you dont need to install cambazola on the client but you do need java on the client, if you use ffmpeg and then use mpeg streaming you will need media player. The only other way is to use stills and refresh say every 2-4 seconds Does it matter the type of IP cam you are using? I have the NC1600 ...

many thanks Flash!

Flash, I too am interested in the AUDIO ability of cams. I'm curious to know if this cam will send audio with MJPEG. Also, was the configuration of the audio simple? In otherwords was it all through ZM OR do I need to set it up for every machine on an individual basis? No special software needed ...

phil,

great!

I sent you an email with the link and pasword.

thanks

ok so after a little more testing I see that there is not much difference, if any, with using the streaming video vs the mjpeg. I'm trying to get rid of ALL the chop I see in MJPEG by using the streaming video. But I still see the chop in the streaming video as I do in the MJPEG. who out there has ...

HEY HEY!!!

I got it working....BUT it wants to jam all me cams into the first cam I have defined such that I see them all in a "rotating" fashion....

They seem to work individually though...

any thoughts?

this is bizarre.

thanks

ok phil I found out how to in Wiki.

it does say the patches only apply to 1.22.2 while I'm running 1.22.0...but since you "are the man" I'll go with what you tell me!

thanks

ok great.

how do I apply the patch?

I think I need it because the zm configure failed.

I see the patch in Wiki but don't know how to apply it...as in the steps to install it.

thanks

great!

so do I need to put the ffmpeg directory in a special location? Or can I put it anywhere and build from there?

I ask because I'm going through the make right now and getting lots of warnings.

thanks

YEEEHAAWWW!!!

that was easy...now I guess I need to compile ffmpeg.

Is there a site with instructions so I don't bother you with this mundane compile stuff?

thanks

thanks jameswilson, live CD, what is that? does that mean I have to put a CDROM in the computer and the live CD and it run from there? ...all of zoneminder? hmmmm seems strange. Where do I get such a CD? Is there anyone that has had success compiling ffmpeg into their distro and getting it to work ...

ok I've done a good deal of searching on this website and in general to try to understand how to get the ffmpeg stuff installed and working in my current system. I'm running suse 10.0 and ZM 1.22.0....it works great with stills and mjpeg but now I need to update to streaming video. From what I've ...

Rajkumar,

I asked this question months ago and have since got the system working great...however this type of question is too general (which is probably why no one replied.

You will need to try to be more specific.

Have you tested your card and cams by FIRST using XAWTV?

-frank

actually, I have another question:

Is there a way I can get a server (such as the LINUX box ZM is installed on) to auto-update these about:config entries?

thanks
