PTZ camera input

What is the actor that receives a PTZ camera feed via ip?
I found all the PTZ control actors, but nothing that gets the source.
I made a workaround by using OBS to get the camera feed and output to spout. I then used the spout receiver actor in Izzy for the PTZ. Please tell me there's a more direct way.
I remember a long time ago in v1 or 2 I was entering ip addresses somewhere, but can't find it in v3 or 4.
Thank you!

@callie what video over ip protocol is your camera using?
Isadora has an NDI actor, but obviously that's only useful if your camera uses NDI

@thatmattrogers The link to the model is: 20x Optical Zoom PTZ Camera HDMI USB3.0 IP Live Streaming Camera HD 1080P 60fps Video Conference Camera POE Supply for Church Services Worship Educati https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BV...
I don't think it has an NDI mode.

It looks like the unit supports VISCA, so you should be able to use the VISCA actor to control the unit over the network. It's unclear what it uses for IP video streaming though..
I don't see NDI support listed. If you can find details on what it sends/supports it is likely that there is a way to work with it via the Pythoner actor.

Is there a way to get a rtsp streamdirect in Isadora with python actor? And if yes, how? I have been wishing for an rtsp input actor for a very long time. At this time I use VLC Syphon with the syphon actor.
Best regards,Jean-François

I haven't done this yet, but yes. It seems the OpenCV video capture function supports RTSP.
This page provides some code: Capture RTSP Stream from IP Camera using OpenCV | LindevsWhat specific RTSP feed do you want to capture?
I might be interested in writing this code in a portable way and creating a User Actor that provides an easy interface to use. -
@dusx would it be possible on Windows?

motion jpeg and h264 with the possibility to switch the sound on/off
It would be great if you could made an actor. I am too bad with python to write it myself. I will try but my success chances are very low.
thanks
