Hello,

I'm new at ZoneMinder and would like to report positive installation with Foscam F41 & C2M cameras.

Both cameras working out of the box with following settings:
Source type: Ffmpeg
Source Path: rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip>:88/videoMain (or rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip>:88/videoSub)
Method: TCP or UDP (both working identical for me)
Target colorspace: 24 or 32
Resolution to match the cam settings

Only negative point with those cams, you need to install the windows exe to setup the cam fully. (works well in a virtual machine)

Something not working as expected:
I checked 'Whether to store the audio stream when saving an event.'
but can't hear any audio.
can't also find any audio file on disk

did I overlook something to get that?
audio is present when streaming in VLC or Foscam app.

I think it's a separate source on those and would go in SourceSecondPath.

Yes! Thx!

Looks like I have to grab rtsp://<user>:<password>@<ip>:88/audio
as described here https://www.foscam.com/faqs/view.html?id=81

I'm running now zm 1.34.23 from Debian 11 repo, I can't find SourceSecondPath, I guess that's coming with 1.36

Can I just add your repo and apt update? or there is some special steps to follow in order to not loose the existing settings and data?

1.36 was 2021.

Updates usually fine and don’t lose the settings in the database as a rule.
