ZoneMinder Forums

Hi, my language not is English, I'm sorry by this.
I'm new in this forum and it's the first time I'm use this software.

I have a problem, I have installed zoneminder in a clean version of ubuntu server 16.04 and it seems to work, but when I go to adding a camera doesn't work, the log file informs to me of several errors and I don't know how to solve it.
Can someone help to me?

I upload a picture of the log file


The version of ZM


when I'm trying see the camera


Thanks u and best regards

Try using ffmpeg as your source instead of remote.

What camera are you using? What install instructions did you use?

I used the instructions on the official website

http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... untu-16-04

Test the camera with VLC if you can, or some other rtsp viewer. It looks like the url should be without the brackets. Using VLC to test helps eliminate any problems there might be with your zoneminder install. It looks like it's getting a login message instead of a stream.

does not work in VLC and no work in ZM

Log ZM:


VLC:




The VLC is in windows, I can't in ubuntu because it is ubuntu server without graphic mode, sorry

Sure does work This is what you use in VLC even Windows version: http://212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg

With your DCS-2121 camera you have two options in Zoneminder

1- JPG Stills:
Source Type: Remote
Remote Host Name: username:password@cam_ip
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /image/jpeg.cgi?profileid=1

or

2- MJPEG:
Source Type: Remote
Remote Host Name: username:password@cam_ip
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /video/mjpg.cgi

Hello, at now VLC work fine, but I don't understand one thing.

In the VLC, if I put the ip address just doesn't work, example:
212.170.22.153

If I put the address of the website just like on the web doesn't work, example:
http://212.170.22.153:8080/view/viewer_ ... html?id=22



But if I put 212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg it's works fine.


why?
I'm sorry for my ignorance

It is probably because "212.170.22.153:8080/mjpg/video.mjpg" is the raw video stream, which is what Zoneminder wants,

and

"212.170.22.1453:8080/view/viewer/...?id=22" is serving up an HTML page which surrounds the raw video stream, and Zoneminder has no idea what to do with all that HTML -- it is not a web browser.

The test has already done, in the VLC works perfect but in Zoneminder I still have problems.
Can someone help to me?

Thanks u

Hi all, I think I have solved the problem, in part. I did not complete the zoneminder installation, I lacked to establish the path of the files.


But now I have another problem, I think it's something from the FSR, can someone help me?
