GXV-3272-FHD Full HD camera, nighttime capability, supports a power over ethernet connection.

Notes

From Fedora 20, CentOS 6.5 or Scientific Linux 6.5 using vlc:

  • vlc rtsp://<ip addres>/0 - The HiDef stream
  • vlc rtsp://<ip addres>/4 - The LowDef stream

That showed me the camera was working well, had a stable stream with good resolution on both streams.

I started out using zm 1.26 and had a few minor issues that I was working through. Then I got ahold of the 1.27beta and pretty much all my minor issues were fixed. Now running under 1.27 things are working smooth.

Camera Settings

Camera settings that appear to work well:

Primary Stream
Codec H264
Resolution 1920x1080
Bit Rate 4096
Max Frame Rate 10
Secondary Stream
Codec H264
Resolution 352x288
Bit Rate 384
Max Frame Rate 10

One oddity: the HiDef stream is detected by vlc as 1920x1088, that is what needs to be set for the monitor.

ZM Monitors

Create two monitors, one for each of the streams.

HiDef
Name Cam1
Source Type Ffmpeg
Function Nodect
Source Path rtsp://<ip address>/0?tcp
Width & Height Match the camera's Primary stream settings
LowDef
Name Cam1-low
Source Type Ffmpeg
Function Modect
Source Path rtsp://<ip address>/4?tcp
Width & Height Match the camera's Secondary stream settings

Link from Cam1 to Cam1-low. Cam1-low is where the motion detection happens. When it alarms and starts recording the HiDef feed also starts recording.
