Great that you got it to work:) I have noe experience with ptz, so you should make a new thread for that one...

What does the log say now?

Ok. Then you have to put 640 as capture width and 480 as capture height in source.

What is the pixel width and height of the image that shows up in firefox?

If the camera is set up to use a different port than 80 with http, then you must provide that information to the browser. You do that by following the ip address with ":<portnumber>" so type this in the firefox address field: http://<cameraIP>:88/videostream.cgi?user=<cameraUserName>&pwd ...

You get some webpage you don't know about when you enter http://192.168.1.200:88/videostream.cgi?user=&pwd= Was the computer with firefox connected to the correct network at the time? Were you connected to some sort of virtual private network? That ip address, 192.168.1.200, is part of a range ...

Open a firefox window and type in the link:
http://cameraip/videostream.cgi?user=<c ... raUserName>
If you get an image, check the resolution of the image, and put the same width and height values in zoneminder.
If you don't get an image, what did you get instead?

I have limited experience with vivotec, but two fisheye cameras I tried had problems keeping up the stream when the resolution got too big. And the "no framerate in zoneminder" thing may not work, if the camera isn't feeding the image data as a stream of continuous data. If it is just a single frame ...

Foscam does not seem to us basic http authentication, according to this page: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Foscam In stead it wants the username and password in a get query string, witch is the stuff after the question mark. path: /videostream.cgi?user=yourcamerausername&pwd ...

What type of source do you use? remote or ffmpeg? What happens to the ram while the cpu is running at full, and you are getting those buffer overrun errors? My best guess: I would think, that if you use a jpeg source on a remote source, and don't set fps in zoneminder, then zoneminder will try to ...

My best guess is that nobody answered because nobody who read your post knew how to help you. As I read your post, my only idea was to suggest the solution you found yourself. As far as I've read, there has been troubles making zoneminder 1.26 and later work with ubuntu 13.04 or later. Something ...

Open the monitor setup, with the link under "source" in console. Click the tab "misc". You find default scale near the bottom.

In the options, you can set the command line for ffmpeg. This is where you may enter codec information, encoding profile and such. There is also a textbox for video format. This is the filetype you want to be available. The first file format with a star beside it, seems to be chosen for file format ...

what kind of video files are you creating? Lets say you make .mp4 files. You can then type: find /var/www/html/zm/events/ | grep "\.mp4" it should provide you with the path to each .mp4 file in any subdirectory of /var/www/html/zm/events/ The command may take some time to finish, as it is actually ...

Sorry, my bad. The path is "/var/cache/zoneminder/events/". It is just full of forlders representing the monitor numbers, and symlinks to the folders, named by the monitor name. The path format of the event folders are "monitor_id/year/month/day/hour/minute/second/". The date and time of the start ...
