Thanks -- I found some info here, the CGI interface.. It's in chinese but you can copy paste to google translate

Many thanks. It has that Eye4 android application. From what I can tell, it sends the command just like the /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/ZoneMinder/Control/Vstarcam_C24S.pm seems to do.. This is captured using wireshark using Eye4: 06590198.226603574192.168.1.60192.168.1.14HTTP270GET /decoder ...

Unfortunately I tried the above setup on a Vstarcam C29, but it does not control it..
Something must have changed in their API..

Might help or not. I found the "openstep=0" or 1 was required to get controls to work.

Sorry, where did you put the openstep command?

Thank you very much - great write-up..

Hello. this is Fedora 25, Zoneminder 1.30.4-1

there is no option in the camera's settings.

Hello.. Does anyone know how to control the C29A? I tried a few Control Types, the camera does not respond to them..

Hello. The new cameras I bought (the latest being Vstarcam C29A) have either snapshot.cgi interface (640x480 resolution), or RTSP streaming. Since the snapshot resolution is unacceptable, I am forced to go the RTSP route. I am unable to throttle the camera down to say 5FPS. It streams at 15FPS ...

Hi there. Under Fedora 25, and I have all the -devel packages I can think of, but still there is no openssl.h on the systems I manage.. When I try to build zoneminder as I always did, I get: Determining if the include file gnutls/openssl.h exists failed with the following output: Change Dir: /home ...

Indeed - after I cleaned up my system and installed zoneminder from RPM, I had nothing else to do - not even the stuff in the README.

UPDATE: I had source-installed stuff from an older installation, and after Fedora "upgraded" zoneminder, some remained, hence the troubles. I did a fresh install; removed everything with dnf uninstall zoneminder, and then searching the disk for remains. Dropped the database, and reinstalled from RPM ...

Thank you very much for your reply. Here is how it went: systemctl restart zoneminder said it failed, upon examining the logs I found that it had upgraded itself to 1.30. (I had tried the zmupgrade.pl two days ago after I experienced the problems; but it had said that the database was the same ...

PS: There is NOTHING in the logs; even after enabling debug and setting it to the maximum level..

After I did an:
# /usr/bin/zmdc.pl stop
# /usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup
now it's worse:
# ps ax|grep zm

13472 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto zm
