Shen Zhen Wi8 IM61 IP Camera

I purchased a HD IP Camera from ebay, its is made by a company called Shenzhen Wi8. So I decided to post some stuff about it.

Product Model: IP1200
Hardware Version: V1.0A 

The model I have is IM61 as labeled on their website, which is an outdoor waterproof dome. Now while I did use it outside for a bit, my mount position was too low so I couldn't see all that I needed to see. This camera works good on its own, but I could not get it to work reliably or with a decent framerate in Zoneminder or iSPY.

URLS:
RTSP: rtsp://192.168.1.100/0:2080

VLC:  rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.100/0:2080

IMAGE:http://username:password@192.168.1.100/snapshot/view0.jpg 

To stream the camera in VLC using the link above see this post: Stream IP Camera via VLC 

Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I working in Zoneminder

This is how I got my Hikvision 3MP Bullet IP Camera DS-2CD2032-I working in Zoneminder.

Adding the camera to Zoneminder:
   i) Create a new monitor and choose source as ffmpeg

  ii) Click on source tab, add rtsp://username:password@192.168.1.120:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0?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(I choose 1080P mode instead of 3MP), Click save and it should now work. 

If you cannot get a live stream in Zoneminder, try to increase the shmall and shmmax values. I was not getting an image in zoneminder until increased my values to the following.

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

Now add or change the following in the file:

# Increase the maximum shared memory
   kernel.shmall = 1073741824
   kernel.shmmax = 1073741824

Save and exit, you may also need to reboot.


At this point you should have the camera working in Zoneminder, if not you may have to install H264 on your Zoneminder server by following the instructions here.

Hikvision NVR App(iVMS-4500)

Connecting to your Hikvision NVR using your phone or tablet with the Hikvision Application called iVMS-4500 and iVMS-4500 HD. This will help you remotely connect to your Hikvision NVR or DVR from the internet on your phone or tablet. If your iVMS application is crashing on your device or you cannot connect to your NVR using the application, please try the following.

Forward the following ports on your router:
Web Port         : 80
Data Port         : 8000
3G RTSP Port : 1024
RTSP Port       : 554

***Please note that forwarding ports on your router opens these ports to the world, so make sure you have a good password on your NVR and do not leave the default password. My regular disclaimer always applies; I take no responsiblity for anything.

GV-CAW220 with Zoneminder Working

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.
