No Problem glad to help you Good Luck with Zoneminder, it tooks me about 4 Weeks to understand and install the last version 1.25.0 in the right way. For Beginners it is really a pain,but i think you will "ride this beast". And please use FFMpeg <= 1.0.7. Higher Versions will not compile with Zoneminder.

Please try to remove the leading "rtsp://" in Remote Host Name. But i recommend to use FFmeg. That will work (if you installed FFmpeg on your System and compile Zoneminder with FFmpeg support)

I have the same Model and there are no Problems with Zoneminder. Did you have your Username and Password in the RTSP URI configured? In Zoneminder select Ffmpeg for Source Type and in the Source Tab: Source Path: rtsp://admin:12345@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:554/Streaming/Channels/2 In the above example Username is admin and Password is 12345 replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the IP-Adress of your IPCam Please also note that you take the correct Zoneminder Parameters for your chosen IPCam Stream [in the the above example it is the Sub Stream (/Channels/2). You find them in the Hikvision Webinterface under Configuration|Advanced Configuration|Video/Audio/Stream Type] And very important to, you have to select the same values for FPS, Width and Height in Zonemminder as the configured in the Hikvision Webinterface (also find under Configuration|Advanced Configuration|Video/Audio/Stream Type). Hope that helps

i spend the whole weekend for researching the HFW3200S and DS-2CD2032-I. i read the reviews in networkcameracritic for the corresponding models (SWANN 820HD and HFW3200C), searched in forums like cam-it, cctvforum etc. and tried to compare the footage that i found for both cameras. but at this point my mind tends to a buffer overflow error. i can get the DS-2CD2032-I for 130$ and the HFW3200S for 155$. despite the lack of dahua support, what is the better choice for the best picture quality in day and infrared conditions? can someone please enlighten my brain...(especially mr. buellwinkle or MaxIcon)?
