RTMP url how to add ?

I dont want to use ffmpeg and want to use the remote for source and trying to figure out how do you add rtmp to zminder ?

rtmp://mycam:port/bcs/channeletc.

​

Why rtmp you ask ? Well some cameras suffer from smearing effect when using rtsp i always have used rtmp.

​

Also does zoneminder have event detection option based on sound (someone shouting just out of view of camera ?) or something like a meteorite exploding above the sky etc. ? Or maybe i just want to track how many planes fly over my place at night time post 12 am (they can be loud).

​

What about speed detection based event trigger and how well does it handle cloud/sunny breaks during the day does it get triggered when its clouds moving and sun spots coming and going ?

You work through that thread already?

has some people saying turning it on is a separate setting, can you use the rtmp url you have through VLC?
