I have a pi setup following http://zoneminder.blogspot.co.uk/p/rasb ... amera.html and I can view the feed on an ipad app at rtsp://192.168.0.8:8554/unicast
Have followed the guide http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... ht=RTSP%20 but am unable to view the feed in ZoneMinder - can someone please advise which settings I require?

Please show screenshots of the General and Source tabs of your monitor configuration.

Semi-off-topic, Knnniggett: Does a Monitor Config window have enough DB/monitor context available to add a "Dump monitor config" link that opens a new window with the complete text config of the monitor for easy copying?

This seems to be the number one support question; perhaps that addition would be a good first target for me to shoot at.

If you simply want to create duplicate monitors on the same machine, create the first monitor, save it, select it on the web console (check box on right), then click "Clone Monitor".

If you instead want to create a new camera preset or import/export a monitor config to/from another machine, then you can use zmcamtool.pl from the command line. It will handle ptz control configs too. See zmcamtool.pl --help for more details.

Where you looking at this by chance?

This isn't the same thing you described, but it has been requested. It even has a $90 bounty on it.

Nope, none of those things.

I was looking for a better answer to "paste in screen shots of your monitor config".

I want "see the link at the bottom of the monitor window that says "Dump Monitor Config"? Click that. Now copy all the text in the window you got, and paste it in this forum thread."

Seems like that oughtn't be that hard to implement, assuming the relevant data is in-scope at that point in the code... which it seems like it would have to be; I just don't know the codebase.

Oh, I see. Check out monitor.php to see how the monitor object is set up:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... or.php#L54

Sounds like you will want to put that data into a new view (zoneminder lingo for a new popup window), which means you will need to create a new monitor object for the new view.

So my apologies for derailing the original issue here.

@robmarkcole we need to see how you have programmed the fields on the General and Source tabs of your monitor to know how to get things going. I'm running two raspi's configured as rtsp cameras in zoneminder and they work great.
