IP Camera Database
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:15 pm
There isn't, as far as I could find, a decent searchable database for IP camera settings on the web.
The ZM wiki is as good as it gets, but isn't laid out in a particularly friendly manner as far as re-using that info goes. Re-using for what? Possible inclusion into future Zoneminders Presets db if the devs want it, or possibly un-thought-of other ideas.
So I've written a wee bit of php over at http://digdilem.org/cameras and would welcome suggestions and additions. It's not totally finished - and not particularly pretty, but it does the job. Some basic ideas about getting mac codes eventually which could be used for lan-based camera probing too. Oh, and a basic automatic demo mode for showing how cameras should be set up in ZM.
Also - the entire DB can be exported as CSV for inclusion as whatever.
Note this isn't meant to replace ZM's wiki and I urge people to continue adding to that. My motives are simply to help people get cameras working with ZM or even other software. Due to manufacturers, it's not always as easy as it could be, so I hope this helps.
