Hello, I’m trying to run inference on an IP camera stream by using the instructions here:

> **[On a Video, Webcam or RTSP Stream - Roboflow Inference](https://inference.roboflow.com/quickstart/run_model_on_rtsp_webcam/)**
>
> Scalable, on-device computer vision deployment.

My code is below. I get the following error when creating inference.Stream. Could you please help me understand why?

annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()

def render(predictions, image):  
print(predictions)

Hi @Fremont

Sorry to hear you’re having problems. If you do experience issues with our local inference package, [please file a GitHub issue on the Inference Repo](https://github.com/roboflow/inference/issues/new/choose).
