Can't connect to ACTi ACM-1231 anymore

[neek]

Hi, I've been having corruption issues with 1.26, so I've decided to try 1.28. I did a clean install of 1.28.1, and now I'm unable to get a functional monitor setup for my ACTi ACM-1231.

My settings:

Source type: ffmpeg
Source Path: admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.11:7070
Remote Method: tried RTP/RTSP and RTP/RTSP/HTTP

Also tried:

Source type: remote
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Host Name: admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.11
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /cgi-bin/cmd/encoder?GET_STREAM

I can confirm that VLC is able to access the stream at network path:

http://admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.11/cgi- ... GET_STREAM

In my logs, the most common error appears to be zmc_m1 reporting ERR: "Unable to open input 192.168.0.11:7070 due to: Success"

The camera shows only the blue screen.

Any suggestions of how I can better diagnose the issue?

thanks!

Is ZM 1.28.1 able to handle MJPEG streams via remote? I found in the logs that it looks like ZM is failing due to a bad JPEG header.

Code: Select all

2015-06-10 21:15:52.619101	zmc_m1	25658	ERR	Unable to get response	zm_remote_camera_http.cpp	1190
2015-06-10 21:15:52.614321	zmc_m1	25658	ERR	Found bogus jpeg header '0000'	zm_remote_camera_http.cpp	1141

My camera is only able to output MPEG or MJPEG.

thanks!

you do have a blue screen? check that you have the correct camera resolution set in the configuration. most of the time the blue screen is the result of having the resolution incorrect. you can find the true transmitted res values by opening the camera with VLC if the url works in VLC then that URL will work on zoneminder.
