Cannot find out the source for Foscam FI9805W

Dear ZoneMinder users,

I have Foscam FI9805W IP camera and I am trying to set it up with ZoneMinder. I have followed the instructions on wiki page, but after I have defined the source:

Code: Select all

rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip>:88/videoMain
I see in the log:

Code: Select all

'zma -m 3' exited abnormally, exit status 255
and when I run ffmpeg for the same URL I get error:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f flv rtsp://...:88/videoMain
... No such file or directory
I wonder if I am using the correct port, as port 88 is listed as default HTTP port in camera settings however when I try to connect with browser to http://...:88/ it says that connection is reset. Nevertheless when connecting via HTTPs, I can login-in to camera Web UI and see the correct camera output (provided that one has plugin installed).

After I have upgraded current Debian (v1.25.0-4) with recompiled ZoneMiner from master branch (v1.26.5-1) it magically started to work. There is still an issue with RTSP streaming also mentioned in wiki and on this forum here and there: periodically camera sends a damaged frame, which causes an alert in ZoneMinder:

Trying to workaround...
