IP7131

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

IP7132

ZM >= v1.24.2

There seems to be an issue with ZoneMinder on a 64bit and compatibility with the Vivotek IP7132. I experienced the same issues as laid out here: Vivotek 7138 issue.

After starting up, the extended debug file starts showing an infinite list of "SSRC not found" warnings - and no image... For example: ... 05/23/10 21:28:05.791151 zmc_m7[-1].WAR-zm_rtp_data.cpp/57 [Discarding packet for unrecognised ssrc 1a5e6cff]
05/23/10 21:28:05.792924 zmc_m7[-1].WAR-zm_rtp_data.cpp/57 [Discarding packet for unrecognised ssrc 7634dde9]
05/23/10 21:28:05.794959 zmc_m7[-1].WAR-zm_rtp_data.cpp/57 [Discarding packet for unrecognised ssrc 4cba154d]
...

People do report that this is only when ZM is running on a 64 bit platform.

< 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).

>= v1.24.2

Also be aware of Vivotek IP7138 issue where people report issues with this camera when ZM runs on a 64 bit platform.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

ZM v1.24.2

RTSP
Source Type: Ffmpeg
Source Path : rtsp://useer:pass@x.x.x.x/live.sdp

Works pretty good, decent image via ffmpeg and RTSP, but not a consistent 30fps, more like in the mid 20's with a wired connection. Only got about 5fps via WiFi, and that was with it less then about 8 feet from the 802.11g 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 and it's PoE so that's a plus. So it needs at least one wire either way. (Laptop has no problem through that same wall and is even farther away.)

Wrote a web based interface to control the PTZ it's available here: http://www.curtronics.com/ftp/vtek-ptz/vtek-ptz.html /
