Adding a Remote Camera

See original GitHub issue

Hi guys.

So I am trying to add a remote camera over WAN, meaning the NVR and the Camera are not in the same network. Everything is working except the recording/live feature and this is because it connects to a default port.

I am running with these options: unifi-cam-proxy --host IP -i IP:8081 --mac '08:a1:89:92:74:c9' --cert client.pem --token 238482h34jj2 hikvision -u admin -p Som3PasS

In Unifi-Video itself I see the camera but when I try to view it Live or set it up I get: INFO Spawning ffmpeg for video2 (wt7S2_08A1899274C9_1): ffmpeg -nostdin -y -stimeout 15000000 -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://admin:Som3PasS@IP:8081:554/Streaming/Channels/3/" -c:v copy -ar 32000 -ac 1 -codec:a aac -b:a 32k -metadata streamname=wt7S2_08A1899274C9_1 -f flv - | /usr/bin/python3 -m unifi.clock_sync | nc NVR-IP 6666

So it is connecting to rtsp://admin:Som3PasS@IP:8081:554 which is not OK ) Is there a way to change the default RTSP port to another one? Because I am using NAT so the port is 10554. The reason I need this option is because there are 4 cameras there, so I cant just map 554 and 80 from Hikvision to WAN IP, because it will only make one camera to work.

Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Later add Maybe adding a parameter like –port and –rtspport could fix the issue for all types of cameras and connections. So it could be issued like:

unifi-cam-proxy --host IP -i 34.24.24.1 --port 8081 --mac '08:a1:89:92:74:c9' --cert client.pem --token 238482h34jj2 hikvision -u admin -p Som3PasS --rtspport 10554
