ZoneMinder Forums

Hi Gents,

just finished to make the camera fully working in ZM... Was a bit of work but DONE.

As soon as I have time I will post here the details. Is anyone of you using SV3C PTZ cameras?

Cheers,
Sergio

I just got me a sv3c ptz camera and haven't been able to make it work in zoneminder. Can you give me some direction?
Thanks,
Glen

i just picked up one of these PTZ cameras from amazon.
how did you get the control working?

Any chance you couple tell us how you got your sv3c ptz camera working properly in zoneminder. I've got two hx series that I'm trying to incorporate into my zoneminder setup

Good morning.

I'm looking for a wi-fi camera supported by ZoneMinder
for a research project
(i need both video and PTZ API support).

I have seen this item provided by SV3C:

https://amzn.to/3tlN360

I'm going to buy this device, but before I need to know whether
ZoneMinder supports this kind of camera.

@sersasso:

Is the work you done in order to make ZM compatible with your SV3C
camera available somewhere (i.e. as open-source script or
tutorial ?)

In your hw configuration, was ZoneMinder able to support also the PTZ
(Pan/Tilt/Zoom) functionalities of the camera ? Or just the video
grabbing via RSTP ?

If PTZ is supported, how it works ? Have you used the Onvif.pl
PERL script for device control, or have you written a custom
PERL script that exploits the RESTful API used by the
configuration web interface of the camera producer ?

Is zoom supported ? Or only pan-tilt functionalities ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I have been using the SV3C cameras for several ZM installations. They do well and capture good video for the price. I even have one of their 8mpx cameras on a ZM system. Sees tags quite well at at least 50 ft without having the expand thiings.

I just purchased a SD8OE-5MP-HX. I get beautiful video out of it into ZM. I am trying to figure out how to send PTZ commands to it to control it. This camera will be used as a weather observation camera looking SW (the direction we get tornados from). I would like to be able to use the PTZ function in order to observe the sky better.

If anyone can give me some guidance I will much appreciate it.

Best Regards

I spent several days searching for this info online. This thread kept coming up for my SV3C's 1080p and 5pm PTZ cameras.

I eventually found the settings that worked, and maybe my settings will help someone.

Controlable: Checked
Control Type: Netcat ONVIF
Control Device: MainStreamProfileToken (default?)
Control IP: 10.0.13.67:8080 (replace with your own device IP)
Auto Stop Timeout: 1.00 (anything less caused PTZ to continue moving to it's stop points)

Anyways, hope it saves someone some time.

This worked for my SD8OE-5MP-HX. Does great, there are a few buttons I am going to see how to block, this is used by weather folks and sometimes people punch the wrong buttons.
I am very glad to see it working.

I too just purchased a similar cam; the SD8W-5mp-HX. It took a bit to discover the rtsp setting which is rtsp://user:pass@ip:554/1 and seems to stream ok. I can control it with the settings of:

Control Tryp: Netcat ONVIF
Control Device: MainStream (Is this needed??)
Control Address: user:pass@ip:8080

This camera also supports the rtmp setup; but I don't know what the path is. So my question is does someone know the rtmp settings for this? The iSpy documentation only has rtsp which I got from their site.

TIA
