SV3C B01POE-3MPL-A settings?

Post by JimS »

Picked up this camera to get started with zoneminder. Found the wiki page for that brand. After a bunch of experimentation the only setting I could find that works is listed as for model SV-B06POE-1080P-A (from the wiki)

Server: None
Source Type: Ffmpeg
Analysis FPS, Maximum FPS, Alarm Maximum FPS all blank.
Source Path: rtsp://<username>:<password>@x.x.x.x:554/stream0 where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your camera
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Target colorspace: 24 bit color
Capture width: 1920
Capture height: 1080

And after fiddling around with it some more I can't even get that to work. I get repeated
Unable to open input rtsp://192.168.15.240/554:stream0 due to: Server returned 404 Not Found
errors in the logs. Tried with and without user:password.

I tried VLC and it gets both streams with no issues (AFAIK)
rtsp://192.168.15.240:554/stream0
gives me a 2304 x 1280 stream

rtsp://192.168.15.240:554/stream1
gives me a 640 x 480 stream

But they don't work in zoneminder.

I was able to get a web cam hooked to a raspberry pi board running motion software connected to zoneminder and that seems to be working ok.

Running zm 1.34

After some more mucking around this is working. Just a combination of not knowing what form to put the request in and some inadvertent switching of / and : in the end of the string.

It works without the password:
rtsp://192.168.15.240:554/stream0
and similarly for stream1

TCP
24 bit color (32 bit may work I just got tired of messing with it)

I also reduced the frame rate since it defaults in the camera settings to 25 (and whenever you change any other video parameters)
Camera was set initially to H265 and I initially thought this might be an issue but it works with H264 or H265.

zm gives some warnings for odd resolution settings that are close to standard but slightly off. For example for 1080p setting
zm expects 1920 x 1080 but receives 1920 x 1056. But it still works.
