General information

This camera(s) works fine with zoneminder.

  • Remote Host Name: user:password@<ip>
  • Remote Host Port: 80 (is default, alternative 1024 when you've setup this port by webconfig)
  • Remote Host Path: /img/video.mjpeg


FCS-1010

This camera has some issues but can work in zoneminder. Sometimes you will see a blue screen this has something to do with buffering.

When setup this camera it's very important to set hight and wide correct.

Size 1 = Half: 176 x 144 Size 2 = Normal: 352 x 288 Size 3 = Double: 704 x 576

You also need to set the size in the source path like: /cgi-bin/video.jpg?size=2&user=guest&pwd=guest

To control the Pan and Tilt function of the camera you wil find the script here http://www.velthuizen.nl/zoneminder/fcs1010.pm



WCS-2003

This camera supports MP4 or MJPEG. Additional to the information above the remote path is different:

  • MP4 stream remote path: /img/video.asf

In the Monitor definition window of Zoneminder set following values:
Select as source type: Ffmpeg
Source Path: http://<your_camera_ip>/img/video.asf
Set capture width and capture height according the configuration settings of your camera


  • MJPEG stream remote path: /img/mjpeg.jpg (not yet fully tested)


This camera has a Linux based firmware. The source code of the firmware is available at the Level One WCS-2003 page
file WCS-2003(GPL)_2004-07-28.zip


FCS-1101

This camera supports MPEG4 or MJPEG. I just got MJPEG to work with Zoneminder. I didn't get RTSP (Port 554) and MPEG4 Port 8090 to work with Zoneminder, but it's no problem to access these ports with VLC.

Here are the settings:

  • Source type: Remote
  • Remote Protocol: HTTP
  • Remote Method: Simple
  • Remote Hostname: Your Cameras IP
  • Remote Hostport: 8070
  • Remote Hostpath: /video.mjpg
  • Width: Set width depending to the image width you have configured
  • Height: Set height depending to the image width you have configured


FCS-5030

This camera is working with Zoneminder.

Here are the settings:

  • Source type: Remote
  • Remote Protocol: HTTP
  • Remote Method: Simple
  • Remote Host Name: <USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA> <-- example root:@192.168.1.2
  • Remote Host Port: 80
  • Remote Host Path: video.mjpg
  • Width: Set width depending to the image width you have configured
  • Height: Set height depending to the image width you have configured


FCS-5051

Unfortunately at this moment ffmpeg (svn date: 2011-12-21) doesn't support RTSP or MJPEG stream for this camera. Zoneminder works fine with JPG snapshot.

Here are the settings:

  • Source type: Remote
  • Maximum FPS: 10
  • Alarm Maximum FPS: 12
  • Remote Protocol: HTTP
  • Remote Method: Simple
  • Remote Host Name: <USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA> <-- example root:@192.168.1.2
  • Remote Host Port: 80
  • Remote Host Path: /cgi-bin/jpg/image.cgi?
  • Width: Set width depending to the image width you have configured
  • Height: Set height depending to the image width you have configured

If you want to try mjpeg or RTSP, here are the access URLs (Ports can be changed in general network settings) :

  • rtsp://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA>:554/h264
  • rtsp://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA>:554/h264_2 <== (2nd h.264 stream)
  • rtsp://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA>:554/h264_3 <==(3rd h.264 stream)
  • rtsp://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP CAMERA>:554/h264_4 <== (4th h.264 stream)
  • http://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<IP Camera>:8008/ <== (MJPEG).

Width/Height of JPEG snapshot corresponds to settings for MJPEG stream, JPEG snapshot is only available if you select "MJPEG only" or H.264 + MJPEG" in streaming configuration. Full resolution is only available in MJPEG only mode.

As of Hardware V2, ffmpeg version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, zoneminder 1.25 I got RTSP to work if frame rate is set to <= 8 at the camera at full resolution.

Zoneminder:

  • Source type: ffmpeg
  • Source Path: rtsp://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<CAMERA IP>:554/h264
  • Width: Set width depending to the image width you have configured
  • Height: Set height depending to the image width you have configured

WCS-0030 (likely also FCS-0030 and perhaps other but not tested)

I got this camera (hardware version 2) to work in RTSP using the following settings:

WCS-0030 configuration:

  • Video >> Stream >> Video Codec: MPEG4
  • Video >> RTSP Server >> Port: 554
  • Video >> RTSP Server >> Authentication: None

Zoneminder:

  • Source type: Remote
  • Remote Protocol: RTSP
  • Remote Method: RTP/Unicast
  • Remote Hostname: login:password@YourIP
  • Remote Hostport: 554
  • Remote Hostpath: /channel1
  • Width: Set width depending to the image width you have configured
  • Height: Set height depending to the image width you have configured

1280x800@15fps in highest quality works fine.
