Greetings,

I've spent hours with the assistance of ChatGPT and we couldn't get Ubuntu 24.04 with 7 Dahua IP cams to display anything but low res. What am I missing?

Thanks

I also purchased a $15 license expected to get HD but they don't specify if it's 720 or FHD @ 1080

What is(are) the camera model(s)?
What is the RTSP URL being utilized with the cameras?
 
Agent DVR discovered the URL’s automatically via ONVIF.

rtsp:/<username>:<password>@192.168.1.12:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

Dahua Camera models are:
SD40225T-HN
SD1A203T-GN-W
SD22204T-GN
IP4M-1028
IPC-HDW4231EMP-ASE
IP3M-941

Since the subtype is "0" (zero) then it should be displayed as the main stream as long as the camera's main stream has been set up in its webGUI to at least 1080p then that's what you should get. The sub stream URL would be "subtype=1."

What does VLC do with that URL? If it shows 1080 then the issue is with Agent DVR and they mean HD is 720p, not 1080p.
 
VLC res is fine. So if their std paid package can't do 1080p I'm moving on to something that can. I appreciate the info and saves me alot of time debugging.
