Jamesholmstrom: created the page to list MPIX cameras compatibility issues

== MPIX ==
These cameras are manufactured for WatchNET, and sold in the USA and Canada, and probably elsewhere. I have only tried the 40IRBF-K28, but given that the company claims all of their MPIX cameras are ONVIF compliant and supply rtsp streams, they will likely also work. I chose this particular camera because it is a PoE camera with good resistance to harsh environments.

=== Camera Web Interface ===
These cameras come pre-configured with a static IP of 192.168.1.108, and a standard username and password. Regardless of why they did this, if you use a different subnet, or have other devices on your network with this IP then you will have to work around it. They do come with a windows based utility (which works under wine on my linux box) to ping and adjust the IP and other network settings. The web based interface worked well using Chrome on my linux box, but the video was not visible. That was inconsequential as all other settings are available. The first time you log in you are prompted to change the password, which is of course highly recommended. I found I could load the rtsp stream listed below in vlc and use this to monitor changes to the video settings as I made them in the camera web interface. Aside from the ActiveX requirement for video on their web-based interface, the rest of the configuration process works very well.
The ONVIF compliance is something I cannot speak to. The only thing I tried was scanning my network with the ONVIF prove, and nothing showed up.
The RTSP stream worked flawlessly, once I found it. Interestingly, the stream location ( <ip address>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0) is something I also found online for other ip cameras. This is likely due to a common source for the web interface.

Regardless, here are some specifics relating to the setup of this camera as a monitor in ZoneMinder (v1.30.4):

==== General Tab ====
:Source Type : Ffmpeg
:Analysis FPS : 40 (will likely work with >=20)
:Maximum FPS : 40 (ibid)
:Alarm Maximum FPS : 40 (ibid)
==== Source Tab ====
:Source Path : rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip_address>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&Subtype=0
(example: rtsp://admin:12345@172.16.1.25/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0)
:Remote Method : TCP
:Target Colorspace : 24 bit colour
:Capture Width (pixels) : 2688
:Capture Height (pixels) : 1520

If you don't set the capture height and width as above you will not get an image.
There is a secondary stream at rtsp://<username>:<password>@<ip_address>/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&Subtype=1 that can be configured to a lower resolution. I have not tried it.

Hardware Compatibility List

Jamesholmstrom: added link to the MPIX IP camera that I have tested

The ZoneMinder Wiki is community based. That means the list below is only as good as those who chose to maintain it. Did you find something outdated? Did you get a camera working, which is not shown in the list below? Please consider adding or improving this list.

== IP Network Cameras ==
Most modern IP cameras are ONVIF compliant, which means most modern IP Camera should work with ZoneMinder. There are some caveats to this general rule. Cameras which (only) send an encrypted stream will not work with any third party recording software. Some "cloud" cameras fit into this category. You should verify one can adjust camera parameters such as frame rate, resolution, contrast, etc within the camera's web portal. This, in itself, is not a show stopper, but it will make your experience a lot easier.

The following list of IP cameras is not exhaustive. If your camera is not listed, it does not mean it will not work with ZoneMinder. Rather it likely means no one has taken the time to add it to the list. Please consider adding your camera to this list once you get it working.

== IP Video Encoder ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source. An easy way to find these are to search for video encoders or video servers, e.g. 8 channel video encoder, or 2 channel video server. Note that analog encoders are becoming obsolete, as HD analog encoders become the norm.

* [[Synectics E100]] encoder

*The [[IP9100 | Aviosys IP9100, Models A, B and Plus]] has four analog video inputs. It produces a ZM compatible video stream from one of the inputs, which is selectable via an HTTP GET command. There might even be a control script for ZM that lets you select the active video input using ''ZM's Camera Control Presets!''

With the yoics Aviosys 9100 firmware at http://www.yoics.com/?p=28, ZoneMinder can directly access all four ports via /usr/yoicsX.jpg as the remote host path, where X is 0 - 3.

* [[Bosch VIP X1 Single-channel]] video encoder [http://products.boschsecuritysystems.eu/en/EMEA/products/bxp/SKU15449253232961378955-CATMda7ec5dc0edf5b1a0b8cb619e2e11308]

* [[GXV3504]] Grandstream 4 channel video encoder.

== bt8x8 Cards ==
A note on the bt8x8-based TV-tuner cards: these usually have beside the tuner input, also a Composite and an S-Video input. You can hook up 2 analog cameras to these, and access from ZoneMinder both of them as individual cameras, at max 15Fps. You don't need two separate TV cards for two cameras!

[[Pico2000]] - 4 port card, one chip bt878, around 2 fps when using all channels

[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] -4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

[[:Image:Karta.jpg| bt878 8 chip 8 input]] - This card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector and uses the bt878 chip for each input allowing full frame rates and quality. See [[Kodicom 8800]] for more information.

Geovision GV250 bt878a single chip 4 inputs - This capture Card is supplied with 4 video inputs but with NO audio channel

'''Most other BTTV (bt878, bt848) cards, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST on your system for a list of some of them.'''

== Analog Cameras ==

Any regular composite or S-video camera connected via a supported capture card. Some analog cameras feature camera control - ZM supports several of these camera's Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions via serial port control, as well as camera Presets, Focus, Iris, etc.
*[[PicturetelControlScript | PictureTel PTZ2N]].

== USB Cameras ==

*Just Zoom USB cam

*Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3, LIVE! Cam OPTIA PRO (V4L2, Chan 0, PAL, YUYV)

*''Most'' UVCvideo cameras, including: Advent AWC213, Creative Labs VF0420, [[Logitech QuickCam Express]], Logitech HD C270, QuickCam Pro 3000, [[QuickCam Pro 4000]], QuickCam Communicate STX/Deluxe, [[Logitech Webcam Pro 9000]], and [[Webcam C250]]

*Logitech Quickcam Orbit/Sphere (experimental basic pan/tilt control has also published for testing and hacking [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9788])

*[[Philips]]

*Any OV511 based USB camera [http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/cameras.html]

*Any CPIA based USB camera [http://webcam.sourceforge.net]

*[[LabTec WebCam Pro]]

*Confirmed basic functionality with Microsoft Lifecam VX 5000 using UVC Streaming method

Note that most USB cameras that can use Video4Linux/V4L2, and so can be used by ZoneMinder. Some have older chipsets and can be hard to find new.

Note that PWC drivers are not included in the kernel. Some distribution's add them in and other may not. Here are some relevant links:

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.
