ZoneMinder Forums

Hello! I have a question for anyone who might have a FI9816P and use Zoneminder.

I'm currently using snapPicture2 and it is giving me 1-2fps maximum.
I have a DLINK camera also with nearly the same settings, and it is getting 15+ fps, though I've set that camera to cap at 7fps for the sake of performance.

I would like to do the same for the foscam, however I cannot seem to find any settings that will allow me to get the FI9816P to go above 1-2FPS, even though it is set to somewhere around 20 within the camera and within zoneminder I've set no limit.

Is there a way to tap into the videostream or videomain with this camera?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I tried to use this, however it did not work, so I'm still trying to figure out if I can get a videostream over to zoneminder, rather than the 1fps snappicture2 stream... any hints would be great.

click on your cam and test ..

Excellent advice, thank you. It seems only SnapPicture2 works, so I think it is time for me to sell this camera and replace it with one that I know works better with my Zoneminder setup (and is probably less expensive anyways).

When the amount of time spent googling goes too far out of scope, I tend to reach out to communities for assistance.
That being said, that page is of no use to me at the moment, even though I did read it when google presented it many weeks ago.

That page is for the FI9821P.
I use the FI9816P.
All of the settings they recommend for the FI9821P did not work for me, except for the snapPicture2.

Perhaps my ffmpeg is broken? or RTSP isn't working correctly?
