AXIS M1011 and ZoneMinder 1.24

Post by Grunt »

Wondering if anyone has managed to get this camera working with ZoneMinder.

Tried manually setting it up for RTSP and the Presets (great feature), but still have the source "RED" within the monitor.

I have confirmed that the RTSP is working and can view it on an machine within my network (Apple based).

One combination that I have tried:

General =
Remote
Modect

Source=
RTSP
RTP/RTSP
Host Port = 554
Host Path = /axis-media/media.amp (also tried it without the media.amp and with media.3gp)
Width = 640
Height = 480

Running on Ubuntu 11.4 Desktop.

Any advise would be gratefully received.

FYI - I have tried the various AXIS setting mentioned within the ZoneMinder Wiki, Google Searched, which resulted in an example by screenshot of both AXIS and ZM setting for another AXIS camera, which at the least confirmed that my camera was configured correctly.

Using RealPlayer, I can view the RTSP Stream and using Safari can view the Server Pushed as well.

So really at a lose, tried RTSP and HTTP but can't get the Source to change from RED within the ZM Control Console..

Works for me. I have H.264 picked as the default profile on the web interface for the M1011 somewhere. I didn't use a preset, these settings on the monitor in ZoneMinder seem pertinent, worked for me:

Code: Select all

source type: ffmpeg

source path: rtsp://root:password@HOSTNAME:554/axis-media/media.amp
capture width: 640
capture height: 480
I'm on Ubuntu Oneiric with the built-in ZM 1.24.4 and ffmpeg packages. The mjpeg also worked without any hitches I can recall.

If you're using shared memory the default settings are too low to display 640*480 in 24 bit color. Increasing to 150 - 200% should cure this or get the camera working at 320*240 first to confirm your other settings then make the changes.

Thank you so much for your help and quick response.

Yes - using shared memory, dropped RES to 320x240 = HTTP and RTSP working (RTSP does not show a live feed, when viewing the monitor).

Not truly worried about RTSP, HTTP works fine, event triggers working too..

Again thanks for you help Guys.

To get the higher resolutions edit /etc/sysctl.conf shmall and shmmax values by double and keep increasing until all works. Glad you got it working.
