Install FAQs

1) Which run mode should I pick from the following list of options "d(efault), e(xcl rstudio), t(est) or h(eadless)" when running Bob?

• Please see BOB Running Modes

2) I can't find those test recordings the YouTube videos refer to?

• If you are looking for the test recording when you run BOB, please ensure when you run ./run.sh you select option "t" for Test. Default mode will map your recordings folder from the Bob container into the Web container whereas with the Test option, this volume mapping is skipped. Test mode's purpose is to allow you to explore the application and recordings without having a camera hooked up.

3) I verified that my username, password, and RTSP URL are correct but BOB's UI doesn't show the stream from my camera. What am I doing wrong?

• Does your password contain one or more "@" symbols by chance? There is a known issue with user passwords containing @. We're working to fix this in future versions, but please consider using other special characters for the time being. There is a multitude to choose from.

4) Will BOB work with a USB camera?
