Unifi Protect Cameras

Hi!
I am trying to create a camera/media tile to display my Unifi Protect cameras. The RSTP link generated by the camera is rtsps://10.0.0.134:7441/xVlOR1mztddcX6FL?enableSrtp but copying this link to a media tile does nothing. Can someone help me understand what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Wow, I missed this… Do you still need help with this?

Yes! Still unresolved

So, there may be a way (that’s easy) to display the full stream…
I have read into a few ideas, but they all involved additional sites and possibly hosting your own service. So went a simple route (for now)…

This requires you to setup an anonymous snapshot on the cameras you want to display.

Step 1: get (or edit) the camera password:

Get the actual IP for each camera (ensure you have toggled “static” so the IP doesn’t change

Navigating to the actual camera IP, login with “ubnt” and the password from Step 1:

Check the block for “anonymous snapshot”

You can now obtain a snapshot by using:
<>/snap.jpeg

Now navigate back to SharpTools and add this URL as a media tile - most likely the photo will not show in the UI, but it will show when you save it and view on the dashboard:

Thanks so much for this!

Has anyone else found the quality of the snap.jpeg has decreased with new unifi protect updates? If you click on the image tile in your dashboard, the image is so pixelated

I decided to take a swing at this but without any luck. The anonymous snapshot is enabled and can be accessed on my browser. However, the dashboard shows what appears to be a broken link. I suspect that I am missing something obvious.

Most likely a mixed content issue.

Some workarounds for mixed content blocking in Chrome are discussed in the following thread and I suspect similar approaches must exist for Firefox.
