Elphel cameras and Zoneminder

We plan to make model 353 camera work with Zoneminder

Several ways may be considered:

• imgsrv have the possibility to send MJPEG stream over HTTP
• the RTP/RTSP streamer can be used with MPlayer and  AVLD
• or the best way: RTP/RTSP integration in ZoneMinder

Configuring Elphel cameras and ZoneMinder

Using ccam.cgi to configure your monitor

Using the ccam.cgi to grap a snapshot in ZoneMinder works well. You will be able to easily implement this. Keep in mind that ZoneMinder has no facilities to determine the image size so this must be manually set in ZoneMinder to match the image being sent by the camera. Alternatively you can set the image dimensions in the path in ZM which would be preferred just in case for some reason someone changes the dimensions on the camera it self which would make ZM unable to process the images. These are my findings after having a go of it for a half hour: Using Ccam.cgi. ccam.cgi will soon be depreciated in favor of imgsrv.

Using " /admin-bin/ccam.cgi?opt=vhcxy " as your path in ZoneMinders Monitor configuration ( Keep in mind that I am using the sandbox camera so I'm not going to bother benchmarking )

Using ImgSrv to configure your monitor

Currently working to implement.
