Put the IP-address of your camera in the 'control address field'. Have you editted all name/password entries in the .pm file? Diagnosing: First try to execute the control command from the commandline. For example: /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --id=1 --command=moveConUp Where 1 = your monitor ID. If ...

Maybe a typo in the script,
Try: killall zmcontrol.pl

Symptoms: Cannot get PT(Z) control to work "Can't connect: Connection refused" logged My findings: When running zmcontrol manually, there are more details shown: /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --id=9 --command=moveConDown Can't connect: Connection refused at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder/Debug ...

Doesn't help. I tried all PAL/SECAM/NTSC options.

I'm having a hard time to get it running.. To debug it I try to run it from the commandline: /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --id=9 --command=moveConDown It fails with: Can't connect: Connection refused at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder/Debug.pm line 349 ZoneMinder::Debug::Fatal('Can\'t connect ...

I used the LD_PRELOAD trick, to no avail. Tried all these lines (one by one of course): $ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so'; $ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2compat.so'; $ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so'; $ENV{LD_PRELOAD} = '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ...

Yeah, and make sure the cgi-bin scripts are accessible (with the right permissions set, try to open it directly, eg: http://yoursite/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=4&scale=100&maxfps=5&buffer=1000&connkey=103241&rand=1272449527 Also make sure your camera config is correct (Source tab). Eg. try a ...

That solution doesn't work for me. Does anybody with a pwc camera has it working with ZoneMinder 1.24?? To me it looks like a YUV420P palette option is missing for V4L V2.

I have the same problem with my Philips PCVC740K camera, see this topic . I can confirm that adding the LD_PRELOAD line doesn't solve the green screen: when using 'Video for Linux v 2' as capture mode it still shows the green screen. When using v 1 it still crashes with 'zmc -d /dev/video0' exited ...

Assuming you have apache2 and php5 already installed... Create /etc/zypp/repos.d/ZoneMinder_repository.repo with this contents: name=ZoneMinder repository enabled=1 autorefresh=1 baseurl=http://tracker.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Monex:/stable/openSUSE_11.2/ path=/ type=rpm-md keeppackages=0 ...

Hi, I've got a Philips PCVC740K ToUCam Pro USB webcam. When taking snapshots with v4l (v4lctl -c /dev/video0 snap jpeg full ./v4l.jpg) it looks good: see this pic (made in complete darkness) When using it in ZoneMinder it looks like this ZM->Monitor->Source: Video For Linux version 2 (with version 1 ...
