This is the recommended source type for most modern ip cameras.
Source Path
Use this field to enter the full URL of the stream or file. Look in Supported Hardware > Network Cameras section, how to obtain these strings that may apply to your camera. RTSP streams may be specified here.
Use this field to enter the full URL of the stream or file your camera supports. This is usually an RTSP url. There are several methods to learn this:
* Check the documentation that came with your camera
* Look for your camera in the hardware compatibilty list in the wiki http://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibilty_List
* Try ZoneMinder's new ONVIF probe feature
* Download and install the ONVIF Device Manager onto a Windows machine https://sourceforge.net/projects/onvifdm/
* Use Google to find third party sites, such as ispy, which document this information
Source Colours
