Hello.

Got some oem, chinese fullhd onvif ip camera and cant configure it to work with zoneminder.
Cant insert url for sellers webpage :(

Only working link for video stream i can find looks like that:

rtsp://x.x.x.x:554/snl/live/1/1/Ux/sido=-Ux/sido=
(h264 stream)

VLC media player wont open it, only apple quicktime.

Any ideas on how to make it work with zoneminder?

Ok, thanks for help :P

There is some progress. Only setup that "almost" works looks like that:

Stream from camera configured at 640x360 resolution, H264.

Zoneminder monitor:
source type: ffmpeg
source path: rtsp://x.x.x.x:554/snl/live/1/1/Ux/sido=-Ux/sido=

Result is almost exactly like in this post:

So, its useless.

When i setup stream at 1920x1080 only thing i get is system log spammed with "Got unexpected memory map file size".

So to sum it up:
- is Zoneminder capable to work correctly with high resolutions and modern onvif cameras ?
- is Zoneminder still in development (dont see any updates from many months), or is it discontinued ?

I am starting to search for dedicated NVR or NAS couse it looks like waste of time.

Open the file “/etc/sysctl.conf”, and paste these lines at the bottom of the file, then reboot.
kernel.shmall = 167772160
kernel.shmmax = 167772160
