Cisco Camera Support?

Post by mike548141 »

Hi,

Does anyone know if ZM is compatible with Cisco 2500 and 4000 series IP cameras?

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7307/index.html

Specifically PTZ, on camera motion detection and video streaming?

Thanks,

MC

The cameras you post are h264 and MJPEG both of which are supported with FFMPEG (most likely) and the MJPEG stream may be supported with just the remote option in ZM. As for PTZ cisco has a full XML interface with the camera that would be comptable with ZM but would require writing the actual interfacer with the camera if it doesn't currently exist (but should be fairly simple).

Finally as for using onboard motion detection the camera does support remote calling on events so could be made to work with ZM without much issue.
