Can Zoneminder decode this natively ? If it's MJPEG, then yes it should. How sure are you that it is MJPEG? Name the model and manufacturer, someone might be able to confirm whether it is "expected" to work :) I can't name the manufacturer - it's a Chinese no-name jobbie. The closest I can come is ...

Thanks, but no joy

Have been using ZM for over a year with a cheap IP camera from Amazon. Decided to buy another. It works fine when you browse to it's own webserver page: http://<cameraip>/index.htm. This shows the picture fine. Digging into the page source shows the video feed comes from /videostream.cgi?loginuse ...

I've got a single camera setup with 2 zones.

Is it possible to filter events captured in MoDetect based on which of the zones caused the alarm ?

ZM is happily logging motion events with the correct date & time. However, if there's a signal loss, it logs it with a date/time in 1970 (which IIRC is what a zero equates to in UNIX time). Is this a config thing, something camera specific (although it's hard to see how, by definition on signal loss ...

OMK, fixed the zmfix.cpp error.

Am now back to getting "file or directory" not found from zmcontrol.pl

Anyone ?

OK, I managed to get a NULL into the database, and now there are no errors from zmfix.cpp.

Which means I am now back to http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 14&t=19671

Having spent a frustrating day trying to control my wireless IP camera (see hardware forum) I believe I have encountered a bug in zmfix.cpp - it could be faulty understanding on my part, if so I apologise. The issue surrounds an error that was appearing in my logs: 09/18/12 19:35:27.771420 zmfix ...

OK: have looked into zmfix.cpp, and it's trying to do this: select distinct Device from Monitors where not isnull(Device) and Type = 'Local' and then fixDevice() the results. Clearly *something* is borked, as the record in the database has "http" for 'Device' and "Remote" for 'Type'. Anyone ?

UPDATE: I turned debug up to 9, and looked in the logs. I was intrigued to discover the following line: 09/18/12 19:02:23.118936 zmfix[22900].ERR-zmfix.cpp/40 [Can't stat 192.168.10.200: No such file or directory] now 192.168.10.200 is the "control address" I set in the "Control" tab. And sure ...

OK, final update. I *think* the problem is simply that ZM isn't connecting to the camera to control it. I get the same errors, irrespective of WHAT I put in "device address". Which seems to imply that either that field isn't being updated properly (although it seems to save OK). Or that there's ...

Another update ... it seems the IE8 user-agent is a red herring. For some reason I can get it to work from Chrome now, without fiddling with the user-agent ....

Brief update.

I can control the camera from Chrome, if I sign in using the "manual settings" and choose either "server push" OR "server refresh" option.

Now to dig out Fiddler and see what's going on.

Purchased a no-name wireless IP camera via Amazon. Connecting to it directly, it works 100%, via IE with an ActiveX.
