HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I camera Post by swulf » Sat Aug 29, 2015 8:40 pm

I have got the HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I IP camera (Amazon) to work well with Zoneminder V1.28.1. I'm documenting this here as I can't seem to create a page on the forum.

The firmware of the camera I have is V5.2.5 build 141201, as reported by its internal webpage. I did not update the camera firmware as it works just fine.

My Zoneminder monitor settings are as follows.

General tab: Source Type: Ffmpeg Maximum FPS: Not Set Source tab: Source Path: rtsp://username:password@camera_ip_address/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 Remote Method: RTP/RTSP Options: Empty Target Colorspace: 24 bit colour Capture Width (pixels): 1920 Capture Height (pixels): 1080 Preserve Aspect Ratio: Not Checked Orientation: Normal Deinterlacing: Disabled Setting up the camera itself is fairly straightforward. As supplied, its IP address is 192.0.0.64. All the camera configuration tasks can be performed through the inbuilt web interface that can be accessed by pointing a browser at the camera's IP address. The supplied user name is admin and the default password is 12345. What's convenient is that you can log in to the camera from another machine on the network even when the camera is connected to Zoneminder, so minor configuration changes are made easier (you don't have to disconnect the camera).

If anyone has any questions about my experience with this camera, or needs more details, I am happy to provide.

Thanks to the help I've received from members of this forum, I have got this far! =D
