Don't worry, it's not you, seems there is an issue (my guess) with Ubuntu 11 and ZM. At least me and one other person are having/had the same problem you are. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18581 http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18562 I'm sitting down now ...

Yeah, I thought it might be a permission problem too, the instructions I used said it should be 755. But I tried 777 just to cover all the bases. I cant imagine it being an issue with the file ownership, but maybe. Ps -aux shows all the zm related processes running as either root or www-data. The ...

I'm seeing the same issues with PZT not working and nothing in the error logs also. For a laugh you can read my post on my FoscamFI8918W. :) Might be doing a new linux install this weekend with centos or another flavor to see if that fixes the issue. Maybe something with the latest Ubuntu is causing ...

uvcstreamer has been replaced by mjpg_streamer, but yeah that's the trick with the uvc linux driver cams. I've had mixed success, one worked fine with mjpg-streamer, the other zm didnt like at all, complained of errors in the video stream.
Good luck!

So when you configured the monitor for control in the ZM web console, did you select a pre-existing Control Type, or add one of your own? If you added one of your own, go back and check the Control Capabilities and make sure you have values for in the zoom, iris, etc, tabs. (Open the cam monitor ...

Hi, been playing around with the control again. I reloaded the script from the durdle web site, <url to durdle site removed because forum bot thinks it's spam>, to make sure I hadn't muffed it somehow. I just load it up in web browser, copy it to the clipboard and paste into vi. I've done this a lot ...

Hey, I've seen "zmcontrol[803]: FAT [Can't connect: No such file or directory]" when my .pm file had a package name that differs from the actual .pm file name. Ie: in /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/ I renamed my pm file from FoscamFI8918W.pm to Foscam.pm, I then had to change this line in the ...

Ok, I've spent some time with wireshark and I'm convinced that ZM is not sending the commands to move the camera. First I captured moving the cam with the built-in web gui and see packets containing /decoder_control.cgi?command=#. Ah ha! A web search and I found the IPCAM SDK and this is starting to ...

hello all, I can't get panning and tilting working with my FoscamFI8918W. Running ZM1.24.4 on Ubuntu 11.4, all yum installed and working fine with a USB cam and a Trendnet wifi cam. Video is working for the Foscam8918 in ZM. Using the cam web interface, panning and tilting works fine. I followed the ...
