Anyone with a working 820A setup they can share? I can't get the Main (hi res) stream working on the Reolink 820A to ZoneMinder. I have this setup running on an i3 4130 with 3 reolink cameras and 2 more no name cameras and my CPU usage is about 40-60%. Whenever motion is detected on the substream zoneminder triggers the main stream to also record giving you high quality footage of the event but not filling up you disk with 24h 4k footage.
#Zoneminder onvif 480p#
Zoneminder will run motion detection on the low quality sub stream, saving you CPU from a lot of work.Ī 24h low quality recording of the substream is saved by zoneminder saving you diskspace (for me 1day worth of 480p recording is about 2GB) Under storage its important to set the “Video Writer” to h264 passthrough.Īll the rest is again personal preference.Ĭlick save and check if you can access your main stream as well. On the source tab now add the rtmp url for the main stream. This insures, that motion trigger on the substream will also trigger a recording on the main stream. Linked Monitors: Here select the “Front Garden Sub” we just set up. This is important as only with Nodect will Zoneminder not run analysis on the 4k stream, thus saving your CPU a lot of work. For me this is Front Garden Main.įunction: Nodect. If so: Good lets continue with the main stream. The other tabs are all down to your personal preference.Ĭlick save and check if you can see the video coming from the camera inside ZM. This will have zoneminder save the camera feed without transcoding, which once again is VERY CPU instensive.
Under storage its important to set the “Video Writer” to h264 passthrough. On the source tab add the rtmp url for the substream.Ĭapture Resolution: Set this to the same resolution you have set on the reolink cam. This allows me to have 24h low resolution recordings of the substream and in turn triggers the main stream to record once motion is actually detected. Under General give the camera a recognizable name. So we will setup the sub stream for the motion detection and then trigger the main stream to record this movement.Ĭlick on “Add” in the Zoneminder Console: Now why do we need both the sub and the main stream? Zoneminder does image processing to recognize movement and then trigger recordings.ĭoing this on a 4k stream is VERY CPU intensive. So in this case the URL for the Main Stream is: Here is reolinks documentation on the rtmp stream: Luckily someone on the zoneminder forum discovered that reolink also outputs rtmp streams which work a lot better. This is more than enough for my purposes.įor the source path you would normally chose the rtsp streams however I and many others had some issues using the rtsp streams in zoneminder as I had frequent smearing on my rtsp stream.
My main stream is 10fps my substream only 7. I suggest lowering the fps as this saves a ton of bandwidth.
#Zoneminder onvif how to#
If not check out these great tutorials on how to get zoneminder running: Īdding Reolink Cameras to Zoneminder is pretty easy as they support the onvif standard and provide both rtmp and rtsp streams (more on that later)įirst make sure you know the IP of your Reolink cameras in your network.įor me its 10.10.30.13 as my cameras reside on a separate vlan which has internet access disabled for security reasons and paranoia 😉Īccess you reolink admin interface and set the output of your main and substream to the desired quality. įor the sake of this tutorial I will just assume you have your zoneminder instance and your reolink cameras already set up.
#Zoneminder onvif software#
Zoneminder is a free open source NVR software which you can selfhost on your homeserver thus making you independent from cloud services.
