ZoneMinder Forums

I’ve been in the same boat looking for RTSP-compatible cams that work well with Zoneminder without needing cloud access or third-party apps. Yeah, I still haven't really worked it out... Think the real answer is something with POE, but I have great difficulty running any cables round my place ( ...

Thanks Andy.
Think it is more the dodgy chinese camera, but will continue trying...

Anyone know/have experience with this camera and Zoneminder??
Trying to figure out if there are any "not too expensive" battery/wifi cameras that will work successfully with Zoneminder....
Anyone?
Thanks.

Mostly sorted...

Thanks.

Have the above camera, and after much trying/testing/failing, have got it working with the following settings: General: Source type: FFMpeg Source: Source Path: rtsp://admin:admin@<YOUR IP>:6554/index.htm Method: TCP Capture Resolution: 1920x1080 Yes, default user/password is admin/admin, but can be ...

Have just setup an additional camera (Nextech QC3864 - pretty useless...), and trying to get motion detect to work. Works OK for the initiall "All" area, but if I try and setup another area, doesn't seem to matter what I do, it will not detect. Have tried to copy (mostly) the settings from the All ...

Well, that would be good, but can't seem to do with this camera....? If you have the camera's IP, try running nmap on it. That will hopefully tell you if it has an rtsp port open. Some that have it are oddball, like 10554. So run all ports if a normal scan doesn't show an rtsp. Thanks!! Have got ...

Sure this topic must already exist, but can't find it... Can anyone point me to a source that details/helps me find, a camera that can be used locally? ie doesn't need an app, can be accessed using rtsp://, or even https://, and controlled/monitored using Zoneminder, locally? Have a Nextech QC3864 ...

Thanks for your reply, anyways!
Will continue to investigate....

Yep, know the ip, but connecting through a browser gives me nothing. Have also run nmap, and there are 2 ports open, but trying to connect in a browser to them, also gives me nothing. Have used telnet to try and connect also. 1 of the ports connects, gives message about escape character, and ...

Not sure if this is where I ask questions about camera brands, but: Have a Nextech QC3864 camera which uses the Tuya app to setup. Anyone have any ideas on the settings required for this camera/how to find the correct settings? Not much info about. Agent DVR is supposed to have "built in support ...

Old post again, but thanks for the tip!

Anyone aware whether the above camera (https://tinyurl.com/2ybjfqp5) is compatible with Zoneminder/can be used as an IP camera.
Obviously it would most likely be a rebrand of something else...
Anyone com across it?
Thanks.
