This is how I got my Geovision GV-CAW220 IP Camera working in Zoneminder.
Step 1) Follow instructions here to install H264 for Zoneminder if you don't already have RTSP streams working in Zoneminder.
Step 2) Add the camera to Zoneminder:
i) Create a new monitor and choose source as ffmpeg
ii) Click on source tab, add rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.120:8554/CH001.sdp?tcp to the source(change your IP as neccessary on your network, and your username and password.
iii) Colours is 24 bit, Width is 1920, Height is 1080, Click save and it should now work. Please note if you want to use the Sub stream change the CH001 from 001 to 000.
Please note, with motion detection recording to SD card of the camera and zoneminder streaming ON simultaneously I get RTSP drop outs. I had to disable Audio and change monitoring mode to scheduled. If you have found a way to avoid video dropouts in ZM when using RTSP please let me know. Or at-least an auto reconnect feature.
This should also work with GV-CB120, GV-CB120W, GV-CB220, GV-CBW220 and other Geovision IP Cameras in Zoneminder. Please leave a comment if it worked for other cameras so I can list them here.
