I have a Foscam FI9804P. When I run the following command from the terminal they work fine:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://user:pass192.168.0.189:88/videoMain -r 30 -vcodec copy -an -t 10 test44.mp4
or within VLC.

Settings in ZM are as follows:
General:Sourcetype=FFMPEG
Source:Source Path =rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.189:88/videoMain
Source:Remote Method=RTP/RTSP
Source: Target =32 bit
Source: Capture 1280x720

I get the following error in the ZM log:
Unable to open input rtsp://user:pass@192.168.0.189/videoMain due to: Operation now in progress

libvlc throws file errors.

Thanks,

Are you using your admin user and password? If not do so.

Try 1280x640 resolution

What version of Linux and ZM (assumed 1.28.x)

It was the resolution. Changing Capture height to 640 did the trick. Worked with both admin password and operator password.
Yes I am using 1.28.x on ubuntu 14
Thanks!!!

Ok i'm in the same boat, i've googled and read and tried pretty much everything, i can not get this camera to run in ZM, but i have 1.25 as i'm running it on a Rpi 2B raspbian wheezy which is the latest version available via apt-get.

Is it just that it wont work on 1.25 or does anyone have any ideas for me to try?
