Bug in camera password handling
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 8:56 am
So I gave my cameras the user "admin" and the password "Argus5+++".
I can say, because I can't use that password anyway.
When entering this password in the ZM monitor setup, the camera could not be connected. So editing the monitor and opening the form ("Source tab") revealed:
Either a magic trick or URL encoding problems. Even when I manually entered the three '+++' instead of the spaces: no good.
So I have a different password now (and using rtmp:// instead of the smearing rtsp://), but I suspect someone might want to have a look at URL en/decoding in that part of ZM.
