DLink is a supplier of several IP Cameras. Not all work with ZoneMinder.
DCS-1000(W) and DCS-900 - plus other D-Link IP models (This have been hit and miss, not all work with ZM. A partial list of unsupported cameras are inside).

=DCS-900=
[[Image:DCS900.png]]

There are 2 versions of this camera. The "A" version is reported to work extremely well with ZoneMinder. The "B" version also works, but has a been reported to have lesser performance. I have been able to get upto 8 fps with my revision "B" camera.

 Source Type: Remote 
 Remote Host Name: IP Address of Camera
 Remote Host Port: 80 (Default) 
 Remote Host Path: /VIDEO.CGI or /IMAGE.JPEG 
 (/VIDEO.CGI is the MJpeg stream, and gets higher FPS in my testing)

With version A2
 Source Type: Remote 
 Remote Host Name: user:pass@<IP_Address_of_Camera> (user:pass@192.168.0.5)
 Remote Host Port: 80 (Default) 
 Remote Host Path: VIDEO.CGI 

With the latest versions of the DCS-900 "B" there is an additional step needed in the "Options > Network" section of ZoneMinder.

 Source Type: Remote 
 Remote Host Name: user:pass@<IP Address of Camera>
 Remote Host Port: 80 (Default) 
 Remote Host Path: /VIDEO.CGI? for stream

There is the same aditional step as in DCS-900B, in the "Options > Network" section of ZoneMinder.

 Source type: Remote
 Remote Host Name: IP Address of Camera
 Remote Host Port: 80 (Default) or the non-default port assigned to the camera in your network
 Remote host Path: /cgi-bin/video.jpg
 Control script: download at www.condrau.com/download/zmcontrol-dcs6620g.pl

The control script supports all controls for this camera, but it can be used for other D-Link and Vivotek cameras as well. I verified it with DCS-6620 and Vivotek's PT7137, as the software is compatible with these 2 cameras. It should also work with other models such as the DCS-5300.

Note that I implemented a real name preset functionality, where you can set any desired name as the preset name. It is basically possible to set the presets through ZM's interface, but I prefer to do it through the cam's firmware interface, which is the default setting in the script. By changing one constant definition, you may change this behaviour. In any case still activate the "can set presets" option in ZM, after which you can assign names to each preset.

I would further recommend to update the cam's firmware. I found smoother operation in ZM after having updated the firmware, and also with the latest firmware you can set ZM_HTTP_VERSION option to 1.1.

 HTTP
 Source Type: Remote
 Remote Host Name: user:pass@<IP Address of Camera>
 Remote Host Port: 80 (Default)
 Remote Host Path: /video/mjpg.cgi (for mjpeg stream)

 RTSP
 Source Type: ffmpeg
 Source Path: rtsp://user:pass@<IP Address of Camera>/play1.sdp (or play2.sdp)

ZoneMinder 1.24.2 (Haven't tried earlier versions)

Tried it with just admin:@<IP Address of Camera>  without password before setting camera password and it worked. Created an account with a password, tried that and it also worked.

May need /video/mjpg.cgi?profileid=3 caught that from tcpdump, suspect the numbers are resolution but don't seem to have any affect.

Seems like it's operating in factory default Profile 3, 704x480 10fps jpeg. Haven't found a way to change the Profile used yet. Could only pull about 22fps when camera was set to 30fps (mjpeg) so opted to set camera to 15fps.

RTSP works with ffmpeg as above pulling 30fps when camera set to 30fps for that Profile but could not get it working with Source Type Remote and Remote Protocol RTSP.

Looks like Audio is at /audio/ACAS.cgi but haven't done anything with that.

=Incompatible Hardware=

I know that the DCS-1110 is not compattible with ZoneMinder, as it requires ActiveX to recive the MJpeg stream.

If you know of other DLink cameras that don't work, please add them to the list!

DCS-950 not compatible.  Mpeg stream.  Authentication is OCX application based, not web standard authentication.  JPG file generated at random url, not predictable.
