WiFi Baby model WFB2015

Post by mgchristensen »

Has anyone gotten this camera , WiFi Baby model WFB2015, to work with zoneminder?

The camera works with android "app"s such as tinyCam Monitor PRO and IP Cam Viewer PRO. It will work with vlc if I use the mjpeg stream and http protocol only, without putting the user name and password in the URL (a dialog box pops up to prompt me). I suspect that it may have something to do with digest authentication vs basic authentication, as the cameras seem to work perfectly in both vlc and zoneminder if I set, on the camera, basic authentication. So why does it work OK in the "app"s but not in vlc or zoneminder? I have tried every combination of settings I can think of.

For vlc, for example, if I use the same URL that I feed to the android apps, "rtsp://user:pwd@192.x.x.x:554/live_h264.sdp", with digest authentication set on the camera, the dialog box asking me to enter user and password pops up, I enter user and password, the dialog box pops up again, and again, etc. If basic authentication is set on the camera, it works. I read elsewhere on the forum that digest authentication was added after zoneminder version 1.28.

Thanks to all
