Help with IPDM241-3OI camera

[ZioTibia81]

Hi!
I'm doing some tests with a cuple of IPDM241-3OI cameras.

My sistem use ubuntu 17.10 and distribution standard build of zm.

I've tested many configurations:

Camera settings for H264 stream

1. Method FFMPEG rtsp://admin:1111@ip/av0_0
   It works but take a lot of cpu (2 cams 70% of cpu)
2. Method Remote RTP/RTSP - TCP
   It take a little less cpu but log many errors like:
   "8: 00 00 01 06 e5 01 15 80 zm_remote_camera_rtsp.cpp ERR Error while decoding frame 3700"
   and ZM crash after a some hours
3. Method libvlc desn't work

Camera settings for MJPEG stream

1. Method FFMPEG rtsp://admin:1111@ip/av0_0
   It works but take a lot of cpu (2 cams 70% of cpu)
2. Method Remote RTP/RTSP - TCP
   It desn't work and report error:
   Error while decoding frame 0
   ERR: 256 00 00 00 00 01 ff f0 .....
3. Method libvlc works, take a little less cpu than ffmpeg but flood syslog of entry like:
   jpeg @ 0x7f6eb4046540
   JPEG data found in image

How I can reduce cpu usage?

[iconnor]

Lower the fps in the camera, lower the resolution (in the camera) or get a more power cpu.

[iconnor]

Or pay someone lots of money to make hardware h264 decoding work.

I will try your first suggestion, last one is a little bit hard for me....
