Here is how to stream Zoneminder video stream through VLC. This is similar to my post of streaming ip camera's to VLC, however now your streaming it from Zoneminder with the time date stamp.
Open a new text file and enter the following:
http://zoneminder-server-ip/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=10&buffer=1000&user=username&password=password
Dont forget to change the ip to your zoneminder server ip, and the username and password. I recommend creating a non admin account for this. and monitor=1 to the camera you want to view from ZM. 1 would be the first camera hover over the camera url in ZM to find out the monitor ID.
Save the file as ZMStream.asf and play it with VLC. Thats it!! Now you have a camera stream in VLC with ZM Timestamp.

I only get, "Your input can't be opened:

Where is the log?
Make sure there are no spaces in the URL, I can see(from viewing your comment full screen) that you have a space between cgi-bin. also make sure the monitor # is correct.
DeleteIf you need the log file search your pc for vlc-log.txt.
Does not work.
ReplyDeleteIt should probably have something like: ...&auth=...&connkey=...
it works fine for me :-) thanks
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to change "monitor=19" from url to your monitor number.
ReplyDeleteCan mode be changed to mpeg to stream video a little faster? I have mjpeg working but my network hates me for it!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure, haven’t tried it. Give it a go and let us know how it works. Also, look into stream H264 this will definitely cut bandwidth.
