zmodopipe: connect Zoneminder with several DVR

Thanks to zmodopipe we can connect Zoneminder with several commercial DVR as the Zmodo ones, this is a project that have been started on the Zoneminder forum by the user Phoenix84 and has been continued on github by the user pbeyl. I'm simply copying it here for backup purposes.

Here the code of zmodopipe.c:

/*****************************************
 * Read QSee/Zmodo cameras               *
 * Forward stream to FIFO pipe           *
 * Author: Daniel Osborne                *
 * Based on IP Cam Viewer by Robert Chou *
 * License: Public Domain                *
 *****************************************/

/* Version history
 * 0.43 - 2015-06-12
 *       Added support for mEye compatible.
 * 0.42 - 2015-04-22
 *       Added support for Swann DVR8-4000 and compatible.
 * 0.41 - 2013-05-03
 *       Fixed -h option not displaying help.
 * 0.4 - 2013-04-21
 *       Add support for some Swann models
 *       Added Visionari patch by jasonblack
 *       Fix incorrect use of select timeout struct.
 * 0.3 - 2012-01-26
 *       Add support for DVR-8104UV/8114HV and CnM Classic 4 Cam DVR
 * 0.2 - 2011-11-12
 *       Got media port support working (for some models at least).
 *       Changed fork behavior to fix a bug, now parent only spawns children, it doesn't stream.
 * 0.1 - 2011-08-26
 *       Initial version, working mobile port support, but buggy

and here the code of the service to automatically boot zmodopipe, zmodopipe.service:

[Unit]
Description=Zmodopipe
After=network.agent

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/zmodopipe -s 192.168.1.110 -p 7050 -c 1 -c 2 -c 4 -c5 - n zmodo -u Admin -a password -m 5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here the steps to compile zmodopipe and install its service:

nano /tmp/zmodopipe.c
gcc -Wall /tmp/zmodopipe.c -o /usr/bin/zmodopipe
chmod +x /usr/bin/zmodopipe
nano /etc/systemd/system/zmodopipe.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable zmodopipe.service
systemctl start zmodopipe.service
