SOLVED: Blue Screen Is Best I Get
Posted: Sun Oct 29, 2017 11:24 pm
Hello all,
Relatively new to zoneminder and using a linux server (Ubuntu specifically).
I had some troubles getting zoneminder up and running, but with some help from kind folks here, I'm now at the point where I have a working zoneminder server that I can remotely access and a working security camera, but I can't get the two to work together.
My camera is one I purchased off of ebay from a company called HJT--an inexpensive Chinese brand, but after a few months of using the camera with their software, I'd give it a good review.
The camera supports RTSP, ONVIF, and HTTP, but no matter what combination of settings I use when adding it as a new monitor, the best I can get is a blue screen with ZM's time stamp in the top left. This is achieved by setting using HTTP on port 80. If I try using RTSP on 554, I just get white.
I can access a video feed form an app called ONVIFER on my phone, and it says it's successfully connecting using RTSP on 554 and ONVIF on 80.
Any suggestions?
I've literally tried every combination of settings that seem relevant to me. Some of them cause the source to turn red in ZM's main console. Most give me a white screen, but only when I use HTTP do I get a blue screen.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you
