Cancelled. Seems camera is faulty. Tried: camera's recommended phone app iSpy Kerberos OBS ODM traffic analysis Searching for an ONVIF compatible ptz camera, any suggestions? Affordable, but able to read (or clear enough to zoom in) number plates would be incredible if such a product exists.

I put the specs in the 1st and 2nd post Sat Mar 23, 2024 7:10 pm
I followed the guide, but after a zm reboot, that funny setting appeared.

Control Address: admin:<password>@192.168.1.180:554/onvif, where <password> means I have different text for a real password like ZoneMinderIsTheBestChuckOutTheRest. I'm keeping the password simple for now, as I don't think ZM could handle a more secure passphrase like: directory deepen shifting ...

The logs show this:

Ok, so what might the Control Address be?
Currently the Control Address is rtsp://admin@192.168.1.180

No, but I have just now. I'm not sure how nmap helps find the path for the ptz control? linuxmint@linuxmint:~$ nmap 192.168.1.180 Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2024-03-29 18:57 AEST Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.180 Host is up (0.0017s latency).

Yes, the reset camera is in focus, albeit upside down as the camera is hanging from a ceiling upside down, which I fixed by setting the local camera settings. I tried 1: ONVIFViewer , but it doesn't load from Linux Mint 21.3 Software Manager. Downloaded ONVIFViewer https://sourceforge.net/projects ...

Thanks, DHCP and Static IP is quite clear and a non issue.
I wasn't aware the camera reset removed the set static ip and had reset the camera's static IP to 192.168.1.180.

The main and outstanding issue is finding whatever the Control Address is for the camera's PTZ control via ZM.

Post Sat Mar 23, 2024 8:39 pm shows some configuration. Control Type: Netcat ONVIF Control Device: /onvif/ptz_service Control Address: 192.168.1.214:8080/onfiv/ptz_service Additional to the configurations I tried in Sat Mar 23, 2024 7:10 pm, I just tried this: Zone Minder v1.36.33 -> Control ...

Solved, found the new IP address.
Password failed, don't know the default and admin failed.
Just tried no password and I'm in again?

So, back to setting up ZM and troubleshooting ptz control via zm.
I understand the zm controls are not in that giant list of cameras, so I'll read up and play around.

No, it's an old camera. Power has always been fine. Something I don't understand is: Desktop on the same LAN -> Terminal -> arp -a linuxmint@linuxmint:~$ arp -a ?

Thanks, but unfortunately, the rabbit hole has become the abyss of death. I hired some remote support, but they had no clue, just hacking away and working off my navigation and use of the software. I woke up in the morning and the always in focus camera is somehow now out of focus. I was unable to ...

Tried a number of configurations: ZM v1.36.33 -> Console -> 192.168.1.180 -> Control -> Control Type: ONVIF, Control Address: admin:80@192.168.1.180 Control Type: ONVIF, Control Address: admin:554@192.168.1.180 Control Type: ONVIF, Control Address: admin:6060@192.168.1.180 Control Type: ONVIF ...
