I'm running ZM v1.30.0 with 3 IP cameras. (All different models)
On one of the cameras I have an issue where every 1 to 2 weeks the picture goes blue.
(The camera works if I connect to it via a browser)
To get it working again on ZM I just have to change any of the settings for the camera on ZM and then change back to the original setting and it start working.
Server: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-42-generic i686)
Camera:
Wansview 1080P WiFi W2 (Black)
System Firmware 00.01.01.0042
ZM Settings:
Source Type: ffmpeg
Source Path: rtsp://admin:xxxxxxxr@192.168.1.154/live/ch0
Remote method: RTP/RTSP
32 bit colour
640x480
Orientation: Normal
Deinterlacing: Disabled
When it stops working if I change source server to local, save, and then change it back to ffmpeg and save, it works again for 1-2 weeks. Then same issue.
Not sure where to start looking at how to fix this? Any ideas? Could be it a problem with my settings?
Update: Actually see my Ubuntu version is quite old. Will upgrade and see if there are any improvements.
Intermittent blue screen with camera
Re: Intermittent blue screen with camera
By default RTSP uses UDP. Try to force TCP.
add ?tcp to the end of your source string
Source Path: rtsp://admin:xxxxxxxr@192.168.1.154/live/ch0?tcp
UDP is connectionless and can sometimes go flaky. TCP acknowledges reciept of data and if it thinks something, a packet, is missing it will ask the sender to send it again.
