Goodmoring,
i have a problem with my dcs-900 cam.
I use a live-cd distribution of zoneminder (v1.19.5).
from distro i can ping the camera, but when i create a new monitor the image don't appear. I see a black frame or null.
I set in the monitor tab in the remote host name the ip of my webcam, in the remote host port the port 8481 (the trasfer image port) and in the remote host path null.
Is correct?
Thanks.
DCS-900

You need to fill in a value in the path otherwise you will probably get a html page rather than an image. I don't know the exact path you need for a DCS-900 but if it's like a DCS-1000W then either /IMAGE.JPG or /video.cgi should work depending on whether you want single or multi-part jpegs.
Failing that trying searching the forums as I'm sure people have posted the path for that camera before.

The camera should have a path to a jpg file and you need to put that in the config.
So you should have someting like
host 192.168.0.100
port 8481
path /image/capture.jpg
The port is the only one that can be blank since it will default to 80 if null.
Cheer,
