arducam ov5647 on ver 1.37.61

Post by dlparker46 »

I've done a google search and searched the forum but have not found any references to setting up the arducam ov5647.

The camera is working, but I am unable to get it working in zoneminder. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Dave, you know it's working - in a web page, maybe?
Try setting source type to Web Page and the address to whatever it is...otherwise need some details.

You will need either an MJPEG or a RTSP stream. Possibly JPEG images could be used, at the expense of frame rate. Ideally you will have an H264 RTSP stream.

See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths

A quick search online for arducam and rtsp comes up with the arducam forums. You are
going to want to search there instead of ZM, since no one here is an expert in arducam.


Try these links:
https://forum.arducam.com/t/how-to-get- ... era/3986/2
https://docs.arducam.com/UVC-Camera/App ... GStreamer/
https://forum.arducam.com/t/using-imx51 ... cam/5049/3

One note: the first link that describes needing an RTSP server, can be done with ffmpeg possibly, but I think that functionality will be in ZM 1.37. It's still in beta though, from what I've read. You can try searching these forums for RTSP server, or use python or whatnot.

Maybe this link will help:

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
