Add a P2P camera

Post by vazquezjm »

Hi.

I've been given a P2P camera and don't have a clue on how to use it with ZM and if it is possible.

I use an app called Play2View which can be downloaded from the Play Store and the camera is added by typing a code and password, or scanning a QR Code. Then the camera is added to the app. Same thing with a Windows App.

Here are some pics of the camera:

From what I see this is an IP camera. You need to check if the camera provides any form of link to a video feed in a form of HTTP or RTSP link. You need to check camera manual probably. When you have that you need to setup this link in Zoneminder to use this as a feed for a monitor.

Check my other thread for some screenshots as I have configured my camera:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25158

It is also an IP camera and I have a link to a RTSP feed, which when configured can be used in Zoneminder.

If your camera also has such a link to for example RTSP it should work fine, if not, then it will be probably very hard to make it work with Zoneminder.
