Debian Sarge not getting picture

[tim@pcs-alaska.com]

ZoneMinder Version 1.21
Debian Sarge built May 5, 2005
Camera: Toshiba KX-HCM10 (actually three on a remote netwok all running on separte ports.)

Trying to get a picture and I'm failing. I can see the cameras via a standard web browser but not through ZoneMinder. I first started with the "shared memory" error and cranked up my /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax. The error seems to be gone but Still no joy...

I've tried to put together what I can....Advise please, Thank you.

This is what I get in syslog when trying to monitor my Toshiba KX-HCM10

the Select timed out i believe means the timeout on the monitor was reached before the image was pulled. you can try increasing the Options->Network->ZM_HTTP_TIMEOUT from the default 2500ms (2.5s).

the Unrecognised content type means the Remote Host Path in the monitor is returning an html page. I just did a quick search for a live demo on a KX-HCM10 (turned up a Panasonic model, not Toshiba) and got this as the path:
/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Clarity

by looking at the url of the image itself you should find the appropriate path for your camera

This is the path I use for mine '/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard' to get mpjpegs.

Thank you for replying. I tried both of your suggestions and I'm still getting a time-out error in the syslogs. I'm on a 10MB wireless hop so maybe thats the problem...?

I'm going to work on testing Franco's debian build I'm just starting to install now.

Thank you!!

Installing Apache first then installing the zm package made it work. Although; I can't get the username and password working. Didn't realize there was going to be authentication. I tried the zm and zmpass but no joy.

In case you haven't found it yet the user and password is admin

Yes, that worked...Thank you.
