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 Did you find something outdated?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. | |||
== Ethernet == | |||
=== 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.
- Synectics E100 encoder
- 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.
