D-Link DCS 935L network camera

[DrWaste]

Hi all,

Has anyone ever got a D-Link DCS-935L network camera to work on zoneminder ?

It streams via rtsp :
rtsp://user:password@hostname:554/play1.sdp
but I can't work out how to configure it to get it to work.

My zoneminder is setup following :
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_Easy_Way

I have set the camera up with :
Source Type : Remote
Remote Protocol : RTSP
Remote Method : RTSP/Unicast
Remote Host Name : IP address
Remote Host Port : 554
Remote Host Path : rtsp://user:password@ip.ad.dr.ess:554/play1.sdp

It turns up orange in the console so I suppose the configuration is OK but when I want to view the output the window opens up but nothing is displayed. Once I close this window the source item in the console has turned red and I have to re-save the source settings (without any modifications) and it goes orange again.

In the logs I have :

Code: Select all

zmc_m1[30734]: INF [Starting Capture]
zmdc[30561]: ERR ['zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
web_php[30404]: ERR [socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-797516s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory]
web_php[30404]: ERR [getStreamCmdResponse stream error: socket_sendto( /var/run/zm/zms-797516s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory - checkStreamForErrors()]
zmc_m1[30738]: FAT [No RTSP sources]
zmdc[30561]: ERR ['zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
zmc_m1[30741]: INF [Starting Capture]
zmc_m1[30741]: FAT [No RTSP sources]
zmdc[30561]: ERR ['zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255]

I modified line 15 of stream.php:
$locSockFile = ZM_PATH_SOCKS.'/zms-'.sprintf("%06d",$_REQUEST['connkey']).'w.sock';
to:
$locSockFile = ZM_PATH_SOCKS.'/zms-'.sprintf("%06d",$_REQUEST['connkey']).'s.sock';

Then I don't get the socket error anymore but I still get the zmc abnormal exit, the FAT "No RTSP sources" plus a new error which occurs every 15 seconds :

Code: Select all

web_php[25566]: ERR [Got unexpected message size, got 5, expected 260]
web_php[25566]: ERR [getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Got unexpected message size, got 5, expected 260 - checkStreamForErrors()]

and still nothing displayed when I open the live feed window.

Am I doing right editing code as new errors crop up or have I botched my configuration and missed something else ?

Thank you for your help.

Have you tried it like a 942L ?

Source Type: remote
Protocol:HTTP
Remote Host Name: <username>:<password>@<camera ip>
Remote Host Path: /video/mjpg.cgi?profileid=1

Don't edit the code, there is two sock files created w and s, you are missing one. Normally permissions or apache config issues throw the sock error.

Hi Did you manage get it worked?

I've used Libvlc and manage to get it worked..

in source path rtsp://admin:password@192.168.1.62:554/play1.sdp
But I hade to laborate with screen resolution..

But I wonder if it's possible to capture pictures instead. My server is quite old..

Hi

I started using ZoneMinder a couple of days ago, and I was able to set up all my cameras except the DCS-935L camera, it would not show the video feed, just a blue screen.
I searched for a solution on the issue, tried different settings in ZoneMinder, and tried the different paths available for all the other D-Link cameras without any luck.

In the end, I found the solution in the camera's setup.

This is how I set it up in ZoneMinder:

Source Type: Remote
Function: Monitor

Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Host Name: username:password@camera ip address
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /cgi/jpg/image.cgi <---This is the important bit.
Capture Width (pixels): 1280
Capture Height (pixels): 720

The host path can be found on the camera setup page, under Maintenance - Admin - Server Setting - Snapshot URL Authentication
On the right hand side, you should have the following line: (http://ip address:port/cgi/jpg/image.cgi)

I hope this information is useful to others that are having issues with the DCS-935L camera.
