Can't see FOSCAM FI9831P streaming in ZoneMinder

[amberodrig]

Hello,
I've been working on setting up ZoneMinder to stream video from a FOSCAM FI9831P camera. I've successfully tested the camera with VLC using the following URL:
rtsp://username:password@IPADDRESS:88/videoMain.

However, I haven't been able to get this configuration to work in ZoneMinder.

Code: Select all

Source Type: Remote 
Remote Protocol: RTSP 
Remote Method: RTP/Unicast 
Remote Host Name: IPADDRESS 
Remote Host Port: 88 Remote Host 
Path: /videoMain 
Target Colorspace: 32 bits 
Capture Width: 1280 
Capture Height: 720

I always get the same errors:

Code: Select all

Since I'm able to use VLC successfully, it shouldn't be a connection issue with the camera itself. I'm starting to think the problem might be a faulty Apache configuration, but I just can't figure out what it is!

Check the user name and password are correct, and just in case -- change the password temporarily to have no "controversial" characters that may cause problems, e.g. $ % * ... try to stick to upper/lower case and numbers. If that makes it work, the password has something that is upsetting things through ZM ?
