I've tested QD300 so far. I am told QD900 will be the same

These are the settings for QD300.

In camera settings

QD300 allows you to configure both a primary and secondary stream. You can set it up in the "device config->Encode" section of the camera

In this example, I've enabled the primary stream and disabled the secondary stream. You can enable both. Note that I've set the FPS to 3 as its a good idea to reduce FPS in-camera and not ZoneMinder. Set it to a value that makes sense for you.

You can either configure the camera using FFmpeg or native RTSP

Configuring it via FFMPEG

Primary Stream
  • General
    • Source Type-->Ffmpeg
  • Source
    • Source Path
      • For primary stream: rtsp://<cameraip>:554/user=<username>&password=<password>&channel=1&stream=0.sdp
      • For secondary stream: rtsp://<cameraip>:554/user=<username>&password=<password>&channel=2&stream=0.sdp
    • Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
    • Options: keep empty
    • Target colorspace: 32 bit
    • Capture Width and Height
      • For primary stream: 1280 and 720 for QD300, 1280 and 1080 for QD900 (change this depending on your camera resolution)
      • For secondary stream: if you are using CIF, its 352 and 288 respectively

You don't need to change anything else

Configuring it via native RTSP

Will update this later, but in general, while it works, you will see constant ERRs logged while viewing the feed. So stick to FFMPEG - if you see smearing, switch to native RTSP
