Got the Sinocam IPCAM pretty cheap and I'm trying to get it to work with ZM 1.25.0. I got it working fairly easily with both iSpy and BlueIris demo.
Camera requires a login/password. Web interface seems to only work in IE as it requires activex. Set static DHCP so camera always comes up at same address.

Tried many combinations of settings, nothing works....the one I think should work...
FFMPG - rtsp://username:password@192.168.2.12:554/11 (this address worked in ispy on windows)

rtsp://username:password@192.168.2.12:554/ucast/11 (this appears to be the address used by blueiris in windows)

Got the following information from the BlueIris program, can I use this to build the proper URL? The camera also has "MAIN STREAM", "SUB STREAM" and "MOBILE STREAM" as choices in the web interface for different encoding streams, but only the one profile shows up.

Opening connection...
HTTP request...
OK
ONVIF GetCapabilities...
ONVIF detected!
requesting device information
Manufacturer: IPCAM
Model: IPCAM
FirmwareVersion: 2.0.24.63
has Media services: /onvif/Media
has RTP/RTSP, requesting profiles
first profile is profile0_0
requesting URI for profile profile0_0
RTSP URI: /ucast/11
has PTZ services
Presets:
Done

If I wanted to use one of the other profiles, would this be profile0_1, etc or would the URI /ucast/11 change? Any way to tell?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi

For cif resolution : rtsp://ipcam:554/12

dv

Yeah, got it working. I have the resolution set lower because I'm currently running them on wireless. Once I wire them, I will bump the resolution up to full.

General Tab:
Source Type: Ffmpeg
Function: Monitor (or other - not none)
Enabled: Checked

Source Tab:
Source Path: rtsp://user:password@ipaddress:554/ucast/11
Remote Method: RTP/Unicast
Target Colorspace: 24 bit colour
Capture Width: 704
Capture Height: 480

<the resolution settings must be right, but depend on your camera settings - I've found without them set properly strange things happen, or it just doesn't work at all - check your camera web interface to determine the resolution>
