I was able to connect beward n series

I do not know where to write about the connection. If the partition is not properly chosen, moderators, please move this topic. To write use Google translator.

Objective: connect beward n-series to zoneminder 1.25.0

To install zoneminder I took guidance on ubuntu server 12. 04
All cameras have a default setting besides user and password for the connection.

What should be added to ubuntu server:

1. nano /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 4294967296

sysctl -p

2. If you have an error in the logs:

Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor beward, expected 328, got 316

I traced this error back to /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Memory.pm with the cause sourcing at line 130 in the perl script.
To hopefully fix this issue, change the line at 130 from
our $arch = int(3.2*length(~0));
To the following (It's advisable to comment out the old line and leave it there).
our $arch = 32;

3. Options -> Images -> PATH_FFMPEG -> /usr/bin/ffmpeg

Now the fun part:

My camera default to 704x576 resolution
connection type rtsp , port 554

1. Source Type: ffmpeg
2. Source Path: rtsp://login:passwd@ip_cam:554/video.mp4
3. Capture Width (pixels) : 704
Capture Height (pixels): 576
