## Description

Calibrate a new dataset from live RTSP camera streams via the AutoMagicCalib REST API. Use when the user provides RTSP URLs or asks to calibrate live cameras; VIOS records clips, AMC ingests them, then runs calibration.

# Skill: Calibrate from RTSP Streams

## When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user wants to calibrate from live RTSP camera streams. Typical prompts:

- "calibrate RTSP streams" / "calibrate from live cameras"
- "run AMC on RTSP"
- The user provides one or more `rtsp://...` URLs

VIOS records fixed-duration clips from each stream, the AMC microservice ingests those clips into a project, then the workflow follows the same verification, calibration, polling, and results path as pre-recorded MP4 calibration.

Do not use this skill for local MP4 files already on disk; route those requests to `skills/amc-run-video-calibration/SKILL.md`. Do not use it for the bundled sample dataset; route that to `skills/amc-run-sample-calibration/SKILL.md`.

Never reuse files from the bundled sample dataset, extracted sample zip, `assets/`, or previous projects for RTSP calibration unless the user explicitly provides those paths for this RTSP scene. Similar camera names, stream counts, or `cam_00`/`cam_01` ordering are not evidence that sample alignment, layout, GT, or detector settings apply.

## Prerequisites

- [ ] AMC microservice and UI running (follow `skills/amc-setup-calibration-stack/SKILL.md` if needed).
- [ ] VIOS is running and reachable from the AMC microservice.
- [ ] `VIOS_BASE_URL` is configured in the AMC microservice environment before capture starts.
- [ ] RTSP URLs are reachable from the VIOS host.
- [ ] Camera streams have enough moving people/objects for calibration; record at least 2-3 minutes when possible.
- [ ] Python 3 with `requests` installed when using the bundled script.

## Data Privacy

RTSP URLs may contain usernames, passwords, hostnames, or network topology. Do not print full RTSP URLs if credentials are embedded. This skill does not handle bearer credentials; if the VIOS deployment requires authentication, stop and hand the user to a manual admin-managed workflow instead of collecting or relaying secrets in chat, scripts, or logs.
