Notes:

  1. For PTZ control, the user/pass combination must be an administrator on the camera. A regular view-only user will not work.
  2. An unknown-quality H.264 stream available at http://user:pass@ip.of.camera/dgh264.raw . Haven’t worked out how to get it working in zoneminder yet.
  3. Audio is available from http://user:pass@ip.of.camera/dgaudio.cgi while the accompanying video is at http://user:pass@ip.of.camera/dgvideo.cgi
  4. The DCS-5020L script was based on the Trendnet TV-IP400W control script, available at http://www.sfpeter.com/2008/07/new-trendnet-tv-ip400w-controller-for-zoneminder-123x/ . “use ZoneMinder::Debug qw(:all);” was replaced with “use ZoneMinder::Logger qw(:all);” for zoneminder 1.25 compatibility.
