ZM 1.24.1 & ACTi camera

CrazyPilot · Post by **CrazyPilot** » Wed May 20, 2009 12:58 pm

Hello all!

Sorry, my English a little bit bad. Try to explain my problem =)

I can not connect the camera to ZoneMinder.
I have an ip camera ACTi, a model I do not know.

I have read the forum but found no solutions.
Found a solution here, but it does not work ...
The server operating system is CentOS 5.3

I am trying to connect the camera using the rtsp, but it fails.

In the debug logs:

Code: Select all

[root@foxhound ffmpeg]# cat /tmp/zm_debug.log_rtsp
05/20/09 16:36:03.042170 zmc_m7[21918].INF-zm_debug.c/292 [New Debug Level = 9, New Debug Log = /tmp/zm_debug.log_rtsp]

ffmpeg version:

At least one output file must be specified

I applied a patch to ffmpeg [basic auth], but i can not make it all work

I have 2 axis ip webcam and it works succefull.

Maybe the reason that the camera is not working to be that it is in another subnet? I have a router on freebsd 7.2 release. In router two local network interfaces. ZoneMinder is in the network 10.10.1.0/24, and the camera is in the network 10.10.2.0/24
Firewall allows all packets between those networks.

I can not understand what else can I try to make zoneminder to work with this camera. The most interesting thing is that vlc player in the network 10.10.1.0/24 plays stream from the camera by rtsp proto. Why zoneminder can not - do not understand.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance...

SOLVED!

I have already said that vlc can catch the stream from the camera, so I succeeded in this way (run on zm server):

Code: Select all

In the ZM camera settings:
Source Type => ffmpeg
Source path => http://10.10.1.106:9023

This works perfectly!
