Cisco PVC2300 Cisco WVC2300

[mrme]

I have these working on CentOS 5.

Upgrade to latest firmware. At this time it is 1.01. 1.0 Will not work right for some reason.

Firmware/Info PVC2300--> http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9945/index.html

Firmware/Info WVC2300-->http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9947/index.html

I got mine from Newegg.com

Make sure you get the proper firmware for the proper device. They have different .bins

I set up a user on the camera username zm and password zm.

When i set a monitor in zoneminder I used the following

Source=remote
Maximum FPS=30
Alarm Maximum FPS=30

Remote protocal=HTTP
Remote Method=Simple
Remote Host Name=zm:zm@{your ip addy of the camera}
Remote Host Port=80
Remote Host Path=/img/video.mjpeg
Remote Image Colours=24 bit
Capture Width=640 (Same as in camera setup)
Capture Height=480 (Same as in camera setup)

Everything else i left default. Now, i am still a newbie at zoneminder, so my FPS and such might be out of wack, but the cameras work in zoneminder great.

I will monitor this post, so reply if i can help in any way.

Good luck!!

Hi mrme

I just want to ask you a question, are your very happy to buy this camera PV2300, because I really want to get it also but I dont know if it's a good choice and also if it's compatible with Zoneminder, So could you give me more information because at the moment I want to get it and buy know but I prefer to ask you a question before thank you .

I want this camera because I work since 4 years with Asterisk and I want to try to connect Zoneminder with asterisk and openfire so for that I need to have a camera whit a microphone to get the sound , so do you think it's a good choice this camera for me thank you.

PS: sorry for my english I'm french and I don"t speak and write very weel englsih sorry (

Sorry it took so long to reply.

I love these cams. They are very clear. Zoneminder is a good script and well worth the time. They work great with zoneminder.

These cams to have jacks for audio input and output. I do not use the audio, but i have heard good things about it.

Dont worry about your English, i am from the deep south of USA, and yours is better that most people i deal with down here!!

Let me know if there is any other way i can help

Thank a lot to answer my question , and sorry also because I'm also long to reply .

I just want to ask you again some question if you are agree ???

I'm professionnal of asterisk but not on the Zoneminder and I really want to try to connecte my asterisk and zoneminder but unfortunatly is't more hard as I was thinking

Todays my zoneminder is running but I cannot see any camera on the screen : I'll explain to you more and I hope you can help me little bit thank you.

I have 2 caméra WVC2300 and WVC210 and this camera work if I'm using the link http access direct by the server WEB inside on the camera so this is the link I use to see directly on the firefox

http://user:password@IP_Server/img/video.mjpeg this is for both of the camera WVC210 ans also WVC2300 and is working ok!

so that is normal for the moment ok and I prefer to configure my camera WVC2300 on RTSP protocol to using on zoneminder .
So I catch the signal video directly on VLC I only do that just to be sure the RTSP is working and It's ok I can see direct on VLC with the WVC2300 but the RTSP for the WVC210 it is not working because I didn't find the right path beacause is not the same as below

rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/img/video.MPEG-4%20SP this work on VLC for WVC2300 but not with WVC210.

OK let talk now onn my zoneminder problem

so this is the problem I put both of the camera on zoneminder and I can't see any flux video on the creen, I tried both of the config one with HTTP and the other one with RTSP and same problem no video???? Zoneminder writting running I can stop and start without problem so everything looks like correct but can not find the video flux on both camera

this is the configuration on my 2 camera
