Trendnet TV-IP422W

Hello all,
I got a Trendnet TV-IP422W, which is their new PT model with LEDs and WIreless, in yesterday, and have spent the day playing with it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it working with ZM yet.

I decompiled the Java applet that it uses, and it points to /cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi I tried plugging that into ZM, but no luck. I ran a wget, and was able to run the resulting file in VLC. However, VLC popped up plenty of errors, suggesting the there is the same non-standard jpeg problem as exists in the IP110 and some other cameras.

Incidentally, I got the same Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=--myboundary when I ran wget, as referenced in http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11574

On the bright side, it looks like the PT controls should be easy to implement, as they are just calls to variations of http://x.x.x.x/admin/ptctl.cgi?move=$ARG.

Is there any way to write a camera "driver" so that these 28 bytes can be taken into account for this camera only?

have you tried to play with ffmpeg at all? I've played around with the TV-IP400 quite a bit (wrote the PTZ driver) and was able to grab its stream using ffmpeg.
It may be possible to pass the stream through ffmpeg and have it clean it up a bit.
I'd be interested in working on streaming/ptz support for this camera, except I don't own one yet

I'm also wondering if the patch mentioned here might work:

Hi,

The CGI Spec document from the TrendNet support.

Bye.

The Airllink101 SkyIPCam 747W is based on the same hardware and firmware (only difference is the Airlink camera lacks a USB port and lacks MPEG4 streaming).

Someone has contributed a lot of useful information on getting Airlink camera to work with zoneminder here:

and a PTZ module for zoneminder here:

Give the contributions in those threads a try, there is a good chance they will working on your Trendnet camera.

I feel I'm so close to getting my TrendNet TV-IP410 PTZ controls working, but I keep running into the same error. Can anyone help with just this error:

Code: Select all

04/22/09 20:49:55.273644 zmcontrol[21044].ERR [Error check failed: '500 No Host option provided']

No matter what control protocol I use, even if I modify it myself, and no matter what control address, I get the same errors everytime.

There's obviously just a broken link somewhere in here, but I'm not quite savvy enough to realize it.

SFPeter to the rescue??

Did you provide the IP for the host in the control section? If it's using http try user:password@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
for the host in the control tab.

Yes, I have tired both conical name and ip address, with user account info in it. Neither works.
