flv stream into Zoneminder ?

[zechs]

Hello,

I just bought a Maginon IPC-25 HDC camera. I was able to connect zoneminder to it without much trouble using this stream:
http://user@password:192.168.0.50/videostream.cgi

The problem with this stream is that the resolution is only 640x480px while the camera is capturing 1280x720px frames.
To get full resolution frames, I would have to get the following stream:
http://user@password:192.168.0.50/videostream.flv

But zoneminder is not accepting it. Here are the logs:

Code: Select all

Is there any way to get this flv stream into zoneminder ?

Thanks !

videostream.asf?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]&resolution=32&rate=0

I found this @ https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Maginon

Try it with VLC, check the reported resolution and use those settings in Zoneminder with source type ffmpeg

Sorry I should have mentioned that I already tried the "asf" thing., but I don"t get the full resolution.
I did the test again and here is what I get in VLC.
If I set the resolution parameter to 32, I get 640x480.
If I set the resolution parameter to 64 or any other value (I tested a few), I get a weird image size: 320x480.
And VLC only displays a frozen image in all cases.

Anyway, I still put the url in ZoneMinder as a ffmpeg source like you said. it works but with low resolution and poor frame rate (8 fps), exactly like with videostream.cgi

It lead me to do more tests with ffmpeg as source. I gave zoneminder the "flv" url. Now it doesn't complain about the "flv" type anymore, but it gives me the following log:

Code: Select all

What is the capture daemon? Is it ffmpeg in this case ?

Someone got to decode the streamwith just ffmpeg. Which makes me think that zoneminder should probably be able to handle it.
