Camera compatibility
Zora shows any network camera that serves an RTSP stream, and moves any camera that takes ONVIF pan, tilt and zoom. The brand matters only where a camera has no stream to give.

What the three answers mean
- Works with Zora. Zora drives this.
- Not supported. Zora cannot drive this. It is still visible on the bus.
- On the roadmap. Not built yet. It is on the list, with no date.
- Works, untested. Built, and not yet checked on a boat. Works, partly untested. The row names what has not been checked.
Any IP camera with RTSP or ONVIF
Works with Zora. Live video from any camera that serves RTSP on the boat network, and pan, tilt, zoom and presets on a camera that takes them over ONVIF.
Not yet tested on a boat: Zora pans, tilts and zooms the camera.
Models: any network camera serving RTSP, any ONVIF camera. Also called: ip camera, rtsp, onvif, network camera, poe camera, hikvision, dahua, axis.
IP cameras from other makers
Works with Zora. Most of their network cameras serve RTSP, which is how Zora shows a camera. The camera's own documentation says whether a model does.
Reported working on a boat, not yet tested by us.
Models: Amcrest, Axis, Bosch, Dahua, Foscam, Hanwha Techwin, Hikvision, Lorex, Milesight, Panasonic, Sony, TP-Link, Uniview, Vivotek. Also called: hikvision, axis, dahua, amcrest, rtsp camera.
Reolink wired cameras
Works with Zora. Live video over RTSP. The spotlight, siren and two-way audio are driven by Reolink's own interface and are not in Zora yet. RTSP and ONVIF must be switched on in the camera.
Not yet tested on a boat: Zora pans, tilts and zooms the camera.
Models: CX410, RLC series, Duo, TrackMix, E1 Outdoor. Also called: reolink, cx410, rlc, trackmix.
Reolink battery cameras
Not supported. These cameras have no local video stream in current firmware, only Reolink's cloud, so Zora cannot show them. Choose a wired Reolink instead.
Models: Argus PT Lite, Argus PT, Argus 3, Argus 3 Pro, Argus 4, Reolink Go. Also called: argus, argus pt, reolink battery, reolink go.
Barlus CMOS 100 underwater camera
Works with Zora. Live video over RTSP. The camera's white and infrared lights sit on its pan controls, so they are switched with the pan arrows and Zora does not know whether they are on.
Models: CMOS 100. Also called: barlus, underwater camera, cmos 100.
SEA.AI
Works with Zora. Its video streams are standard RTSP and not yet tried in Zora. Detections and the Sentry's pan and tilt are not built.
Not yet tested on a boat.
Models: Sentry, Offshore, Competition. Also called: sea.ai, seaai, sea ai, oscar.
Analog cameras
Not supported. Zora takes network video only. An analog camera needs a video encoder that serves RTSP, and then it is shown like any IP camera.
Models: any composite or AHD camera. Also called: analog camera, composite camera, ahd, cvbs, backup camera.
A camera that is not on this page
A camera that is not listed here is unknown, not incompatible. This page says what has been checked, and nothing has been checked about the rest.
Contact support with the make and the model of the camera, and whether it is wired or runs on a battery.
