Hi there, did you ever get this sorted. I am struggling but got a bit further.... To save me explaining all again - here is the support ticket I have submitted:
Thanks - Nick
Hi,
I have 2 identical cameras that worked fine on my QNAP NAS. I am changing to ASUSTOR
They have a very common firmware customisation that includes a Linux RTSP server script : snx_rtsp_server.
When setting up in Surveillance Centre settings I get a green tick and a 'normal' status for a few seconds which then changes to 'disconnected'
If I go to 'live view' and 'Stream from camera' I see the images fine.
If I go to 'live view' and 'Stream from surveillance centre' I get a red message across the screen saying 'Server Connected, waiting for video frame'
(See picture attached)

To rule out problems with the NAS/network setup I installed an RTSP server on my phone. That works fine with the surveillance centre and I can view the camera in 'Stream from Camera' And 'Stream from Surveillance Centre' modes.
(See picture attached)
I though that the problem may have been the settings on the camera but I have tried different frame rates and resolutions.
I tried with and without password (the cameras have no password set on the RTSP server and QNAP connects without)
Surveillance Centre camera setup:
Brand: User-defined
Model: RTP over RTSP (TCP)
Port: 80
RTSP Path: /unicast (tried with and without '/')
RTSP Port: 554
Basically, the same settings that work in QNAP
Camera settings working on QNAP: Frame Q=10, Width 1920 height 1080, frame rate 30, Unicast, Port 554, bitrate 4096, h264, A-Law PCM streaming enabled.
Lower Camera settings tried : Frame Q=10, Width 1280 height 720, frame rate 15, Unicast, Port 554, bitrate 2048, h264, A-Law PCM streaming enabled.
I realise that RTP/RTSP is a complex subject but wondered what the Surveillance centre RTSP specifications were so that I could try and replicate on the cameras.
Both NAS and cameras are on the same network
Cameras and NAS have fixed IP
I hope that you can help
Many thanks in advance
Nick
