[SOLVED] GW security cam GW5078IP

[ipcam303]

Hi,
I'm running mint and the camera is GW5078IP. It is visible in VLC under a network capture and using RTSP.
_rtsp://192.168.0.123:554/h264?username=*******&password=******. I've tried to add it as a monitor in ZM but no luck.I'm matching the camera resolution with data taken from VLC. This camera is not listed as compatible. Has anyone else been able to make it work?
Thanks,
Gordon

Use ffmpeg Source Type and the same Source Path you used to access VLC.

rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.123:554/h264 (you may not need the :554 as it is the known port for rtsp)

You also need to get the resolution right. Check VLC Tools - Media Information - Codec (tab) and use the Display Resolution or fractions thereof. For Example 1280x720 or 640x360 or 320x180

Make sure you set your PATH_ZMS to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms

rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.123:554/h264
resolution=2560x1440
Zoneminder Options>>Paths>>PATH ZMS = /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms
