Heathloder: Added some updated information about ds-2cd2032-i's

These seem to work. The biggest problem is people trying to use 'network camera' instead of 'ffmpeg' source type. Both have rtsp but only ffmpeg works here (because of h.264?) see [[http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=37034]]

The '''DS-2CD2732F-I''' and '''DS-2CD2032-I''' are tested.

[The DS-2CD2032-I's come in several different versions (Chinese, Int'l, English, etc...) each with multiple firmwares available. Be sure that you use the correct firmware for your camera model for best results.]

The '''DS-2CD2532F-IWS''' was tested to work reliably only with Libvlc as source type.

The '''DS-2CD2012-I''' works too.

==== General Tab ====
:Source Type : Ffmpeg / Libvlc / Remote(only some FW revisions)
==== Source Tab ====
:Source Path : rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip_address>:<port>/Streaming/Channels/1?tcp
(example: rtsp://admin:12345@mycamera.mydomain.com//Streaming/Channels/1)
:Target Colorspace : 24 bit colour
:Capture Width (pixels) : 1280 (set these to match camera config)
:Capture Height (pixels) : 720

I also had to set max FPS slightly higher than set in camera, or i lost the lower half of the frame. (Camera seems to send 10.6fps when 10 is selected)

The following URL gives another Source path that was far more stable on Zoneminder 1.25: http://onlinetechadvice.blogspot.com/2014/04/hikvision-ds-2cd2032-i-working-in.html#comment-form

The Source path that worked for me is: rtsp://username:password@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0?tcp
Of course, replace username and password and port with your specific installation information.

The "Remote" option also seems to work now in ZM 1.28 (at least with ds-2cd2032-i's of a certain firmware version), with less rtsp streaming errors than when using ffmpeg. The source path /Streaming/Channels/1 works fine with firmware version 5.1.6, but seems to not work any longer in 5.2.5. The source path /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 works on any firmware model. In ZM 1.28 (perhaps earlier as well), TCP is automatically forced when the "Remote" source type is chosen and RTP/RTSP is used (https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/issues/323), so the trailing "?tcp" is not necessary for either URL when this configuration is used.
