mpeg4 videostream from file or stdin to zoneminder?
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:58 pm
Hello,
I have mpeg4 videocamera (dlink DCS-950) which uses activex logon and thus zoneminder cannot connect to stream directly.
But there are some java utilities which allow me to receive stream from camera to file or stdin in mpeg4 format on my linux server.
How can I open this file or even stdin in zoneminder? Presumably I have to use ffmpeg, maybe write a script?
I have tried specifying local filesystem mpeg4 file as ffmpeg input sourcebut nothing happens.
Another way would be to use my script which receives the stream in stdin, for this I have no idea what to do in zoneminder.
Thank You for any ideas!
