> "At first, I was presented with an endless spinner, as I hadn’t configured things properly. The documentation on Github is enough, but frustratingly, the failure mode I ran into was the video just… not loading. However, I eventually got it nailed down, and now I have a new camera in Protect." ------------------------ It is unfortunate that they decided to omit how they fixed the last issue they mentioned. That could've been useful knowledge for others

Honestly, I saw this and was very interested to learn how they actually solved the problem. Cool that OP did it! Bummed that they weren't willing to share how they did it.

I also thought this strange to leave out the exact details and information that people would actually be interested to learn about.

"The documentation on Github is enough, but frustratingly, the failure mode I ran into was the video just… not loading. However, I eventually got it nailed down, and now I have a new camera in Protect." Are you sure you want to go down this route: "Turn device into IP Camera"? - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ip-camera-lite/id1013455241 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ip-camera-lite/id1013455241 Anyway - this is likely the Github mentioned: https://github.com/p10tyr/rtsp-to-onvif https://github.com/p10tyr/rtsp-to-onvif ... its a proxy that takes a RTSP stream and makes it look all lovely and ONVIF (ie discoverable). The particular fix that OP mentions will be in that Github repo/wiki/issues but given I don't anything Apple, I can't be arsed to search I think that Frigate has recently had a proxy or proxy handling recently added. Zoneminder would also work with this approach. Please, whatever you do, put your cameras on their own VLAN, with no access to the internet. Especially if names like Reolink (int al) are involved. I own quite a few Reos and they live on a VLAN called SEWER!

Might be a case of: tried so many things, no idea what fixed it.
