I have connected my Doorbird to Zoneminder with following Settings:

General:
Source type:Remote

Source:
remote protocol: HTTP
Remote Method : simple
Remote Host Name : camera IP address
Remote Host Port : 80
Remote Host Port : /bha-api/video.cgi?http-user=USERNAME&http-password=PASSWORD
640 x 480

with these Settings I can't get Live View - but pictures are stored right.

Doorbird ist ONVIF Certified from FW 101 upward -Currently they are rolling out FW 100. When trying to setup the monitor with ONVIF Probe - it will be found - but when clicking on Next I get "Unable to probe Network Camera: 255
I already posted an Issue: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/issues/1664

For RTSP Caturing:

General:
Source type:FFmpeg

Source:
source path: rtsp://USER:PASSWORD@IP_OF_CAM:554/mpeg/media.amp
Remote Method : RTP/RTSP
1280 x 720 Pixel

I have read the API of Doorbird and it says, that only one video stream is possible. What happens when somebody rings the door, and I then want to view the stream on the app? Does it really stop the stream to zoneminder?

I just set this up with my doorbird and ZM installation (using the RTSP URL directly) and I was able to get 3 streams running simultaneously:
* my phone (using the doorbird app)
* my web browser (through zoneminder)
* VLC

So I was able to get three video streams from the doorbird at the same time all showing the same content. Maybe there is a limit to only 2 streams via the doorbird service?

One thing I should note is that the MPG stream from the doorbird does NOT include audio. Unclear if there is a way to include that?

Also, you don't need the :554 port specifier as that is the default RTSP port.
