Remote Host Name Special Characters
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2015 8:19 am
Hi All,
Trying to use the Remote Method to connect to my Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-IS. (As a side note, the cameras are working fine in ffmpeg with modetect etc..., I want to use the Remote Method for the better display on the source column of ZM home screen)
I've read in the various Wiki's the format of the Remote Host Name field is: login:password@camIP
It appears ZM does not like special characters in the credential information. I'm trying to include a ! in the password
ZM prompts with "Host must be set to a valid ip address or hostname, do not include http://"
I've tried:
'login:password'
"login:password"
esc char / before the !
Take the ! out and ZM accepts the entry, but no image from the camera as the credentials are incorrect for the camera.
What say you mighty ZM community?
Thanks
