RTSP Assistance

[beerygaz]

I have a shiny new 1.25 installation and my capture card & analog cams are working fine. I can also access my Brickcom WOB-100A via http/MJEPG, but would prefer RTSP and H.264 or MPEG4.

I can access the camera using a browser on rtsp://<ip>/channel1 but when I try to configure ZM I get the following error:

Dec 28 16:04:36 dvr zms[23848]: FAT [You must have ffmpeg libraries installed to use remote camera protocol 'rtsp' for monitor 13]

I have ffmpeg installed in /usr/local/bin, I used the --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local configuration switch and I have modified the path in the ZM options page.

If I set the camera to H.264 instead of MPEG4 then I get the following errors in my log:

Any ideas on troubleshooting would be much appreciated. Is there any more detail I can provide to help identify the issue?

Did you get this problem sorted?

[beerygaz]

Nope, stuck with MJPEG right now, which seem to be a slower frame rate and more bandwidth intense. Any advice?

I have the same problem
Have you managed to solve this problem?

[mastertheknife]

The RTSP mode is old and sometimes broken. You can try the ffmpeg mode instead.

I have a similar problem. I have installed pc with connected cameras. Like a lot of access to debugging. This should also be extended to support for HIKVISION cameras.
