Hi,

Check this link -> http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Foscam for a sample (even that it's a foscam ipcam). Maybe you do not have the proper script with the commands for your camera.

Hi,

Try to upgrade your OS using apt-get upgrade or aptitude upgrade, maybe you have some old libraries in your system. Which Linux are you using?.

One of the first IP cams that I used was the Panasonic. Today its still on line after about 6 years. I do remember having some issues where the "control" portion appeared not to work. Afterwards just noticed it was a delay but that the control motion worked fine. As stated have a look at previous threads relating to Panasonic IP cams.

BTW always ran my Panasonic IP cam via streaming at 640X480. Never locked up the camera as I have with the initial Foscam attempts to stream. I've since moved to just utilizing the Snapshot.cgi for the Foscam at 640X480 and not locked it up. Control of said camera always worked fine. Initially for me it was a mis spelling of the control file.

Cause
The 401 Unauthorized error is an HTTP status code that means the page you were trying to access can not be loaded until you first log on with a valid user ID and password. If you have just logged on and received the 401 Unauthorized error, it means that the credentials you entered were invalid for some reason.

Yeah, i fix it.

The problem is script: PanasonicIP.pm, i change this line 111 aprox, you see this:

Code: Select all

my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET=>"http://".$self->{Monitor}->{ControlAddress}."/$cmd" );

Change for:

Code: Select all

my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET=>"http://".$self->{Monitor}->{Host}.":".$self->{Monitor}->{Port}."/$cmd" );

And complete "Name Remote Host" and "Port Remote Host" in "Source Tab", i disable (for a while) "Control Address" in "Control Tab" but i rebuild in few days all Script "PanasonicIP.pm" for best compatibilty.

Thanks all.

i send new script "PanasonicIP.pm" in few days

Good news Mika!

Looks like you found an error in the original Panasonic.pm file relating to using something other than port 80.

Apologies.

I should have tried changing the port number on my Panasonic camera to see if "control" worked.

Did you compare control scripts to find the error?

The Panasonic IP camera is a good camera. As I said its been on 24/7 now for about 6 years or so with no issues.

I can lock up my Foscam by changing the amount of light in a room and using the PT functions at the same time or just about anything else that makes it "work" hard.

Mika do you mind to post the setup for your BB camera?
Are you getting the image through HTTP or RTSP?
Thanks
