panasonic BL-C1A URL authenication problem

Post by sloan949 »

I am trying to enter the login and pass in the URL to authenticate the user for the begginig of the session on ZoneMinder Live CD 1.22.2. The Forum gave me the proper format
<user>:<pass>@<ip> but I have tried this numerous ways and it is not working.

on the host line of the source tab I entered the IP address of the camera and on the path tab
i have tried several ways to no avail.

Any ideas
Thanks

Mine is:

Remote Host Name: <user>:<pass>@<ip>
Remote Host Port: <port number>
Remote Host Path: /SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Clarity
24 bit color
Capture width: 320
Capture height: 240

If you are having trouble, try turning off auth on the camera and make sure you can get it working that way. Also check your shared memory, it may need a boost. Finally, restart ZM; this sometimes fixes wonky issues with my panasonics.

when I use:

Code: Select all

/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Clarity
I only end up w/ about 2 fps. However, when I use either:

Code: Select all

/cgi-bin/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity
/cgi-bin/nphContinuousServerPush?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity
or

Code: Select all

/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity
/nphContinuousServerPush?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity
I can get 4+ fps, w/ an average of ~4 fps.

I am able to get the 2fps method to work now. I can't get either of the supposedly 4fps ones to work. I don't understand if I'm only supposed to use one line or both lines of each blockquoted section. I have tried both ways with no success.

Of the two code blocks, just one from either is what you want. So, either

Code: Select all

/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity
or

Code: Select all

/nphContinuousServerPush?Resolution=640x480&Quality=Clarity


It seems that with the current version, the /cgi-bin/ prefix is optional.
