Launch IP camera not working over RTSP

Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2011 12:12 pm

Hi all,

I am using ZM 1.24.2 on a Turnkey LAMP (Ubuntu 10.04) box and trying unsuccessfully to configure it for a Launch LC-5201A3-SAR IP camera, which should stream RTSP at a resolution of 704 x 576, mjpeg or h.264 (tried both).

ZM works well otherwise with USB cameras.

i am using the following settings for the source:
Remote Protocol RTSP
Remote Method RTP/RTSP
Remote Host Name 192.168.0.19
Remote Host Port 554
Remote Host Path /0/1:1/sub
Remote Image Colours 24bit
Capture Width (pixels) 704
Capture Height (pixels) 576

which are taken from the camera's user manual that states:
The RTSP address is: rtsp:// 192.168.1.19:554/0/1:1/main, formed as below:
192.168.1.19: IP address of the IP device
554: RTSP listen port
0: Default port, cannot be changed
1:1: Common User name & password,
Please refer to:1.3.3.1.3 User Management
main: Main streaming,
In summary, the RTSP streaming is for main streaming of the
rtsp: //192.168.1.19:554/0/1:1/main. If you want to view sub streaming or third
streaming RTSP, please follow the below format to visit.
Sub streaming: rtsp: //192.168.1.19:554/0/1:1/sub
The third streaming: rtsp: //192.168.1.19:554/0/1:1/2sub
When applying all settings the link colour in the console turns green with record enabled and after a time turns red. Of course ZM does not stream or record anything.

the following can be found in zm_debug.log.*

as far as I can see ZM starts talking to the camera and then something goes terribly wrong and it all stops. can anyone enlighten me on what the problem may be? any ideas?

of course, camera streams great to VLC or Totem.

happy to help with more info.

thanks,

Dan

You don't mention that you've amended the shared memory as per the faq on the wiki.

That will need to be done before any pics > 320x240 will work.

no worries, I have two other cameras working perfectly at 640x480 resolution.

I have the feeling that it's something about the streaming protocol.

Ok - and I might be hanging onto this point a little too hard - but the shared mem settings you've done, and those in the wiki for 64x480 may not be sufficient for a megapixel cam

These are what I use and these do work for an Axis 1280x1024

kernel.shmall = 234217728
kernel.shmmax = 234217728

I just modified sysctl.conf to your values and I get the same error.

Ok. If you restarted after changing sysctl to those then it's not that.

Hopefully someone else will have another idea that's more productive.

Hi all.

I have the same problem with the rtsp protocol. In my case I've founded a kind of bug or malfunction in the secuence of rtsp messages.

In my case this is the failure:

[Sending RTSP message: SETUP rtsp://192.168.101.141:554/live/rtsp://192.168.101.141/live:video:2 RTSP/1.0
Transport: RTP/AVP/TCP;unicast
User-Agent: ZoneMinder/1.24.2
CSeq: 2

]
Where the rtsp query has a malformed URL "rtsp://192.168.101.141:554/live/rtsp://192.168.101.141/live:video:2".

I Guess the bug, in version 1.24.2 is located in the file zm_rtsp.cpp, at line 340, where the "trackUrl" is concatenated twice.

Here is de code from zm_rtsp.cpp (1.24.2)

333 if ( mFormatContext->nb_streams >= 1 )
334 {
335 for ( int i = 0; i < mFormatContext->nb_streams; i++ )
336 {
337 SessionDescriptor::MediaDescriptor *mediaDesc = sessDesc->getStream( i );
338 if ( mFormatContext->streams->codec->codec_type == CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO )
339 {
340 trackUrl += "/"+mediaDesc->getControlUrl();
341 Debug( 1, "trackUrl '%s'", trackUrl.c_str() );
342 rtpClock = mediaDesc->getClock();
343 // Hackery pokery
344 //rtpClock = mFormatContext->streams->codec->sample_rate;
345 break;
346 }
347 }
348 }

After this code, the zoneminder send a rtsp-message "play" attaching a malformed URL, so nobody attends this request and after a while the cam rtsp server delivers to zoneminder a timeout message, closing the connection.


I've tried to recompile the project with some modifications, but the zoneminder doesn't work if I just replace old binaries by new ones.

I'm using ubuntu 10.04LTS and the zoneminder provided (1.24.2-2build3) but I'm trying to rebuild the sources (1.24.2) from zoneminder website and just replace the binaries. I'm pretty sure here is the main problem between versions.

I'll appreciate your help.

regards!!
