Hello,

After much research and trial and error, I was finally able to get my Cisco CIVS-IPC-3520 camera to stream to ZM. I wanted to share with you the settings:

I'm streaming H.264 from the camera. I also set the camera to ONVIF mode (under basic network settings) and turn off SessionID.

Source Type = ffmpeg
Maximum FPS = <leave blank>
Alarm Maximum FPS = <leave blank>

Source Path = rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip address>/StreamingSetting?version=1.0&action=getRTSPStream&ChannelID=1&ChannelName=Channel1

for channel 2, it's similar:

Source Path = rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip address>/StreamingSetting?version=1.0&action=getRTSPStream&ChannelID=2&ChannelName=Channel2


enjoy!

Note: This may work with other Cisco cameras such as the 4500.

I should also add that you can stream to VLC using the same RTSP string.

Go to File -> Open Network -> "rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip address>/StreamingSetting?version=1.0&action=getRTSPStream&ChannelID=1&ChannelName=Channel1"

the username and password were created in the camera's web gui.
