TD-9412M-D-FZ-PE-IR2 - how to get images?

[lista.email]

Dear IP camera experts,

I have an IP camera, model TD-9412M-D-FZ-PE-IR2 - which is a TVT IP camera with POE support.

This camera is working beautiful with windows software and Internet Explorer.

I have it configured in LAN using IP 192.168.13.216.

Internet Explorer is able to display live images using htt p://192.168.13.216/WebCam.html (require authentication, user: admin and password).
Also is working as rtsp, vlc-2.1.2 is able to open (without password) rts p://192.168.13.216:554/

Trying to do the same things on linux, I am stuck. Firefox is not accepted and Vlc-2.x, pointing the same rtsp or http stream (after authentication) is showing invalid format message.

zoneminder, after configured first monitor, is able to detect activity on camera but is displaying a red image!

ZoneMinder-1.27 is running:

[root@zoneminder ~]# zmu -l
Id Func State TrgState LastImgTim RdIdx WrIdx LastEvt FrmRate
1 3 0 0 1404763396.26 47 47 0 43.29
[root@zoneminder ~]#

Talking at technical department of those sold me camera, they confirmed that it has been tested and is working with Dahua NVR, for example, this model: NVR Dahua NVR3216-P

So, I am pretty sure that this camera should work also under linux, but I need some help to point me to the right direction.

Using it's configuration interface, I am able to see that it has also onvif section. This camera could be set to be client for:
- Dahua
- Hikvison
- Axxon
- Milestone
- Nuuo
- No Config

Now, ovif is setup for Dahua.

Please, help me get images on linux from this camera. I've attached a print screen from zoneminder which is configured as following:

You will want to use ffmpeg or vlc instead of 'remote' to have ZM read the stream.

no, vlc or ffmpeg is not working. See how I've solved it here:

If they are not working you want to get them working...they work extremely well when properly configured. I run 6 720P cams at 15FPS and 100% JPEG quality and my server has a load average of about 0.75. Its good stuff.
