Imou cameras

Post by sueky »

Hi

Thaks for this forum i think its incredible

I've bought some cameras IMOU and i want to use zoneminde on a PC like a recorder

The problems is that i can`t obtain the live image.

I can`t connect to the cameras
I`ve trie a lot of configuration thaht i found on this forum and in other places and I can't get it

I've set static IP.

I've used this config with this path:

rtsp://admin:SAFTEY_CODE@192.168.XX.XX:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
Atached the config

Can anyone help me? What i am doing wrong?

See: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths

It's easier to troubleshoot with ffprobe or ffmpeg.
e.g. try from the terminal:

Code: Select all

ffprobe rtsp://admin:SAFTEY_CODE@192.168.XX.XX:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif
A web search online comes up with:

https://www.ispyconnect.com/camera/imou
https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/imou-rang ... vif.42605/

What model of imou do you have?
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
