 Camera Probing If you have updated an SVN version of 1.24 today you may have noticed a new proto-feature. If you create a new monitor you will see a 'probe' link next to the 'presets' one. This generates a little popup which attempts to auto-detect any analog video devices on your system and network cameras on your LAN and suggest suitable defaults to allow quick 'one click' type configuration.
Currently it isn't hugely sophisticated and the network camera detection is limited to only those types I know about (Axis, Panasonic and ACTi) so I am looking for some help in figuring out the rest.
The initial detection is done on MAC addresses returned from an ARP query. This then suggests possible IPs to probe. I know about a few MAC ranges but need to try and figure out some more. So I would be grateful if people could post the first 3 or 4 tuples of camera MAC addresses and the results of the queries listed below. This will help me set up a more comprehensive detection system
Here's what I have at the moment, which isn't a lot
Axis
MAC - 00:40:8c
Query1 - /axis-cgi/admin/param.cgi?action=list&group=Brand
Query2 - /axis-cgi/admin/param.cgi?action=list&group=Properties.Firmware
Panasonic
MAC - 00:80:f0
Query1 - /Get?Func=Model&Kind=1 (newer firmware only?)
Query2 - /Get?Func=CameraName&Kind=1 (newer firmware only?)
ACTi
MAC - 00:0f:7c
Query1 - /cgi-bin/system?USER=Admin&PWD=123456&SYSTEM_INFO (change username and password as appropriate)
If anyone can help put some more flesh on these bones I would be very grateful. In the meantime have a play with the probe facility and see if it works for you.

This could be huge with my wireless mesh cctv system. I'll try and help out in anyway possible.

If you have any cameras at all and know a good way to detect them then that will be useful, I don't, for instance, have any recent USB cameras so I don't know what they return if you run zmu --device --query against them. Maybe they play ball, maybe not. So at the very least try the latest zmu and see what you get.

The vendor-to-MAC question could be answered by a site like this:
http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/
It might help you get started anyway; I use it from time to time.

We need the MAC address in correlation with the working path string folks. We already know about the IEEE and comments are not going to get us anywhere.
Thanks.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your request. I saw this but the rest didn't sink in. Pre-coffee...

Not to be a Debbie Downer but, the information does us no good unless we have a working configuration to go with the Manufacture, model, MAC, etc..

Re: PANASONIC WV-...
I should add the following note ... I tried the RTSP mode with the camera and zoneminder 1.24.1 and can't make it work -- I already posted a msg in the 1.24.1 forum regarding this issue.

The presets for the Axis cameras are the way to go. Choose your preset, then insert the IP in the source tab, and you should be good to go.
