Q-Serial Cameras on e-bay - Success

[rdmapes]

All,
I was looking for a couple of IP cameras for ZM and did not want to get carried away on cost. I got a couple Q Serial IP cams on e-bay. I was having trouble getting them to work so I started poking around the Wiki.

For anyone who gets one.
Remote Host Path = /cgi-bin/getimage.cgi?motion=1

This will get them up an running. Just wanted to share.

Enjoy,
Ron

I see that there are more on e-bay. I also just got another camera. This one has a smaller footprint and works well. Same settings and appears to have the same internals.

Any screenshots to what this looks like through Zoneminder?

In varying light conditions?

Anyone had these outdoors for any length of time? (I understand they may not be water proof, but in terms of cold, heat, etc.)

Any chance this supports POE?

Urg that part that sucks is when folks link to a product on ebay and you read it more then 90 days later. maybe if they are still sold someone could post the fellows nickname or link to items they sell or folks that sell similar but not the actual item with out also mentioning the fellows user name so that we have a chance in heck getting ahold of them or check out said product.

The link is dead anyone have any links??

Hi,

I have two cameras of this type (or really similar), also bought from DX, and I was using the following path to get the image:

Code: Select all

Remote Host Path = /image.jpg

I have tested:

Code: Select all

Remote Host Path =/cgi-bin/getimage.cgi?motion=1

Both of them work, so now we have two options. About the commands, anyone has the command list?. I would like to know what means the 'motion=1', for instance.

Kind regards,

PacoLM
