hey all,

i am brand new to octoprint and wanted to set up a better camera for my new bambu lab A1 printer, i have currently got a tapo c100 camera as its got night vision and rtsp (i plan to use it for timelapse and for spagetti detection) but i am unsure of how i connect it to octoprint, i cant really find any up to date/simple help or advice around for someone new so i was wondering if anyone would be able to help?

Hi.

Can you check if your C100 has a RTSP port ( I think it's 554 or 544)? So Https://yourcamerasip:554/stream1

If so you need to run a command on the pi to take the RTSP video and convert it to mjpeg format and output it on a port like 8082. Then of course set octoprint to use that stream on port 8082
