Works pretty good, decent image via ffmpeg and RTSP, but not a consistent 30fps, more like in the mis 20's with a wired connection. Only got about 5fps via WiFi, and that was with it less then about 8 feet from the access point through one wall so using it via WiFi is a wash. But that's why I wanted one that was also wired as a fallback. (Laptop has no problem through that same wall and is even farther away.)

ZM < v. 1.24

In versions of ZoneMinder prior to 1.24, the only way to use the Vivotek 7131 camera was by streaming the snapshot (which gives you an inconsistent FPS of 1 - 3). Use /cgi-bin/video.jpg as the Remote Host Path (Under Source).

ZM >= v. 1.24

Starting with version 1.24 of ZoneMinder, RTSP is supported. As the Vivotek 7131 camera supports RTSP, we can now make full use of this camera. I have successfully setup a a Vivotek 7131 on an Ubuntu 8.10 Server using RTSP at 640x480, 24-bit color and streaming at 20FPS using RTSP. To make this work, use the following settings:

Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP
Remote Host Name: x.x.x.x
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /live.sdp
Remote Host SubPath: /trackID=
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels): 640
Capture Height (pixels): 480	

IP7138

< v. 1.24

In versions of ZoneMinder prior to 1.24, the only way to use the Vivotek 7138 camera was by streaming the snapshot (which gives you an inconsistent FPS of 1 - 3). Use /cgi-bin/viewer/video.jpg as the Remote Host Path (Under Source).
