Need Help with WAPA BL-720I - zm v1.24.2
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:58 am
I have a few WAPA BL-720I cameras with POE dongles. The POE dongles cause the cameras to have a static IP that's hardware set and video is indeed viewable with Windows using their software.
However, I have been unable to stream video using zoneminder, vlc, or mplayer.
The ports of interest according to a support e-mail are 80 (actually 8000) which is a statistics page with:
ClientStream:1 ClientCtrl:1 bits_rate:0.000000 frame:0.000000 rGain:200 bGain:205 switchircut:0
And ports 9000/9001 which appear to be the video streaming ports.
When configuring the camera in zone minder with http, the ip address, and port 9000 all I receive is a black screen.
When connecting over telnet, I receive the following login message:
MontaVista(R) Linux(R) Professional Edition 4.0.1 (0502020)
Linux/armv5tejl 2.6.10_mvl401_IPNC-1.0.6
as far as I can tell, the streaming software on the camera is located at
/opt/ipnc/encode_stream
A text file there states the program is actually "encode" and it's copyright Texas Instruments Inc 2007
the autorun.sh in the same directory executes this file as is without any parameters and I can not find any plane text config files.
I can provide a dump of the linux OS on the cameras or perform any other diagnostic probes as needed.
Any help that anybody can provide would be greatly appreciated
I am currently waiting for a response from customer support regarding more detailed information on the ports as well as possible activation signals that have to be sent to the ports.
The software provided by wapa does not state if the connection to the cameras is rstp mms or http and it does not list any port numbers.
EDIT:
It appears that I can stream some sort of data to a file using "netcat <ip> 9001 > somefile"
when attempting to play this file using mplayer, it identifies the file format as h263... which is odd because the camera is only supposed to support mpeg-4/h.264
I will play with this file a bit more an try to get a h.263 codec
