record stream from another Zoneminder's camera

Post by JungleGeorge »

We have a remote Zoneminder installed and working:
  • + on an old PC
    + on one 40 Gb hard disk
    + with one USB camera, pointed at a parking area
    + set to Function in Monitor mode, no recording
    + 8 users view this camera occasionally to find available parking spaces
    + using web browsers on computers
    + using IP Cam Viewer on phones
With IP Cam Viewer, it simply works like this:
  • Make: Zoneminder
    Model: Zoneminder Camera Server
    Host: <remote Zoneminder URL>
    Http Port: 80
    Ch.#: 1
    User: <user>
    Pswd: <password>
So everybody wants to keep the above remote Zoneminder accessible as-is.

We have another local Zoneminder with new hardware and much better capacity.
On this local Zoneminder we would like record the feed from the above remote Zoneminder's camera.

How would you do that?
In the Source tab, what would be the Remote Protocol, Remote Method, etc?

I have never done this, but I can make an assumption, if this works please post:

Source Tab:
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Hostname: Remote Zoneminder IP address
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /cgi-bin/zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=15&buffer=1000


Replace monitor=1 with monitor=x where x is the monitor id of the camera on the remote box. This assumes you have no authentication, if you do and you have set your AUTH_HASH_SECRET in the options pages on the system tab, then append &auth=yoursecuritystring
