configuring hostname in hikvision camera for use by rtsp
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:18 pm
When adding cams, one format used by zoneminder for sourcepath is
tsp://<id>:<password>@192.168.1.54:554/ch1/main/av_stream
Instead I want to use zoneminder source path
tsp://<id>:<password>@FrontPorch:554/ch1/main/av_stream
So basically I want to give the Hikvision camera a hostname of FrontPorch.
So then procedure would be
a) configure camera to use dhcp and give it hostname FrontPorch
b) configure zoneminder source path to use FrontPorch
and everything works without concern about ip addresses.
I believe this is configurable using DDNS on the camera but not sure.
Thanks for suggestions.
