ESP32 video stream through reverse proxy

Morten Kallesen asked 3 years ago

Hi. I have followed the tutorial ESP32-CAM video streaming web server, and it works on my local network with 10-15 fps. My only issue was with Node Red, where i had to add a height=”xxx px” to the template code, or It would show a flattened image on the Dashboard. I use Node Red v3.0.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3.
To make things really smart when I am away from home, I have installed NGINX and have reverse proxied Grafana, Node Red and the Dashboard – with password protection of course. When I am at home on my local network, I get a stream from http://192.168.1.130, no problem. But Dashboard does not show the stream if I access it via the webserver. Any idea why?  The idea was to have access to the camera feed from a remote location. I have been careful to shut down all other browsers, so that no other clients are active on the ESP32-Cam webpage.

Hi.
I’m sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
Have you solved your issue yet?
To be honest, I have no idea what might be wrong. Can you provide more details?
Regards,
Sara

Hi
I found this page – https://mpolinowski.github.io/devnotes/2018-11-26–node-red-and-live-video#using-your-cameras-mjpeg-stream
This works. I set the msg.url to my mjpeg streaming page, and I get a picture. This is running on a RasPi3, and the load on the cpu is somewaht high when grabbing an image. The CLI command “top” shows 30-40% spikes for Node Red. I think it is time to move to a RasPi4.

Hi.
Great! I’m glad you found the issue.
What OS are you using on your Pi? Have you tried installing the Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit and see if you get better results?
Regards,
Sara
