Streaming from logitech quickcam
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:52 am
I have a logitech quickcam set up on my linux desktop and zoneminder set up on a separate machine. I want to stream rtsp from the desktop to the zm machine.
I'm able to stream using the following command:
I've tried using mencoder and ffmpeg and just can't get a usable stream out of either of those.
I can pick that stream up on a different machine using vlc with this address:
So my question is, how do I get that stream in to zoneminder? I've tried different variations of this setup:
The 58.17 address is the address of my desktop.
The source comes up green in the zm console but I can't get an image when I try to view the stream inside zoneminder.
I suspect it's a format thing.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
