IP-Camera how to get a cgi path working?

syndacate · Post by **syndacate** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 7:08 am

Hello everybody:
I have just bought this ip cam http://www.sohonas.com.tw/c1006h_h264_ip_camera_en.html
Upgrading the firmware i got the cam streaming in mjpeg and so i could use it also on firefox and linux.

I would like to use it with zonemidenr of course, but the instructions tell that to have a viseostream i have to conenct to "http://ip-of-my-cam/videostream.cgi?user=xxx&pass=xxx"

If I put this url in firefox I effectively obtain the videostream, but if i configure a new cam in zoneminder with this parameters all I can get is a white screen:

I put the ip in the source and the rest of the url in the path field, but nothing. So i tried to use the syntax user:pass@ip-of-my-cam in the source field and /videostram.cgi in the source but also this didn't work. In another post i read about something about changing the value of ZM_NETCAM_REGEXPS option to 0 but also this din't worked. What i'm doing wrong?? can someone help me please?? Thank you in advice

If /videostram.cgi wasn't a typo on your post, I'd start there, you're missing an e.

instead of remote use FFMPEG, for the remote path put:
http://ip-of-my-cam/videostream.cgi?use ... xx&a=.mjpg

it should work.

Use ffmpeg?

I tried to deselect remote and select file, then the url as you said but nothing happens. I tried to stream the camera using vlc and it works very well, so I can discard the possibility that my cam doesn't work well

This worked perfectly for me (except I had to change pass to pwd).

Thanks!

Also for me worked in this way:

Code: Select all

http://ip-of-my-cam/videostream.cgi?user=xxx&pwd=xxx&a=.mjpg

but I have to select REMOTE not FFMPG
