DLink is a supplier of several IP Cameras. Not all work with ZoneMinder. 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).
DCS-900
There are 2 versions of this camera. The "A" version is reported to work extremely well with ZoneMinder. The "B" version also works, but has a been reported to have lesser performance. I have been able to get upto 8 fps with my revision "B" camera.
Source Type: Remote Remote Host Name: IP Address of Camera Remote Host Port: 80 (Default) Remote Host Path: /VIDEO.CGI or /IMAGE.JPEG (/VIDEO.CGI is the MJpeg stream, and gets higher FPS in my testing)
With the latest versions of the DCS-900 "B" there is an additional step needed in the "Options > Network" section of ZoneMinder.

Note: you must change Network -> ZM_HTTP_VERSION option to 1.0 for this camera to work!

Incompatible Hardware
I know that the DCS-1110 is not compattible with ZoneMinder, as it requires ActiveX to recive the MJpeg stream.
If you know of other DLink cameras that don't work, please add them to the list!
DCS-950 not compatible. Mpeg stream. Authentication is OCX application based, not web standard authentication. JPG file generated at random url, not predictable.
