[Nesti]

Hi, my language not is English, I'm sorry by this.
I'm new in this forum and it's the first time I'm use this software.

I have a problem, I have installed zoneminder in a clean version of ubuntu server 16.04 and it seems to work, but when I go to adding a camera doesn't work, the log file informs to me of several errors and I don't know how to solve it.
Can someone help to me?

I upload a picture of the log file

Thanks u and best regards

Try using ffmpeg as your source instead of remote.

What camera are you using? What install instructions did you use?

Hi, I have done what you have indicated to me, this is what the log file indicates

but this no work :'(

What camera are you using?

Dlink DCS2121

What install instructions did you use?

I used the instructions on the official website

Test the camera with VLC if you can, or some other rtsp viewer. It looks like the url should be

Code: Select all

rtsp://[username]:[password]@[IPADDRESS]/play2.sdp

without the brackets. Using VLC to test helps eliminate any problems there might be with your zoneminder install. It looks like it's getting a login message instead of a stream.

This is what you use in VLC even Windows version: http://212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg

With your DCS-2121 camera you have two options in Zoneminder

1- JPG Stills:
Source Type: Remote
Remote Host Name: username:password@cam_ip
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /image/jpeg.cgi?profileid=1

or

2- MJPEG:
Source Type: Remote
Remote Host Name: username:password@cam_ip
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /video/mjpg.cgi

Hello, at now VLC work fine, but I don't understand one thing.

In the VLC, if I put the ip address just doesn't work, example:
212.170.22.153

If I put the address of the website just like on the web doesn't work, example:
http://212.170.22.153:8080/view/viewer_ ... html?id=22



But if I put 212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg it's works fine.


why?
I'm sorry for my ignorance

It is probably because "212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg" is the raw video stream, which is what Zoneminder wants,

and

"212.170.22.1453:8080/view/viewer/...?id=22" is serving up an HTML page which surrounds the raw video stream, and Zoneminder has no idea what to do with all that HTML -- it is not a web browser.

The test has already done, in the VLC works perfect but in Zoneminder I still have problems.
Can someone help to me?

Thanks u

Hi all, I think I have solved the problem, in part. I did not complete the zoneminder installation, I lacked to establish the path of the files.


But now I have another problem, I think it's something from the FSR, can someone help me?
