ESCAM QD520 IP Camera

Post by linker3000 »

Hi Everyone, I am close to getting the above camera working, but not yet so any advice appreciated.

I'm runnng ZM 1.25 on Centos 6.5. The docs that came with the camera were useless, but through a bit of poking around and ONVIF Device Manager, I know that the following URL will show a video stream in VLC:

Code: Select all

rtsp://192.168.2.33/user=zoneminder_password=xxxxxxxxxx_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream
VLC (Windows) tells me the stream is H264, MPEG4 AVC (part10) and at 1280x720 planar 4:2:0 YUV

I have tried a few combinations of settings in Zoneminder but can't get things running.

The camera setup is corrently:

Remote protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Remote host name: 192.168.2.33
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Hpst Path: /user=zoneminder_password=xxxxxxxx_channel=1_stream=0.sdp?real_stream
Capture Width: 1280
Capture height: 720

In /var/log/messages I'm getting:

Jul 26 18:33:28 zone zmc_m3[5150]: ERR [Got unexpected memory map file size 27649192, expected 55297032]

Am I missing something - like H264 support?

Any advice appreciated as I'm quite new to Zoneminder.

Thanks

Hi,

You need to restart zoneminder (or the computer) if you change buffer sizes or camera resolution, this is why you get the error. You are close!

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

Thanks PacoLM.

After a few restarts of ZM and apache (was getting a socket error), I now get:

Jul 26 20:31:08 zone zmc_m3[6850]: FAT [Unable to get RTP Info identifier from response 'RTSP/1.0 200 OK#015#012Server: H264DVR 1.0#015#012cseq: 3#015#012Range: npt=now-#015#012Session: 15328540#015#012#015#012']

Aargh!

Hi linker3000,

Did you find your way to make it works?

I have the same camera and no success to get the stream in ZoneMinder up to now...

Many thanks!
