Vivotek

< v. 1.24

In versions of ZoneMinder prior to 1.24, the only way to use the Vivotek 7131 camera was by streaming the snapshot (which gives you an inconsistent FPS of 1 - 3). Use /cgi-bin/video.jpg as the Remote Host Path (Under Source).

>= v. 1.24

Starting with version 1.24 of ZoneMinder, RTSP is supported. As the Vivotek 7131 camera supports RTSP, we can now make full use of this camera. I have successfully setup a a Vivotek 7131 on an Ubuntu 8.10 Server using RTSP at 640x480, 24-bit color and streaming at 20FPS using RTSP. I had manually changed the RTSP port in the camera settings to port 7070. This is probably not necessary, and I do not remember the default - so adjust accordingly. To make this work, use the following settings:
