You might just want to write a quick shell script

in the case of an axis network camera
just wget http://ip/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi
then get a date/time string and append that to the file name

then just cron that script ever five minutes.

I am doing that for some thing like what you want to do.

Try turning off: ZM_STRICT_VIDEO_CONFIG.

I don't have lame support in my install. Check where the libmp3lam.so.0 file is. Copy it to /usr/local/lib or what ever other lib search path.

Can you post your errors that are still left after that.

To fix the shared memory error look at this FAQ entry:

http://www.zoneminder.com/index.php?id= ... faq_faq=10

That will fix it. Stop zm make cat the values to proc and then start zm again.
Don't forget to change the kernel start up values.

Well can you send me the patch to:
sgocken at icsincorporated dot com

I would like to see how it works with the jpg stream. The mpeg stream is using way too much CPU.
I am going to have about 36 cameras running on this server.
And 640 x 480 is a requirement.

Well I made the change in ZM. I can't find a place to change the frame rate in the Axis 2100.

I turned the frame rate down, but I am now getting about 2 minutes of lag time on the live view.

Well changing to the mpeg stream seems to have stopped the jpeg errors.
The capture daemon is using alot more CPU using the mpeg stream.
Well I am going to add a bunch more cameras to this system and see how it works.

Well I have 2 gig of RAM. I tried setting it to 50000, But I am still getting that error.
What are you using for the buffer size?

Could it be too big? I set that to 134217728, which is the same as my shared memory. But then I read that closer and set it the same as my wmem_max. We will see if that fixes it.

I am just using the jpeg stream. I would be happy to try the patch. I have both Axis 2100s and Axis 205s to test with. Just e-mail it to me. Thanks

My second problem. (Created 2 threads) Based on what I have read The Corrupt JPEG lines mean that it can't stream the images fast enough. But, this seems strange to me. I have tried this on 2 different Axis 2100s. Both show this error. The first was also being accessed by different server software ...

Great product. One problem I keep seeing in the logs is: Jul 12 14:55:38 cameras zmf-m1[3418]: ERR [Incomplete read of frame image data, 32496 bytes only] Jul 12 14:55:39 cameras zma-m1[3422]: ERR [Can't write frame: Broken pipe] Jul 12 14:55:39 cameras zmf-m1[3418]: INF [Frame server socket open ...
