James,

I have seen similar on my cams when I have made "homebrew IR illuminators". If possible, try to "point" the LEDs more away from the camera lens.

Most likely, your LEDs are shining too close the "eye".

Hi, Yeah, jp2 is becomming more and more common. At the moment it is mostly used for medical and satellite imaging purpouses. It is also used in scientific data packaging since it is lossless http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ I think you have to download a plugin to view jp2 images in IE or FF ...

I tried with Fedora 8 and that did not work either so I reverted to FC 4.

That is a small neat "thing" when cameras only need to be controlled.

Thanks for the answer,

Hi, Which browsers support MJPEG streams directly (without any plugins) ? I noted today when I tried to view my cams with MSIE 7.0 that _SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] echoed Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Why is "Mozilla/4.0 ...

Hi James,

In my opinion, the VLC Media player is the best I have yet seen, though I don't know if it can play backwards? If not, suggest it to the coders as a new feature suggestion.

Thanks for the hint!

Yeah martymoose, it has been darn cold here for some weeks, no sign of global warming here yet, just late winter and that has happened before... Though, we should (have) take better care of our planet... I have noted that the snow during daylight blinds my B/W CAMs, I better figure out "sungalsses ...

Oh yeah James, 3x more LEDs (24VDC 2A)

HI all, Just to inspire you to do some crazy IR tests...I hope? Yeah, now 3 B/W cams streaming on FC4 128 Mb RAM, two more to go. The Back Yard cam I powered with this IR-torch 240 (and some) HSDL-4230 LEDs http://ptast.com/media/images/12%20Dec%20IR%20Torch%20030.jpg And the Front yard 65 LEDs ...

A simple php script could do a browser check job for us...(if you can't run get_browser()) <?php /* Mozilla Firefox */ if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Firefox")) $src = "<img src=\"" .$location.

Hi cordel,

Yep that is my case, one is NTSEC and the other is PAL.
That was bad news, for now....

Many thanks for the reply!

Great!

OK, I added a test code snippet to zm_local_camera.cpp #if 1 errors = 0; while(errors < maxerrors) if ( ioctl( m_videohandle, VIDIOCSYNC, &m_sync_frame ) < 0 ) errors++; else break; if(errors >= maxerrors) { Error(( "Sync failure for frame %d buffer %d(%d): %s", m_sync_frame, m_cap_frame_active ...
