HBW4PER2

camera works quite well

High resolution stream: rtsp://192.168.xx.yy:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

Low resolution stream: rtsp://192.168.xx.yy:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

I am using the H264 format and TCP Frame rate, resolution and bit rate is set on the camera itself. Stable for me is H264H, Smart Codec OFF and CBR.

Changing settings to H265 can sometimes cause the connection to drop out and restarting the camera is necessary to resume operation. It is stable as long as you don't do this.

onvif url is:

HD3MDIP

camera works out of the box with these settings

source type: ffmpeg
protocol: udp
path: rtsp://<ipaddress>:554/cam1/mpeg4
width: 1280
height: 720

tcp works, but has blue screen drop outs periodically (at 6fps). No credentials are required to view the stream, by default. Default login is administrator/1234

To view the camera webpage, requires ie. ie needs an active x plugin but this fails to dl on win7. dl it manually

http://<ipaddressofcamera>/HD3MDIP.cab      (caps req'd).

then extract (winrar can extract) and run

the program requires UAC disabled to install (it will notify you of this) so disable uac manually (win7)

hklm/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/policies/system
change EnableLUA to 0
or add it with 0 if it doesnt exist.

then reboot

after that it should install (did for me) and while the live video didn't load i was able to change the frame rate to something reasonable (6). Note that ffmpeg was able to handle the 30FPS pretty well. but this was with a 1.30.4 install, so didn't want to overload it. later ZM can probably use passthrough here. camera quality: ok. (using ffmpeg) BUT periodic blue screen drop outs at 6 FPS and TCP. I later changed to UDP which resolved this.

i checked ispy for jpeg paths... nothing worked. tried them all. tried 2nd monitor 640x320 and still dropouts occurred.

source type: libVLC

didn't work. gave a null error trying to start vlc

source type: Remote

works for a bit like ffmpeg, though when blue screen appears, it doesn't reconnect, just bails. (tcp). did not try udp.

overall, it works, but setup requires windows, and is a hassle. requiring windows , i'd give this a 6 or 7/10. functional, but not perfect.
