I bought a Loftek Sentinel D2 which I thought should work the same as the supported D1.

I followed this guide here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... leshooting

But I can't get the image to appear in Zoneminder nor can I get the source to go from red to green.

Does anyone know of a work around? Thank you!

I've owned both and used both with Zoneminder. The only difference between a D1 and D2 is the D2 has a ring of infrared LED's around the dome for night vision, which doesn't really work. They have the same firmware and are programmed the same.

For starters, please post your monitor settings. Screenshots are preferred.

Did you buy that camera recently? Ever since my fourth Sentinel died earlier this spring, I noticed I could no longer find them for sale online. I ended up buying an Apexiss J901, which is the same as a D1.

Thanks for your response knnniggett

I bought my D2 a few months ago before they went extinct from Amazon

Here is a few pictures of my settings:

I apologize since I am a new user I can't post multiple images or offsite urls.

If you are leaving in the curly brackets as you show, then that is the problem.

The way to test if you've entered everything in correctly is to manually build the URL in a text editor and then paste that url into your web browser: If you see video then you did it right. If you do not see video then you did not do it right.

Note I never tested any of my cameras without a password. I highly recommend you set a password, even if it is trivial.

I didn't know the curly brackets were suppose to be omitted. Thank you so much for your help, its working great!
