recording sound

Post by robf355gts »

Hi
I'm a new user, recently installed zoneminder. 1.34.16 - great piece of software.
I previously used an old composite AVtech video system, that recorded a separate audio stream along with the video channels. Is this possible in zoneminder?
The one camera where the mic is located is video only, but I can feed the mic audio into the PC line in. Does anyone know if its possible to add in a separate monitor for audio only, or maybe specify the audio source for one of the monitor channels?
Any advice appreciated.
Regards
Rob Carter

I think it's a planned feature (separate audio stream), but not in 1.34. IIRC, in 1.34, video stream must have a supported audio stream in the video container. Some camera's audio are supported, and some are not. Probably Hikvision and axis are supported, I am guessing. I'm sure some others as well.

It's been discussed on the forums previously.
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

This will be in 1.35/1.36. Maybe in the next month or so. It's a solid days work for sure.
