Therese,

I ment this file
So far I can see you have configured This should be in my opinion: Evenso the "Can Move Continuous" must be disabled.
When you have saved the file click several times on the button to test it.

changed the config file but still no response from the camera. Seems like the command is going no where it is not receiving it.

Did you al ready treid if you can move the camera when you send this command straight from your browser.
Like this?

Yes with this command straight from the browser moved the camera up...

Ok at least we know that the link is correct
Did you already check the your settings with my screenshot

yes I have checked your screen shot and also set it up the same way but still control unresponsive.

I am getting out of ideas..

But what you can check is if you have JSON installed

Code:
$ sudo apt-get install libjson-any-perl

Tried this & did load files and updated but still no response...

it keeps coming back with the same message every time.
"Control response was status = undefined message = /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --command=Up --id=5=>"

I have created a new control file for the camera please check this one out and let me know

use ZoneMinder::Logger qw(:all);
use ZoneMinder::Config qw(:all);

use Time::HiRes qw( usleep );
<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
changed
use Zoneminder::Logger qw(:all);
to...
use Zoneminder::Debug qw(:all);

then it started to work...
but now have to figure how to stop it if I pan to left it will keep turning left and not stop till it gets to the end.

Your Welcome
Just keep me posted on the progress and place your file here on the forum so you can share it with everyone

Here is the modified EasyN config file ( EasyN FS-613B M166 IP PTZ Camera ) so far manage to control the pan, tilt function the reset function and also the Home preset buttons....enjoy
There is no diagonal control with these camera.

Updated script to fix jerky motion when panning camera...
#Up Arrow
sub Up
{
my $self = shift;
Debug( "Move Up" );
my $cmd = "decoder_control.cgi?command=0&onestep=1&user=admin&pwd=";
$self->sendCmd( $cmd );
}

#Down Arrow
sub Down
{
my $self = shift;
Debug( "Move Down" );
my $cmd = "decoder_control.cgi?command=2&onestep=3&user=admin&pwd=";
$self->sendCmd( $cmd );
}
#Left Arrow
sub Left
{
my $self = shift;
Debug( "Move Left" );
my $cmd = "decoder_control.cgi?command=4&onestep=5&user=admin&pwd=";
$self->sendCmd( $cmd );
}

#Right Arrow
sub Right
{
my $self = shift;
Debug( "Move Right" );
my $cmd = "decoder_control.cgi?command=6&onestep=7&user=admin&pwd=";
$self->sendCmd( $cmd );
}

My settings on this camera...

I have recently bought a Foscam PTZ camera and have installed scripts from all over the place and I still can't get the camera to pan, tilt, zoom, or do anything else except show a picture and give me errors but I found a very useful add-on for Firefox below that shows the camera in the sidebar and allows you to control the camera so the problem is almost solved lol
