H.264 720p megapixel IP camera [1] .
The camera I have working successfully with Zoneminder is running the following firmware:
- Software Firmware Version 1.4.1.7
- Application Firmware Version 1.14.1.21
There are known issues with RTSP streaming on earlier firmwares than the above, with the RTSP connection become unavailable after a few hours when used with Zoneminder (or VLC, for that matter). This often requires a soft or hard reboot of the camera to get it working again. Indeed, even with this firmware, RTSP generates errors, but I've found the following camera settings to be reliable:
- Stream Type 0
- Resolution 720P
- Bit Rate 512K
- Frame Rate 10
You may get away with a higher Bit and Frame Rate but, using Zoneminder 1.26.3, I find I get smearing with anything much above what's listed here.
It's also worth noting that the camera halves the Frame Rate when it switches to night view, so the above will give 5fps when it gets dark.
