I have a cheap ONVIF camera, that I can't get working in Zoneminder...need to know how to configure.

I have a software package that scans cams and can create functioning URL address. (AnyCam) Camera works here with this URL: http://admin:password@192.168.10.28:889 ... ce_service

How do I enter this information in Zoneminder to make it work? Thanks.

Copy/paste doesn't work?

Nope; Says camera not capturing, for whatever that's worth.

Oh, one of those...try

http://admin:password@192.168.10.28:8899/onvif1

Or maybe just

http://admin:password@192.168.10.28/onvif1

Have you checked the iSpy list?

test it in VLC / ffmpeg first from terminal. It's faster than trying paths in ZM. See below sig.

Are you sure it isn't RTSP? When you try that URL with ffmpeg post the terminal output here. It will indicate
what is going wrong.

I was having trouble adding an onvif that was detected. it had broken image icon. I went to cam webpage and logged in and it came up on zm.

OK guys, sorry for the late reply, but just got it to work finally. After some medical issues with my back, THANKS FOR THE LIST FROM iSPY...wasn't aware of the database.

Found model of the camera is ctronics CTIPC-123C720PW Source: rtsp://admin:62894552@192.168.10.28:554/user=admin&password=**&channel=1&stream=1.sdp

** = missing password.

PS. Is there a way to do any cameras without exposing the passwords??

Really seems stupid design.

At least some have a web page where you can set all sorts of stuff. Just log in with a browser to see.
