Fresh install 1.30 zoneminder - 1.28 entries do not work
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 7:12 pm
Hi, I have a HIKVISION camera.... the fresh install for 1.30 went flawlessly - Excellent documentation by ZM. Thx.
I have a working 1.28 ZM working perfectly and all i wanted to do is copy paste camera entries from old to new ... but it does not work.
Example
==================================================================
1.28 ZM OLD --> HIKVISION entries
==================================================================
*** MONITOR/GENERAL Tab: ****
Source type: Ffmpeg
MAX FPS: 30.0
*** MONITOR/SOURCE Tab: ***
Source Path: rtsp://{username:pswd}@{IP address:rtspport#}//Streaming/Channels/1
Remote method: RTP/RTSP
==================================================================
1.30 ZM NEW --> HIKVISION entries
==================================================================
*** MONITOR/GENERAL Tab: ****
Source type: Ffmpeg
MAX FPS: 30.0
*** MONITOR/SOURCE Tab: ***
Source Path: rtsp://{username:pswd}@{IP address:rtspport#}//Streaming/Channels/1 [ as in old ]
Remote method: Unfortunately RTP/RTSP entry is not available and hence I selected TCP
However the above entries do not work.......meaning I am not able to see the live stream (however the IDENTICAL settings in 1.28 zm works). Any help would be appreciated.
Logs:
Socket /var/run/zm/zms-772683s.sock does not exist. This file is created by zms, and since it does not exist, either zms did not run, or zms exited early. Please check your zms logs and ensure that CGI is enabled in apache and check that the PATH_ZMS is set correctly. Make sure that ZM is actually recording. If you are trying to view a live stream and the capture process (zmc) is not running then zms will exit. Please go to http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... window-etc for more information.
