This is the cam: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Security ... 72225.html

I've tried all kinds of settings in zoneminder but not getting any further than a blue ZM screen.

This setting works in VLC: However if I use that, or one of the following derivates (with Ffmpeg as the source type and inspired by viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22573&p=85759&hili ... th#p85759):
• rtsp://192.168.1.249:554/
• rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.249:554/
• rtsp://user:password@192.168.1.249:554/udp/0.sdp

I get the error messages as shown below.

Anyone any idea how I have to translate the VLC setting to ZM settings?

Thanks a bunch.

It works for me

Well......used this as sourcetype:

• rtsp://192.168.1.249:554/user=user_password=password_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?tcp

 

Result:

Also tried with the undercores and ?real_stream at the end. Same result.

Anyone any idea?

ip 192.168.1.249 does not respond
Packet loss

Well...what can I say. My son came home and fixed it in 5 minutes.

• SourceType: Remote
  Remote protocol: RTSP
  Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
  Remote Hostname: ip address
  Remote Host Port: 554
  Remote Host Path: user=user&password=password&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?real_stream

Of cource, I tried Remote before with different other settings. The trick was the 'stream......' suffix on the path. I found that later when I was trying all the ffmpeg settings everyone seemed to be using.

Anyway, fixed, I'm happy.

Thanks anyway.
