SercommRC8030(Clas Ohlson 36-2914) P/T cam dies in abt. 12h.

With ZM 1.21.0.

Get video from Remote Host Path "/img/video.mjpeg".

Pan/tilt through ZM not tried yet.

Camera died night after install :cry: , but I'll get a new one and continue testing. :lol:

Good buy considering price/features. I have a Axis 205 already and the RC8030 delivers much better (less noise) video in low light conditions.

I'll update here after some more experience, and upgrade of ZM.

OK new cam installed. Hopefully working more than 12 hours. :?

This happened this evening in the shop:
Salesman1: It must be repaired. The price is too high to just exchange it.
Me: OK, but there's a 30 day money back guarantee, I want my money back!
Salesman1: OK. You get a money-back voucher.
Me: Thanks. <Walking across the shop to pick up a new cam, then to the cashier>
Me: Can I pay with this voucher?
Cashier: Of course.
Me: Thanks. <Walking out of the shop giggling.>
Well, I can't complain about customer service although it does come with an intelligence test. :lol:

One more PC into my network, now with ZM 1.23.3 and that's the one I'll transfer the cameras to as I figure things out.

I can control it by entering commands like this in the browser:

http://<IP address>/pt/ptctrl.cgi?mv=U,1
http://<IP address>/pt/ptctrl.cgi?mv=DR,15
http://<IP address>/pt/ptctrl.cgi?mv=H

This will tilt up 1 degree, then down and right 15 degrees, then home.
Commands are DR, D, DL, R, H, L, UR, U and UL.

http://<IP address>/pt/ptctrl.cgi?preset=move,102
Will pan the full 126 degrees then come back to start position.

Now comes the difficult part: how to connect this up with ZM's controls.

If I figure it out, I'll be back.

--------------------

Forget this HW. The second camera died too, and the seller's support dept. went into can't be reached modus. I'll return the junk. :?

For good order - the camera sold by Clas Ohlson, with part number 36-2914, is actually a Sercomm NC802ATP. The RC8030 appears to be a newer and more capable camera....

Have a look at:

http://www.sercomm.com/DM/RC8030%20data%20sheet.pdf

and

http://www.sercomm.com.tw/DM/NC802APT%2 ... Camera.pdf

Perhaps worth checking out the real RC8030 when / if it arrives....

Hi

Do you know if they will get the new one?

Mine works fine and did all through the winter despite being mounted in a window in the attic where it was sometimes well below freezing point.
