Axis 2400

[dpalin]

Hi,


I am trying to get an axis 2400 configured to work with 1.21.3. The system already has a Grandtec card with several camera's configured and working great.

After spending a fair bit of time poking around the forums I see lots of references to doing this with various axis cameras which the direct URL seems to work fine. However I must be missing something here. I have tried various resolutions in ZM.

The axis 2400 is upgraded to 2.34, the configuration for the camera is below. I can key in the url below to my browser and it works fine. When I try to bring up this image in ZM it is a broken image.

I think you problem is here. It obviously won't work if the camera is returning images at 352x288 and your monitor expects to get them as 320x240. I'm surprised there wasn't anything in the logs that indicated this.

I should have given that detail... Sorry!

When I set the resolution to match I get the following in the log

Starting pending process, zma -m 12
'zma -m 12' starting at 06/05/03 15:32:28, pid = 12021
'zma -m 12' started at 06/05/03 15:32:28
'zma -m 12' crashed at 06/05/03 15:32:28, exit status 255

I am not able to run zmu for the camera(s) in question when I bump the resolution up either. I enter:

/usr/lib/zm/bin/zmu -m 12 -q -v and receive nothing back, the log keeps repeating.

'zmc -m 12' starting at 06/05/03 15:37:59, pid = 12185
'zmc -m 12' died at 06/05/03 15:37:59, signal 10

I was assuming that by lowering the resolution on zoneminder that it would at least grab part of the image or would reduce it.

[zoneminder]

Unfortunately not. The image is assumed to match the resolution.

Is there nothing in /var/log/messages with any errors in?

Ok, got it working. For the next person doing the axis 2400

Once I got the resolution set correctly as pointed out and watched the logs it started spewing about not enough shared memory. Ok, off to try another server that I know has enough memory. Entering the

zmu -m 11 -q -v

Returns the below.
