I am trying to setup Zoneminder with the following camera

Camera
SV3C SV-B01-1080P-POE

Server version unRAIDServer-6.2.4-x86_64
Container Zoneminder-1_29 - https://github.com/aptalca/docker-zoneminder/tree/v1.29
Followed instructions for setting up ffmpeg.


I can connect to the camera with Monitor Client. SV3c software and with Xeoma no issues.
Tracked down that rtsp://admin: works for streaming in VLC.

I can't get a picture in Zoneminder at all been trying for a few days.

One Amazon.com review states they got it working in Zoneminder no problem.

Settings used
Source Type: ffmpeg
Source Path: rtsp://admin:


Any help would be appreciated.

Did you figure this out? I'm having the exact same issue.

I figured it out. Source type = ffmpeg. source path = rtsp://<username>:<userpass>@<IP>/11

I used this site https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=HD+IPC to find it. Just used the generator for the "1080p" model.

After I saved the first time, and open the monitor it doesn't load until I close and reopen the monitor. Weird.

I did:
rtsp://<IP>:554/12

It's worth noting that I'm getting wicked smearing. Not sure what's that from.

EDIT:
Per this issue:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/issues/323

... I'm trying this:
rtsp://<IP>:554/12?tcp

I just added '?tcp' to the query string and things seem somewhat better.
Fingers crossed...

EDIT AGAIN:
Doesn't really help. Damn.

I used fixed IP and no authentication (cams can't reach Internet) so, rtsp://192.168.x.xx/11. Source Type set to Ffmpeg. Remote Method set to RTP/RTSP. Cam throttled to 5 fps at the cam. Maximum FPS set to 7 fps.

That particular cam is out of service at the moment pending relocation, but I had no smearing issues.
