Problems configuring an ip camera

Post by KajiyamaVK »

I know that you see this kind of topic a lot and probably I'm posting the wrong way - or in the wrong place. I'm really really sorry.

I have an ip camera that I can access via VLC using this kind of address: rtsp://<login>:<password>@<my_ip>:554/onvif1 - I have the visual with no problems at all.

Using the ZM I have the following config....

And this is what I'm seeing

And the 1 minute log is here :

https://justpaste.it/8cncg (I know that I didn't hide my password like I did in the picture.... I't s just a standard password that I see no point hiding since you guys are not here in my house made of diamonds and gold.... lol)

Could you guys help me? Idk what I'm doing wrong.

Don't set maximum FPS. If it works in vlc, it should work in zm w/libVLC.

See https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

Thanks about the link.

Actually the document didn't help me at all since I already had the path working as I tested using VLC.
After some tries I change the TCP to UDM - bam.... that was it.

Thank you som much for trying to help me.

God bless.
