Camera: Revotech I6032W P
ZoneMinder: v1.30.4
Problem: I can't see my camera when I click on Monitor.
I'm setting up ZoneMinder for the first time. I initially used the WIndows CD provided to set the settings in my camera provided from the information I got at: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Revotech_I6032W_P
From the default configuration, only the following changes were made:
Main profile frame rate dropped to 10fps and resolution to 1280 x 720
Static IP assigned
Unsetting of options that add legends to the video (which removed the timestamp and name on video)
Setting of a password
Then I installed ZoneMinder, added a new monitor with the following settings fron the information I got at : https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Revotech_I6032W_P
Default settings, with the exception of:
General
Source Type : Ffmpeg
Source
Source Path : rtsp://username:password@ip_address/live0.26
Remote Method : RTP/RTSP
Target Colorspace : 32 bit colour (I am currently trying 24 bit color)
Capture Width (pixels) : 1280
Capture Height (pixels) : 720
I can see my camera with VLC with rtsp:username:password@ip_address/0.26live; however, in the ZM Console - when I click on my Name for the camera, I do not get an image. Here is the settings I have in ZoneMindere:2018-02-14 21:41:46.703028 web_js 11541 ERR getStreamCmdResponse stream error: Socket /var/run/zm/zms-127845s.sock does not exist.

I also check my cgi interface was working by creating the script
#!/bin/bash
printf "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
printf "Hello World!\n"
making the script executable, and running it with
curl http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/hw.sh

My error logs show:

If I open the monitor from ZM Console, I get in the log file:

I think I addressed everything in the message part of that error log (?). Thanks.
{note: my preview showed the SOURCE image twice, once where I want it, and again at the end of post - sorry, not sure how to removed the 2nd one}
