virtual host for ZoneMinder.

Hold down shift, then hit reload. See if it's still red.

If it's still red, try restarting zoneminder.

If it's still red, turn on debugging; something isn't right -- that shouldn't be possible with a green log.

The "log" link goes red every once in a while and then it turns green
(actually it looks blue but the code says its #686e23 which is green)
It streams OK but I'm still getting an occasional socket_sendto( error
The logs say this over and over

Hmmm.

My guess is that every once in a while the camera is barfing (either returning a bad frame or not returning anything), but recovering quickly enough that it's not causing other serious issues.

Since you've gone this far, in the wiki the 932L has a method for streaming mjpeg. (Right now you're just serially fetching jpeg images.) I'd try graduating to that next. I think it's highly likely that it'll work, given Dlink's other products.

If you're really paranoid about screwing up your current monitor config, change your existing monitor to type "none". Then define a second monitor going to the same camera where you mess with the mjpeg settings.

I found this list of remote host paths for D-link Cameras
http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=D-Link

There is a video stream at http://IPADDRESS/video/mjpg.cgi which does work for me.

Don't just sit there, add it to the wiki!

I added it. Thanks for all the help. Your instructions are unusually clear.

Good man!
