Use any RTSP camera with Prusa Connect

I use a cheap Tapo C100 webcam to monitor my 3D prints. It supports RTSP.

Instructions

  1. Go to the Cameras section at https://connect.prusa3d.com
  2. Add a new camera.
  3. Click the QR code link
  4. Click "Start Camera"
  5. Open your browser's inspector window and look for the "/snapshot" request.
  6. Copy the "Fingerprint" and "Token" headers into the docker-compose below.

The end result!
