Author's Notes

I've only recently gotten back to running ZoneMinder after being away for a couple years, this is the first time I've worked with IP cameras. There seems to be little info about this manufacturers cameras here on the wiki and in the forums so I thought I'd start documenting what I've come up with. I have 3 of these in hand, two still in boxes, one on my desk while I test it out. If I should be posting this info elsewhere please let me know. I'll try to keep the form and style of this wiki page consistent with others as best I can. Biloxigeek (talk) 18:20, 2 March 2014 (GMT)

TheKorn: Is there some reason why you're not attempting RTSP streaming within ZoneMinder? Since RTSP works in VLC, should (at least theoretically) work in ZM as well.

Biloxigeek TheKorn: I am using rtsp now, but still working to find good settings. I'm seeing some smearing and some other issues. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to zero in on a good setup.

Biloxigeek Using 1.27 now and things are much better with the Grandstream camera. I've updated the wiki page to show the settings I've worked out.

Manufacturer's Support

I've submitted a ticket through Grandstream's support to ask about getting their cameras working in zoneminder. I did get a response that they've tested the GXV-3672-FHD with zm and it worked well. Now I'm waiting to see if they'll provide me with a listing of the settings they used on the camera and in zm to get those results.

If anyone else has gotten good configuration info from Grandstream I'd appreciate it if you could share it.
