[SOLVED]Foscam FI9903p setup no video on monitor

[bogdanioanliviu]

Hello
I have a camera foscam FI9903p and i'm not able to add it to ZM.
Using rtsp://user:password@ip:http_port/videoMain on my Linux pc with VLC it is working correctly.
I have tried to add it using libVLC, ffmpeg, remote but no luck .
When i open the monitor to view the video from the camera it is just a blue screen , or nothing.

Did someone have some info on this cam.

Installation :
VM - Ubuntu 14.04.2 x86 RAM 1GB
ZM - version 1.28.1. from ppa

Thank you.

The most frequent issue for me is a mis-match of width and height specified in zoneminder. Be sure you get those correct. VLC will show you the display resolution if in doubt (tools, codec info, and display resolution -- NOT resolution which usually has 2 pixels added each way for me).

Also, check the logs to see if you are getting any hints there. Be sure info level is on at minimum when checking.

Don't watch with vlc or others at the same time as zoneminder (while debugging this) in case your camera has connection limits, doubtful but who knows.

Found solution for this camera

The problem was the resolution set in Zoneminder (my mistake )
This is the correct settings for 960P, 720P for Zoneminder
Monitor:
Tab General:
Source Type : FFmpeg
Function : Monitor
Maximum FPS: 8 (it can be empty)

Tab Source:
Source Path: rtsp://user:password@ip:port/videoMain
Remote Method : RTP/Unicast
Target Colorspace: 32bit
Capture Width X Height 1280 X 720

As this camera it is not on the wiki, and it is working with Zoneminder, can someone add this info on the wiki.
Thank you for you're help.

The WiKi is community based and is only as accurate as the volunteers that choose to maintain it.
