Help wanted using RTSP stream instead of Pi cam

[ThoR4X]

Hello Jacob,

many thanks for your work!

My TP-Link Tapo C320WS provides an "AI detection", including people detection and also provides ONVIF services BUT does not send notifications regarding people detection because this seems to be a cloud feature and is not proccessed by the cam itself, I guess. But it does provide a local RTSP stream, wich I do already use for my doorbell. Hence, I was looking for a solution enabling people detection, without any cloud vendor and do it myself locally.

tl;dr:
Is it possible to use a local RTSP stream instead of the local Pi cam as device / source for detection?

Best regards,
Patrick

You can change the image feed from pi camera to anything you desire, try modify this to your requirements: self.cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
