Anyone had test VIVOTEK IP7131 and IP7138 cameras?
Here some specifications:

I could be wrong, but I think these are MPEG4 only cameras. If they are, then they are not currently supported by ZM.

hi,
I know it's an old post, but I just wanted to clarify that ip7138 works fine with zoneminder (other posts seem to imply it has problems)
I have just set up a system with 5 cameras
it does mpeg, but also jpeg

It does just jpeg snapshots no mjpeg?
What kind of frame rate are you getting out of it?
How long have you had the cameras running with ZM?

sorry, I meant mjpeg
the camera claims up to 30 fps and up to 800x600 resolution
watching the stream from videlan in 640x480 it looks like the framerate is correct (or anyway very high)

right now I have zoneminder running with 5 of this cameras, running mocord at 10fps 320x200. after some testing, the setup has been running non stop for the last 10 days. it also has two other analog cameras captured with a PV-143

Can someone tell me the camera path for the MJPEG stream ?

trying to set up a Vivotek 7139

thanks !

http://<ip>/video.mjpg but you first need to go to "Configuration -> Audio and video" and set stream1 (or stream2) to mode "JPEG." If you use stream2, use "video2.mjpg" in the URL instead.

I used this at first, but found just grabbing the still image was more reliable. I'm using one 7138 and several 7131's, but the 7131 doesn't support MJPEG so I had to grab the individual image for those anyway.

Hi Sorry Im new to ZoneMinder but need to get 6 cameras working on this software asap.

Vivitek 7131

Can you please help me with the all settings etc I must use for it to work.

I need live monitoring of all 6 Cameras on the same screen

v1.22.3

Thanks in advance.

Best thing is to read though the Wiki which will certainly guide you on your way, also documentation can be downloaded and read at your leisure..

Good luck,

TrOjAn

Only jpeg.
Path: /cgi-bin/video.jpg

If you want MPEG4 you must use vloopback and vpipi (look at wiki), or wait 1.24 zm support MPEG4

Vivotek site has a lot of usesfull info.

Hi

I did the default setup of ZM

Added monitor with settings as follows.

Remote Host Name : root:test@192.168.1.159
Remote Host Path : /cgi-bin/video.jpg

But still nothing when I click on the name of the camera.

What must i do with vloopback. I dont have much time to get the thing working on just display.

Please help.

Kind Regards.

PS : Image display on the url http://root:test@192.168.1.159/cgi-bin/video.jpg[/img]

Willem, try first only jpeg settins, as you currently have (cgi-bin/video).
At the vivotek cam control, mute audio, and for the first tests, set the size as 320 x 240, and do the same at ZM.
Read the FAQ at the wiki for shared memory issues.

I've changed the settings as asked but still does not work.

Still nothing if I view the camera

/var/log/messages gives
But the username and password is correct
zms[32007]: ERR [Unable to authenticate user]


Will the shared memory be a problem on one PC running Fedora 9 and one camera.

shared memory is ok but still not working.

If you turn debug on, for process _zmc and set it at about 3, You should have errors in the debug logs that tell you why.
