Hawking HNC290G

Post by mbrinkho »

I'm having trouble getting this camera working with ZM. The camera has a JPEG image available at http://192.168.1.122/loginfree.jpg which shows up fine in Firefox but when I put this in as a remote cam in ZM it stays red and only shows a black image. In the 'source' tab I have the following settings:

protocol: HTTP
method: simple
host name: 192.168.1.122
host port: 80
host path: /loginfree.jpg
host subpath:
image colors: 24 bit color
capture width: 640
capture height: 640
preserve aspect ratio: unchecked
orientation: normal

I understand that ZM supports single JPEG cameras - is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Try changing : capture height: 640 to capture height: 480...

Arg, that was a typo. On ZM it's 480.

I was hoping to find out if anyone else has used this cam with ZM, I feel like I may be beating my head against the wall with this one.

In the web server of the camera you have to enable the loginfree.jpg or you can use "/jpg/image.jpg" and username:password@cameraip

This camera is sold under a bunch of names check this site out. Yours might not look like the one on the front page but it is probably the same.

be sure to check the html hack on that site if you plan to use that camera outside.
