Remote Host Path Settings Zoneminder v1.30.2

Post by Brian_1776 »

Can anyone assist with the appropriate Source tab-->Remote Host Path settings for use with a remote IP2M-841B under the recently released Zoneminder v1.30.2? I connect to the camera successfully but I cannot obtain video.

Settings which worked fine under Zoneminder v1.30.0 include: General tab-->Source Type = Ffmpg; Source tab-->Source Path = "rtsp://[username]:[password]@[IP address]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0" and Remote Method = RTP/RTSP.

Under Zoneminder v1.30.2, however, I understand that the correct setting for a remote camera under General tab-->Source Type is now Remote; and while I can successfully connect to the camera (green IP in GUI Source column) using Source tab-->Remote Protocol = RTSP and Remote Method = RTP/RTSP and Remote Hostname = [username]:[password]@[IP address]:554, I cannot obtain video no matter how much or how little of the remainder of the string "/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0" I include in the Remote Host Path field.

I have both zoneminder v1.30.0 and v1.30.2 running concurrently and the cameras are functioning perfectly under the v1.30.0 instance - so I am confident my only issue is my Source tab settings.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Did you ever get this to work? I have the same issue with an Amcrest IP3M-956EW

Anyone?

I had my cameras working under a test install of ZM 1.30.0, but now I've tried 1.30.2 and 1.31.44 but since the options have changed I can't seem to get them working...

I read something that with the recent switch from Basic to Digest auth on newer Amcrest firmware, Remote doesn't work... but I can't seem to get ffmpeg or libvlc to work either...
