Saxa: /* Network Cameras */

Zoneminder will work with almost any capture card that is supported by the linux kernel. You may find additional details about supported hardware in the part of the forums. Also if you find something in the forums that is missing from the wiki ADD IT.

== Capture Cards ==

[[Anykeeper]]

[[Avermedia]]

[[Camsecure PCI Express video capture]]

[[Digiflower]]

[[Geovision GV250 - bt878a chip]]

[[Grandtec Grand X Guard]]

[[Hauppauge]]

[[Ituner Spectra 8]]

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

[[Kodicom 8800]]

[[Tungson TE-8008]]

Leadtek WinFast VC 100 - the cheapest bt878 model with no tuner on it, just Com/Svideo in.

[[LinkDelight CCTV H.264 4CH DVR Card]]

[[Linux Media Labs LMLBT44]]

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Provideo PV- series (Bluecherry)]]
[[ Bluecherry - BC-H16480A]]
[[TView 95/99]]

[[UDP Technology NCP3200v2]]

[[Videocards with Philips saa7134 chipset]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Rapid OS]]

[[KesCom PG104]]

[[IEI Technology Corp. IVC-268G-R20]]

== 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]].

== Network Cameras ==
For Network Cams to work they need to be able to stream MJPEG without the requirement 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.

Any network camera that allows access to single JPEG image grabs or '''some but not all''' multi-part JPEG feeds.

== Network Digitizers ==

Like Network Cameras, these devices produce a video stream - but they accept an analog video input from a camera or other video source.

* [[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]

* Video cameras & safes for antitheft purpose on the website http://www.infosafe.fr

== USB Cameras ==

*Just Zoom USB cam

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

*''Most'' UVCvideo cameras, including: [[Logitech QuickCam Express]], 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:
* [http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ Old Maintainer]
* [http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ Current PWC Maintainer]

== X10 Devices ==
The only device that really needs to be compatable with ZM is the Transceiver, all other x10 devices comunicate through that device.
*[[CM11]] Bi-Directional Transceiver

Saxa: /* GXV-3672-FHD & GXV-3672-FHD-36 IP Cameras */

[http://www.grandstream.com Grandstream Networks] produces a line of IP cameras, many with full HD capabilities.

[[:File:Zoneminder_and_grandstream.pdf|Setup instructions]] Instructions provided by Grandstream to set up one of their cameras on a VMS Zoneminder install.

== GXV-3672-FHD & GXV-3672-FHD-36 IP Cameras ==
[[File:Gxv3672_sideview_1.jpg|150px]]

[http://www.grandstream.com/products/ip-video-surveillance/gxv3672 GXV-3272-FHD] Full HD camera, nighttime capability, supports a power over ethernet connection. FHD model uses an 8mm lens, FHD-36 model uses a 3.6 mm lens for a wider field of view. FHD model has a BNC video connector. FHD-36 has audio input and output connectors.

=== Notes ===
==== Testing camera functionality ====
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.

==== ZM Version ====
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.

==== Hardware ====
Using two GXV-3672-FHD cameras and two GXV-3672-FHD36 cameras on a home built Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 core, 16GB, Asus P8Z77-V motherboard, at idle (monitoring the four low def feeds, no alerts) I see a load average right around 1.5.

=== Camera Settings ===
Camera settings that appear to work well:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"| '''Primary Stream'''
|-
|Codec
|H264
|-
|Resolution
|1920x1080

|-
|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.

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.

'''Leave "Maximum FPS" and "Alarm Maximum FPS" fields empty!'''. If you match the frame rate as set in the camera you'll likely get false events due to image smearing. I made that mistake and it took me a week to realize that I had inadvertently entered 10 for fps to match the camera.

[http://www.grandstream.com/products/surveillance/general/documents/grandstream_http_api.pdf API Document].

== Grandstream GXV 3611 HD dome IP camera ==

=== Notes ===
==== Testing camera functionality ====
From Slackware 13.37 using vlc:
* '''firefox http://<ip addres>/snapshot/view0.jpg''' - The HiDef stream
* '''firefox http://<ip addres>/snapshot/view4.jpg''' - The LowDef stream

There you can see the sent frame.

==== ZM Version ====
I started out using zm 1.27.0 after some configuration issues things are working smooth now.

==== Hardware ====
Using two GXV-3611_HD cameras for now and two GXVxxxx cameras on a home built AMD Phenom 9400 CPU @ x.xxGHz, 4 core, 2GB, Asus P8Z77-V motherboard, at idle (monitoring the four low def feeds, no alerts) I see a load average right around x.x.

=== Camera Settings ===
Camera settings that appear to work well:

|}

To enter into the camera and set the setting open a browser and go to the http://<CAM IP ADDRESS>, click on Configurations and enter the user and password,
the default is:
User: admin
Pass: admin

After that click on the Video&Audio link in the left side menu, and click on Primary Stream, adjust the resolution and save.

** Please note, that the selected resolution of the stream should be set exactly the same in the Monitor set up, otherwise you will not get a picture. **

=== ZM Monitors ===
Create two monitors, one for each of the streams.
