Any links on this?
Thanks.

Here is the Wiki How-To I have done up: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_setup_MPEG-4_streaming_with_RTSP_monitor_from_a_Vivotek_IP8332_camera And here is a link to the manual http://www.vivotek.com/downloadfiles/downloads/usermanuals/ip8330manual.pdf The manual is fantastic!

Thanks junior I have it all sorted out.

Basically, RTFM was the solution. Not the paper one that came with but the PDF user Manual.

I will post later on with a link to the manual and all that I found....

Thanks.

I get a 404 on both of those URLs unfortunately.

I wonder is if anyone on these forums have got a Vivotek camera working. I am sure they would share some similarities.

So I have jpeg working with a little digging looking at the source of the web page. http://www.dward.name/pics/IP8332.png I can get the video feed on the web interface working. Its a mov stream using the Quicktime browser plugin. Using the Firefox Addon, Downloader Helper, its says there is a stream...

Hi,

Yes I have it, but I do not have it working yet at all.

I am new to ZoneMinder too.

I cranked up ZMLarch in a VM after installing the camera on the network.
That's as far as I got. Using the ZM web interface I can't work out how to add a Network camera exactly.

I will continue on....

Oh I have ordered this:

AU$248 + AU$18 postage.

Fingers crossed!!!

So I would say you should be ok with Vivotek but start with jpeg first to get zm setup corectly then try rtsp(or video codec) mode.

This review mentions RTSP. So this is a good sign I am thinking..

I am thinking I will go the IP8332 to start with. Only AU$248, so if it is no good, I haven't lost as much. It still does 1280x800 and IP66 rated housing.

I will definitely report back.

The Vivotek's I listed do not seem to have a JPEG steam, they all have several video streams

MPEG-4 streaming over UDP, TCP, HTTP or HTTPS
MPEG-4 multicast streaming
MJPEG streaming over HTTP or HTTPS

I have no idea if this is ZM friendly or not

Cool thanks. It seems most of what I have looked at offer an MJPEG and MPEG4 stream (some H.264). It sounds like that is a good key to possible success. They all offered it over HTTP and HTTPS. Is that a good baseline protocol ZM can work with? PS. I have pledged. I love Xmarks. Looks like they will...

Yes I have seen those errors before migrating web sites.

I thought I only got warnings not errors, thus my conclusion it could be the cause of some issues.

I guess a better question is....what does one have to look for or ask specifically about a camera to see if it is Linux/Zoneminder compatible?
ie a particular way it streams the content, a certain protocol etc?
