Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel. You may find additional details about supported hardware in the part of the forums. Also if you find something in the forums that is  missing from the wiki ADD IT.
The ZoneMinder Wiki is community based. That means the list below is only as good as those who chose to maintain it. Did you find something outdated? Did you get a camera working, which is not shown in the list below? Please consider adding or improving this list.




== Capture Cards ==
==Overview==
* IP Network Cameras
This is the place to start, if you are new to surveillance. These are cameras that plug into an ethernet cable, mostly. Although some will have wifi.
* IP Video Encoders
These are for legacy coax & analog cameras mostly. Although if you have legacy coax, it is possible to run ethernet over it, via an ethernet to coax adapter. There are a number of options for these, such as the Moca adapters or the Altronix ebridge series.
* Capture Cards
Somewhat legacy equipment these days. Used for PAL or NTSC video signals, mostly. This includes the bt8x8 series.
* Analog Cameras
These typically work with an IP Video encoder or a capture card.
* USB Cameras
Webcams, or any device that Linux supports will likely work.

=== IP Cameras ===
Most modern IP cameras are ONVIF compliant, which means they should work with ZoneMinder because ONVIF is a standard that is widely supported. However, not all cameras are compliant. Cameras which only work with "cloud" services or proprietary apps may not work with any third party recording software. Some "cloud" cameras fit into this category. Examples would be most of the consumer (wifi especially) cameras you will find at the big box retail stores. Such as Arlo, Ring, Blink, etc... Also beware, even if a camera supports ONVIF, you may not get as good a stream, due to incompatibility with Zoneminder / FFMPEG. The Reolink cameras work better now, but when they were first released, there were some headaches (reported on Forum). Old Foscams had MJPEG support that only went up to 2-3 FPS (though the RTSP support works well). Some cameras require settings to get RTSP enabled (Wyze) or even alternate firmware. Cameras are all different, and your choice of make, and even model can determine your success with ZM. Caveat emptor.


[[Avermedia]]
You should verify you can adjust camera parameters such as frame rate, resolution, contrast, etc. from within the camera's web portal. This, in itself, is not a show-stopper, but it will make your experience easier. Often you want to adjust the FPS or resolution to fit your needs. You do not need 4K to watch a hallway, and 320x240 is no good for reading license plates.


[[Camsecure PCI Express video capture]]
The following list of IP cameras is not exhaustive. If your camera is not listed, it does not mean that it won't work with ZoneMinder. Rather, it is likely that no one has taken the time to add it to the list. Please consider adding your camera to this list once you get it working. More details on obtaining stream paths can be found on [[Finding Camera Stream Paths]].

== bt8x8 Cards ==
A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!
 
 
[[Pico2000]] - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels
 
[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip
 
[[:Image:Karta.jpg| bt878 8 chip 8 input]] - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See [[Kodicom 8800]] for more information.
 
Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel
 
'''Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list of some of them.'''
 
== Analog Cameras ==
 
Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card.  Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.
*[[PicturetelControlScript | PictureTel PTZ2N]].
 
== Network Cameras ==
For Network Cams to work they need to be able to generate a video stream without the requirement of activex controls. If the requirements state Internet Explorer is the only supported browser, then the camera may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images (snapshots), if the camera supports that option, which will work but at a lower frame rate.
 
 
'''Help us keep this list accurate.'''
 
The hardware compatibility list is maintained by you, the community. If you see something that is no longer up to date, please consider revising it. Naturally, be respectful with your edits. Those before you have put in a lot of effort into this documentation.
 
 
'''Maintaining PTZ Control Scripts is particularly important.'''
 
It is important to understand that many of the control scripts were written for older versions of ZoneMinder and may require changes to work with the most recent version. When reviewing control scripts, look at the date it was created (see the history tab at the top). If that date is not recent then the script may not work with the latest version. When in doubt, ask in the user forum.
 
If you discover the control script in this WiKi has already been added to ZoneMinder, then please update the WiKi to reflect that.
 
 
'''Consider adding your script to ZoneMinder.'''
 
If you are willing to do the work, we will gladly add new control scripts to ZoneMinder, as long as they have been tested to work properly. This requires submitting a pull request on our github site with the control script and the necessary sql bits to make it show up in the console. Once the control script has been added to the source tree, it will be maintained by the developers and will (should?) always work for you. This is really the best option as it avoids the endless maintenance required to keep the WiKi up to date.

=== IP Video Encoder ===
 
Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream over tcp/ip - but they do so with input from an analog video camera or other video source. An easy way to find these are to search for video encoders or video servers, e.g. 8 channel video encoder, or 2 channel video server.  Newer video encoders may also support HD Analog either in addition, or instead of analog streams (how they implement HD analog, depends upon the brand. There are currently competing standards such as AHD, EX-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, etc...).


Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source.
IP Video Encoders are generally easier to use and maintain than PCI / Capture cards.

Although the camera will can capture high res, you don't have enough RAM currently to do so.  Especially if you have the early 256MB model.  So just stick to 640x480.
Single board computers such as the Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Beagleboard, and many others.


You should be able to get around 20fps, but if you do anything involving the CPU you will get underruns.

The ZoneMinder Wiki is community based. That means the list below is only as good as those who chose to maintain it. Did you find something outdated? Did you get a camera working, which is not shown in the list below? Please consider adding or improving this list.


Overview

  • IP Network Cameras

This is the place to start, if you are new to surveillance. These are cameras that plug into an ethernet cable, mostly. Although some will have wifi.

  • IP Video Encoders

These are for legacy coax & analog cameras mostly. Although if you have legacy coax, it is possible to run ethernet over it, via an ethernet to coax adapter. There are a number of options for these, such as the Moca adapters or the Altronix ebridge series.

  • Capture Cards

Somewhat legacy equipment these days. Used for PAL or NTSC video signals, mostly. This includes the bt8x8 series.

  • Analog Cameras

These typically work with an IP Video encoder or a capture card.

  • USB Cameras

Webcams, or any device that Linux supports will likely work.

IP Cameras

Most modern IP cameras are ONVIF compliant, which means they should work with ZoneMinder because ONVIF is a standard that is widely supported. However, not all cameras are compliant. Cameras which only work with "cloud" services or proprietary apps may not work with any third party recording software. Some "cloud" cameras fit into this category. Examples would be most of the consumer (wifi especially) cameras you will find at the big box retail stores. Such as Arlo, Ring, Blink, etc... Also beware, even if a camera supports ONVIF, you may not get as good a stream, due to incompatibility with Zoneminder / FFMPEG. The Reolink cameras work better now, but when they were first released, there were some headaches (reported on Forum). Old Foscams had MJPEG support that only went up to 2-3 FPS (though the RTSP support works well). Some cameras require settings to get RTSP enabled (Wyze) or even alternate firmware. Cameras are all different, and your choice of make, and even model can determine your success with ZM. Caveat emptor.

You should verify you can adjust camera parameters such as frame rate, resolution, contrast, etc. from within the camera's web portal. This, in itself, is not a show-stopper, but it will make your experience easier. Often you want to adjust the FPS or resolution to fit your needs. You do not need 4K to watch a hallway, and 320x240 is no good for reading license plates.

The following list of IP cameras is not exhaustive. If your camera is not listed, it does not mean that it won't work with ZoneMinder. Rather, it is likely that no one has taken the time to add it to the list. Please consider adding your camera to this list once you get it working. More details on obtaining stream paths can be found on Finding Camera Stream Paths.

IP Video Encoder

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream over tcp/ip - but they do so with input from an analog video camera or other video source. An easy way to find these are to search for video encoders or video servers, e.g. 8 channel video encoder, or 2 channel video server. Newer video encoders may also support HD Analog either in addition, or instead of analog streams (how they implement HD analog, depends upon the brand. There are currently competing standards such as AHD, EX-SDI, HD-SDI, HD-CVI, HD-TVI, etc...).

IP Video Encoders are generally easier to use and maintain than PCI / Capture cards.

  • The Aviosys IP9100, Models A, B and Plus has four analog video inputs. It produces a ZM compatible video stream from one of the inputs, which is selectable via an HTTP GET command. There might even be a control script for ZM that lets you select the active video input using ZM's Camera Control Presets!

With the yoics Aviosys 9100 firmware at http://www.yoics.com/?p=28, ZoneMinder can directly access all four ports via /usr/yoicsX.jpg as the remote host path, where X is 0 - 3.

  • GXV3504 Grandstream 4 channel video encoder.
  • Samsung uses AHD cameras, and possibly NTSC/PAL cameras.

bt8x8 Cards

BT8x8 cards are handled by the Kernel module BTTV. A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!


Pico2000 - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels

Bt878_4chip_8inputs -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

bt878 8 chip 8 input - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See Kodicom 8800 for more information.

Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel

Geovision GV-800 8 inputs - [2] Recommended to review forums.

Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list. You can also find more details on the BTTV module, such as parameters to pass via insmod, in the kernel and on the v4l wiki 2nd link

Analog Cameras

Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.

USB

  • Just Zoom USB cam
  • Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3, LIVE! Cam OPTIA PRO (V4L2, Chan 0, PAL, YUYV)
  • Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere (experimental basic pan/tilt control has also published for testing and hacking [3])
  • Any OV511 based USB camera [4]
  • Any CPIA based USB camera [5]
  • Confirmed basic functionality with Microsoft Lifecam VX 5000 using UVC Streaming method
  • Company name: PU`Aimetis model: PUAN-3656 (2MP / Max resolution: 1920*1080, MJPEG - 1920X1080 @ 30fps / YUV2 - 1920X1080 @ 5fps)

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux/V4L2, and so can be used by ZoneMinder. Some have older chipsets and can be hard to find new.

Note that PWC drivers are not included in the kernel. Some distribution's add them in and other may not. Here are some relevant links:

X10 Devices

The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.
