Schlomo: TVIP11550

= ABUS =

== TVIP11550 ==

This is a WLAN Megapixel Kamera which works very well with Linux and ZM. See the [http://www.amazon.de/product/dp/B002TNKRUE German Amazon Product Description] and also [http://www.abus-video.com/av_en/silver.econtent/catalog/products/Videoueberwachung/Eyseo-IP-Netzwerkkameras/Kompaktkameras/TVIP11550 ABUS product info].

The camera supports MPEG-4 and H.264 streams, ZM 1.24.2 supports only the MPEG-4 stream and dies on the H.264 stream (but this might be an ffmpeg issue). Of course also the MJPEG and JPEG variants can be used but require a much higher bandwith. With MPEG-4 you get a very good quality stream (1280x1024@15) with a bandwith 6MBit/s which is also no problem over WLAN.

The camera is very Linux compatible, only the alarm zone configuration for the camera-internal motion detection requires IE. Since I use ZM I do not use this feature at all, everything else is Firefox compatible. The wealth of settable options shows that this camera belongs to the semi-professional market and is well above the typical Chinese cheapomatic camera.

Streaming source is <code>rtsp://<camera>:554/video.mp4</code> and one must set the picture size to 1280x1024. I disabled the authentication for the video stream at the camera.

There are also other models which lack some or all of WLAN, IR, Megapixel features. These should also be compatibel but I did not test them.

Hardware Compatibility List

Schlomo: /* 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 [http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10 Hardware Compatibility List] 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]]

[[Grandtec Grand X Guard]] [http://www.grandtec.com/products/surveillance/xguard.html]

[[Hauppauge]]

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

[[Kodicom 4400r]]

[[Kodicom 8800]]

[[Tungson TE-8008]]

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

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

[[Osprey 100]]

[[Provideo PV- series (Bluecherry)]] [http://store.bluecherry.net/SearchResults.asp?Cat=63&Click=51]

[[TView 95/99]]

[[Videocards with Philips saa7134 chipset]]

[[WinFast TV2000 XP]]

[[Rapid OS]]

== 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]] - options bttv card=77,77,77,77,77,77,77,77. The card is supplied with D-sub to 8 BNC connector with the connectors labelled VID1, AUD1, VID2, AUD3 etc. The /dev/video device numbering may be backwards such that /dev/video7 is VID1, /dev/video6 -> VID2, 5 -> 3, 4 -> 4, /dev/video3 -> AUD1 etc.

'''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.

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

== 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.

*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.

== 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 Communicate STX/Deluxe, and [[Logitech Webcam Pro 9000]]

*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.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
