Getting camera to work

Hi guys,

I have a new camera and am unable to make it work in ZM,

I am trying to set it up on my server not located where the camera is.

Port forwarding is set as port 554 to point to to the IP which should work fine.

I can see the stream in onVif and it is working fine,

I cannot find any info on the path i need to use in ZM anywhere on google.

It is currently set as ffmpeg at 1280 x 720 using rtp/rtsp.

Although i did see this but it did not work for me: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Dahua

the camera was purchased on ebay in the uk: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251994306176? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I can only see the make as IP-camera and model as: IPC version 1.2.2.2273B10+


In Onvif it shows the stream as rtsp://192.168.1.168:80/ch0_0.264

I have tried this using external IP and it does not work in ZM, also tried these;

rtsp://MY-IP-ADDRESS:554/user=admin&password=admin&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?

rtsp://admin:admin@MY-IP-ADDRESS:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0


How can i find out what i need to be using ?

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks

Get it working with vlc first.
Once your verify the correct RTSP url using vlc, then try it in ZoneMinder

Following that, we need to see screenshots of your camera configuration in ZoneMinder, and we also need to see your zoneminder log. More is better.
