PTZ and Where to run Wireshark

Post by dsdysf »

Hello,

I've been following a few threads here and trying to get a PTZ camera (cheap one from Amazon) to work. I've been able to get the camera to move using ONVIF Device Manager, the camera's web interface, and postman. I've run Wireshark on my local PC and don't see anything from the zoneminder page to the camera when I click on the controls. I installed Wireshark on Debian where I run zoneminder and it's the same thing, I don't see any commands going to the camera.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction when it comes to Wireshark and where exactly I need to run it to see the PTZ command send and receive so I can figure out what is going on?

Thanks for your time and help.

Get one of those little Netgear switches that supports port mirroring. Mirror the port to the PTZ and plug PC in there.
