Streaming from logitech quickcam

[alleninmt]

I have a logitech quickcam set up on my linux desktop and zoneminder set up on a separate machine. I want to stream rtsp from the desktop to the zm machine.

I'm able to stream using the following command:

Code: Select all

cvlc -vvv v4l2:///dev/video0 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=600,fps=10,acodec=none}:rtp{sdp=rtsp://:5544/stream.sdp}"

I've tried using mencoder and ffmpeg and just can't get a usable stream out of either of those.

I can pick that stream up on a different machine using vlc with this address:

Code: Select all

rtsp://localhost:5544/stream.sdp

So my question is, how do I get that stream in to zoneminder? I've tried different variations of this setup:


The 58.17 address is the address of my desktop.

The source comes up green in the zm console but I can't get an image when I try to view the stream inside zoneminder.

I suspect it's a format thing.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
