We are installing some old Amcrest IP cameras to allow remote monitoring of the 3D printers.



The IP cameras have static IPs on the Asmbly local network, eg. <code>192.168.0.244</code>



We are making the RTSP stream (TCP and UDP port 554) available to the outside world at <code>shop.asmbly.org:3NNN</code> with NNN matching the IP of the camera,  for example you should be able to view a stream using VLC by specifying <code>rtsp://viewer:PASSWORD@shop.asmbly.org:3NNN</code> 



Because web browsers don't natively support RTSP streams, we have set up an installation of [https://docs.datarhei.com/restreamer Restreamer] on an AWS EC2 instance that pulls the RTSP streams and makes them available in a web player. 



To set up Restreamer we did:

 ssh ec2-user@ec2-18-117-124-192.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com

 sudo yum install -y docker

 sudo service docker start

 sudo usermod -a -G docker ec2-user

 docker run -d --restart always \

   --name restreamer \

   -e "RS_USERNAME=admin" \

   -e "RS_PASSWORD=[REDACTED]" \

   -p 8080:8080 \

   -v /home/ec2-userrestreamer/db:/restreamer/db \

   datarhei/restreamer:latest



Then configured the stream using the web interface.
