) but isnt as noticible, if its an issue then change 1279 to 1280. As for the Pi 4 on this screen, it does fit ok. Only thing you will need to bear in mind is the USB passthrough is USB micro B but the Pi 4 is Now USB C, I didnt get a cable for this as I'm using POE so cant comment on this, also the HDMI is Micro HDMI (Type D) on the New Pi 4 so you will need to find a converter cable as the screen is still full fat HDMI. Also a note about the HDMI calbe that comes with the screen, I didnt recieve a small one like pictured on amazon instead got a 3' cable which is going straight in the bin.

One problem that I have (I've tried very hard to find the answer online without succes) is that I have two different makes of camera, Foscam and Sricam, both rtsp feeds work fine in VLC but only the Foscam works with Pi. The only difference that I can see is that the url for the Foscam ends with /videoMain and the Sricam with /onvif1 or 2. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I used to program in ALGOL on an Eliot 803 back in the sixties so you can guess that I'm no "spring chicken". Once again thanks for your excellent teaching.

It displays the boot sequence and asks for a password. So, this no longer works.

Thanks for this Chris, worked out a treat! I have six cameras on the default unifi-style view, i.e. upper_left is camera one, and surrounding it on the right and bottom by the remaining five cameras. Easy to setup, and a nice use of a Pi, especially as I run it over wifi. No camera lag either. TV is a 1920 x 1080, so the primary large camera is using high RTSP stream, and the remaining are on the low-res stream, so it all displays correctly. Putting a higher res feed to the surrounding cameras causes the software to error out and blank out the screen, I do not think it can handle over-sized resolutions for the smaller sections (basically it seems unable to do any sort of decent resolution scaling).

Great videos as always - you have convinced me to go Ubiquiti throughout, and very happy with them all. I happened to have bought the exact same screen through Amazon UK (Currently £69.99) and had the same issue getting off the screen protector - disassembling allowed easy removal as it had been trapped between the perspex panels during assembly, not great problem though. I am using a pi 4 and it happily powers the screen through the USB 3 port, and combined with the PoE HAT (official Raspberry Pi v2 from PiHut), it really is a single cable setup. Stable and excellent picture quality, Next is to set up a cron job to auto turn on and off the screen on a timer when not in the office - I already do this on my Raspberry Pi Dakboard

Getting a higher power "Brick" is always a very good idea for a Raspberry Pi 3 or higher. I have found 90% of USB cables 1mtr or longer lose too much voltage along the cable to be usable reliably. Half of them wont even recharge my USB battery pack!. Getting a good quality PSU is important for Raspberry Pi stability. I know people say just use a USB charger, but most of them are not stable enough to run a Pi stabiliy without getting voltage errors or freezing. Just my experience. This whole setup process looks pretty complex for most people that would just want a simple way to view a camera. What is the advantage of this system over something like MotionEye or ZoneMinder, which are also free and use RTSP?

@@jamess1787 Thank you for this suggestion! I did this using an old Fire 7 and worked very easily. Do you know what the security is using something like Onvifer? Is the app acting as a receiver or is my video able to be accessed by someone else?

@@michaelhart9607 I have the fire 7 tablet connected on a part of my home network that can't access the internet (firewalled). Sometimes the onvifer app is flakey/needs a reboot or my DVR is acting up. Not sure which is causing the issue: ordered a new DVR because I think it's occasionally overheating (it beep beeps and I lose all cameras on that DVR). I don't think onvifer is uploading or attempting to: haven't seen any issues with bandwidth leaving towards the internet on my firewall. I'd say it's pretty safe (it's firewalled, so it can't even attempt. Haven't tried to packet dump that network though so YMMV.)

This video is the only reason I decided to buy Unify cameras as I wouldn't without a monitor solution like this. Thank you, Chris. The only differences in my plan is I opted for a VESA pi case to attach to the back of an old monitor and Pi 4 for the wifi.
