Advice for monitoring ip cameras

Hi,

I’m new and I just freshly installed LibreNMS server for my needs. My need is very simple but I would like use the simplest and best way, which is why I turn to you. I have about 100 cameras of this brand https://www.indigovision.com/fr/produits/cameras-et-encodeurs/cameras-bx/

I would like to setting two protocols:

  • ICMP (1 ping every 5 minutes for example)
  • HTTP service (check every 5 minutes)

It’s all!

all your advice are welcome

Bonjour

The 1st part, ICMP, is built in. Just add the device to Libre (with SNMP disabled) and you’ll get it.
The 2nd can be done manually (100 times) or with the new service templates that are being developped these days. Seems that stability is not there yet so you should probably wait a few more days/weeks to get it right.

Bonne soirée

Salut @PipoCanaja,

Thank you for your speed. I opt to wait for the new functionality for a while.
In the meantime, can I still start adding my devices?

Thanks!

of course you can. Cameras may be autodiscovered (via ARP for instance) so you can let LibreNMS add them. Check if the cameras have SNMP support. If yes, you may be able to do your checks via SNMP
