ACTi
ACM 5611
This is the setup I am using for the ACM 5611
Source type = remote
Remote Protocol = HTTP
Remote Method = Simple
Remote Host Name = login:pwd@IP_address
Remote Port = 80
Remote Host Path = /cgi-bin/cmd/encoder?GET_STREAM
Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour
Capture Width 1280
Capture Height 720 (also used 1024)
Those were all I set and it came right up.
I have used this same format with other cameras of the
ACM family, they all worked.
ACTi ACM 3401 (RTSP), works for other ACM series cameras
In ACTI camera video settings:
Streaming Method = RTP Over UDP
RTSP Authen Enable: checked
B2 Frame Enable: unchecked (Important!)
Strongly recommend changing Root password (User Account screen) from default!
In ZM Monitor config Source type = Remote
Protocol = RTSP
Method = RTSP/Unicast
Host Name = user:pass@address (default user:pass = admin:123456)
Port = 7070 (camera's default)
Path = leave blank
Target colourspace = 24 bit colour
Capture Resolution = 1280 x 1024 (or whatever your camera is set to)
Preserve aspect ratio: unchecked
ACTi D32
HTTP support buggy in the D32. Use RTSP.
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Remote host name: user:pass@host
Remote Host Port: 7070 (this is the default port for the factory configuration. can be changed in Network menu)
Remote Host Path: (leave empty)
Target Colorspace 24 bit color
Capture Width: (set the same as camera's config)
Capture Height: (set the same as camera's config)
Preserve Aspect Ratio: unchecked
Orientation: (set to whatever you need/like)
Deinterlacing: Disabled
ACTi TCM-5611 working setup
I could only get the streaming unicast from the camera working with VLC but not with Zoneminder so I went the HTTP route.
Using the camera's web configurator page, I first set the camera to 640x480, MJPEG.
Then created a device in Zoneminder.
Source: remote
protocol: HTTP
FPS: blank
max FPS: blank
640x480
address: user:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
path: /cgi-bin/cmd/system?GET_STREAM
RTP B2 Frames
Some ACTi cameras, including the KCM-5611 and B95, have a proprietary feature which injects "B2 Frames" (an ACTi-proprietary data blob containing timestamps and other info) into the MJPEG stream. If this feature is enabled, neither ZoneMinder nor browsers like Firefox and Chrome will be able to decode the MJPEG stream from the camera. On some cameras this option is enabled by default; to disable the B2 frames, go to the Network->RTP page in the camera's Web Configurator and un-check the RTP B2 Frame option.
