Amcrest IPM-741

[sham2017]

What are the camera settings for an Amcrest IPM-741 network camera on Motion Eye? On Zoneminder (ver 1.29.0), the options that work are Source type=Ffmpeg, Source=rtsp://[user]:[password]@[lan ip address]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&unicast=true&proto=Onvif, Remote Method=RTP/Unicast. On Motion Eye, I entered "rtsp://[lan ip address]:554" for the URL, and entered the user name and password. It accepted the camera addition, but it doesn't stream.

I got it working with a IP2M-844E with the following URL, the user/password setup with the Amcrest View app, and choosing the UDP stream. I recommend you try the simplest API call first, test the stream, and then try different options.

rtsp://[ip]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

Thank you! @JCFerrerG, this helped me as well.

Here's my setup:

• Host OS: Centos 7
• Docker Version: 19.03.8
• Amcrest Camera Model: IP8M-2496EB (Amazon Link)
• My docker-compose.yml

  version: "3.5"
  services:
  motioneye:
  image: ccrisan/motioneye:master-amd64  # Change to ccrisan/motioneye:master-armhf for ARM chips (Pi etc.)
  network_mode: host
  volumes:
    - /etc/motioneye:/etc/motioneye
    - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    - /opt/motioneye:/var/lib/motioneye

• Adjusted my firewall rules: sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8081/udp && sudo firewall-cmd --reload
• Fired up motioneye docker-compose up -d
• Added the rtsp stream: rtsp://[ip]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 (Chose TCP)

The above worked flawlessly!

EDIT.2020.12.07.0939: When you are adding your camera, make sure to choose TCP instead of UDP as I originally stated. I find that UDP mode results in many artifacts appearing in recorded videos.
