Cannot get image out of any camera

Post by amerdsp »

Greetings,
I am still trying to get my cameras up and running but for some reason I am unable to get any image out of the axis cameras, and I do not know where I am going wrong. If I go to the camera with the link:

http://192.168.0.10/axis-cgi/jpg/image. ... on=640x480 I get an image just fine. However when I use the same settings in ZM, I am unable to get an image at all.

I am providing some screenshots hoping someone will be able to see the mistake I am making. I installed from source on a FC following the instructions in the wiki and everytihng seemed to have installed ok.

How about a

Code: Select all

tail -20 /var/log/syslog
I'm guessing you're getting a "can't shmget" error, which would mean you need to bump up your shared memory settings.

I changed the shared memory to 2GB for both mas and all... I have 3GB installed on the machine.

Now I still get the red ip address for the monitor but a back image instead of no image at all..

any ideas?

Thank you

you need to post your logs, where ever they may be located (depends on distro)
