Hi all,
I have the following cameras from a company called DAHUA IPC - HFW2100P
IPC - DBW665P-IR0-0360B
They are the kind that need activeX controls to be installed to view their interfaces over http. Yes I know, zoneminder does not support such devices but I bought them before I had heard about zoneminder. They do support realtime streaming. However, I cannot figure out what to choose under the source tab. For instance, once I have chosen remote and rtsp, do I choose rtsp over http etc.? The url format for the real time stream is as follows.
"rtsp://username:password@ip:port/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0"
Can zoneminder handle such a streaming url? There is no file per se like I have seen with other rtsp URLS on this forum. I believe the stream is h264. I can view it with VLC Media player.
I am using zoneminder 1.2.5.0 which I have installed on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I installed it from the package repository by doing apt-get install zoneminder.
