Grandtec WLAN Camera

Joky: /* Network connectivity */

== The camera ==
The camera is one of the cheapest cameras available around here in austria.
The simple version called "III" is the light version for about 90 euro, the WiFi version delivers pictures over WLAN (802.11b, 11MBps).

== Image Quality ==
* no Infrared-Filter
* Poor outdoor quality, not recommended for outdoor-webcams, only for surveillance
* Indoor quality is OK
* Night-Vision would work but external IR-Leds are needed

== Network connection ==
* Problems with WiFi cameras: device may heat up, additional ventilation slots needed? Device connects just once a reboot, if it lost its connection to the access-point it won't reconnect
* Problems while capture with ZM: many lost frames, just 3-5 frames / second (over WLAN, more over cable)
* ZM doesn't grab the JPEG-Images continously, maybe a bug in ZM?

Hardware Compatibility List

Joky: /* Network Cameras */

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel.

== Capture Cards ==

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

[[Bt878_4chip_8inputs]] - I don't know the name for it, 4 chips bt878, 8 inputs, around 5 fps when using 2 inputs per chip

[[Hauppauge]]

[[Ituner Spectra 8]] [http://www.ituner.com/spectra.htm]

[[Linux Media Labs LMLBT44]] [http://www.linuxmedialabs.com]

[[Avermedia]]

[[TView 95/99]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Grand X Guard]] [http://www.grandtec.com/xguard.htm]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

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 svideo camera connected via a supported capture card.

== Network Cameras ==
For Network Cams to work they need to be able to stream MJPEG without the requirment of activex controls. If you see the requirement for the camera calls for IE then there is a good chance it may not work. The other option is to grab JPEG images if the camera supports that option which will work but at a lower frame rate.

* [[Axis]] (just about all recent models, including support for PTZ functions)

* [[Panasonic]] BLC-10, KX-HCM10 etc (including PTZ support)

* [[D-Link]] DCS-1000(W) and DCS-900 - plus other D-Link IP models (This have been hit and miss, not all work with ZM. A partial list of unsupported cameras are inside).

* [[Sony]] SNC-M1 and SNC-M3 wired and wireless - possibly other Sony IP models?

* [[Grandtec]] [[Grandtec_WLAN_Camera|WLAN Camera]] WiFi or III - acceptable indoor quality, no infrared-filter (better nightvision) cheap!

* [[Airlink 101]] AIC250W - Just remember to turn off PCRE processing in the Options > Network tab. http://x.x.x.x/video.cgi gives 10 fps 640 x 480 mjpeg feed. Same camera as D-Link DCS-900W / TrendNet IP-200 / Hawking HNC320W.

* OvisLink AirLive WL-5400CAM

* [[Gadspot]] GS9603 IP Camera with Pan/Tilt, As well as the GS1600(H).

*[[Trendnet]] TV-IP300 - Just remember to turn 1.0 in ZM_HTTP_VERSION in the Options > Network tab. In the x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/video.jpg gives 352 x 240 jpg.

*Intellinet IPCamera with the new firmware.
*Old Intellinet IPCamera (model MWNC-100) with this (http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7500) protocol adapter.

* Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or multi-part JPEG feeds.

== USB Cameras ==

Just Zoom USB cam

Creative Webcam Pro, Webcam 3

Logitech QuickCam Express, QuickCam Pro 3000

Philips PCVC 730K, PCVC 740K<br>
