Panvigor IP Cameras

Post by blenderboy »

I need assistance configuring some IP cameras in ZM. I'm running ZM 1.24.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 server btw. The cameras are Panvigor 720P Mega-Pixel HD Color Mini-Dome.
  • Camera Specs:
    -IMAGE SENSOR : 1/4" CMOS 1M PIXEL(COLOR)
    -VIDEO COMPRESSION: MPEG-4/H.264
    -VIDEO RESOLUTION:1280X720(30FPS)
    -VIDEO COMPRESSION BIT RATE: 500KBIT/S -3MBIT/S
    -PROTOCOL: TCP/UDP/IP/HTTP/FTP/SMTP/DHCP/DNS/ARP/ICMP/POP3/NTP
    -COMMUNICATION INTERFACE: RJ45, 100M SELF-ADAPTIVE ETHERNET INTERFACE
    -O/S: LINUX (MontaVista Linux Professional Edition 4.0.1 )
The software the cameras came with is poorly written (Win 32-bit only); and the documentation is non-existent. I would like to use ZM instead, but I can't seem to get the cameras to comm. with ZM. I've added the cameras in ZM as remote, enter the IP, and try various ports (80, 8000, 9000, 9001) but the IP address shows red in the ZM console and I get no picture. I'm thinking I need to specify a Remote Host Path, but I don't know what it is.

I can telnet into the cameras and get a shell, when I run a netstat -l I get the following:
  • MontaVista(R) Linux(R) Professional Edition 4.0.1 (0502020)
    Linux/armv5tejl 2.6.10_mvl401_IPNC-1.0.6

    / $ netstat -l
    Active Internet connections (only servers)
    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State

    tcp 0 0 *:9050 *:* LISTEN
    udp 0 0 *:9093 *:*

Any assistance the community can provide would be great. Thanks in advance.
