Hikvision DS-2CD2042WD-I

Hi !

I have tried to get the above mentioned camera working in my zone minder test setup.

I have used the latest zoneminder (i think 1.29) build in a debian based virtualbox. The camera has the firmware 5.3.3.

But every setup I tested didn't give me a live view of the camera. I already checked the wiki for the different Hikvision cams but it did not help me to success.

The live view with VLC media player works properly.

Has anybody this camera working inside zoneminder and can give me the right setup data ?

Thank you in advance.

I am running firmware 5.3.8

Code: Select all

Server = None
Source Type = ffmpeg
Analysis FPS > frame rate set in camera
Source Path = rtsp://user:password@cameraIP/Streaming/Channels/1
Remote Method = RTP/RTSP
Target colorspace = 24 bit
set Capture Width and Height to match.

The source path is probably the same as you used in VLC. But I have seen several paths used across the different versions. There was one suggestion use use a double URL, which did not break my Monitor.

Code: Select all

Source Path = rtsp://user:password@cameraIP/rtsp://cameraIP/Streaming/Channels/1

again the Streaming/Channels/1 should match the url you used with VLC.

Thank you, i have the camera working now with the path from VLC.

I don't know why it works today, because yesterday i tested the same settings.

But its ok now.
