ECOR264-4D2 jpg blue screen

[cyberfitz]

ok - so new to zoneminder will try to provide the details ...

1 - i installed v1.30 based on the fedora instructions listed here https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Fedora
2 - I have 4 Dlink ip cameras which are working fine - i can get picture and everythings seems to be ok
3 - I have an installed (old?) Everfocus ECOR264-4D2 video system which seems to work using a url like this :
http://192.168.254.200:10002/m/camera1.jpg

i have tested this on ispy and it is able to connect and works fine in that app by using the http://admin:password@192.168.254.200:1 ... amera1.jpg

syntax which i have also tested on zoneminder

4 - in zoneminder i get a blue screen - i have added the picture size of 352x240 which i have verified from both the server and the image on the url

5 - i have configured the comera as remote, protocol http,
Remote Protocol = HTTP
Remote Method = Simple
Remote Host Name admin:passwd@192.168.254.200
Remote Host Port 10002
Remote Host Path /m/camera1.jpg
Target colorspace 24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels) 352
Capture Height (pixels) 240
Preserve Aspect Ratio unchecked
Orientation Normal
Deinterlacing Disabled

5 - log file looks like this :

When i look at the size of a jpg its like 12KB or so. Any idea what i might be doing wrong?

[cyberfitz]

well i can get it to work if i change it to be a file instead of remote and run this script in the background :

while true
do wget -q http://admin:password@192.168.254.200:1 ... amera1.jpg
mv camera1.jpg.1 camera1.jpg
sleep .1
done


just seems like a hack (cuz it is)

[cyberfitz]

well - still not sure why zoneminder cant work here - tried curl, ffmpeg, .... all of them. Have settled on this solution which is working very well. Posting here in case someone else finds it useful:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /tmp/zmpics
touch /tmp/zmpics/pid_${1}
PID=$(cat /tmp/zmpics/pid_${1})
if [ x$PID != x ]
then kill -9 $PID
fi
echo $$ > /tmp/zmpics/pid_${1}
if [ ! -p /tmp/zmpics/cam_${1}.jpg ]
then mkfifo /tmp/zmpics/cam_${1}.jpg
fi
while true
do curl -s --digest -m 1 -u admin:paswd http://ipaddress:port/m/camera${1}.jpg >/tmp/zmpics/cam_${1}.jpg
done

==================================================================================================================

just change the passwd, ipaddress and port

i have 2 camers on this device so i have these 2 crontab entries :

0 * * * * /root/ezcorcams 1
0 * * * * /root/ezcorcams 2


In the camera definition i set the source type to "file", the source path to the named pipe and the Maximum FPS to 10 . The name pipe helps control the rate of pull.

Works like a charm. Still feels like a hack - but its good enough.

Your script seems to be useful. But it does not work. Ubuntu 16.04.

Executing manually at shell it fails silently.

Hey, I'm happy to work with you to get this working. Our http_remote_camera code is somewhat sketchy.

So it looks like the camera sent the image... and said I'm closing... but for some reason we wanted another 375 bytes....
