I am running the 1.23.3 Zoneminder and I can get video to stream from this camera just fine to ZoneMinder, but I am not able to get the script found here on the wiki to work. I have tried copying it to the /usr/local/bin and specifying it as the path, also tried caopying it to the perl5 directorty as a .pm file with no luck. Anyone got this wroking with 1.23.3?

Have you made sure that the permissions are set to executable, and have you created the definitions in the database for the script?

I set the script to chmod 644 I have also tried 755. I am not sure what you mean by creating the defintitions int he database for the script? I did in the controls section of ZM set the move,pan, zoom, paramters.

That's exactly what I meant. Any errors in the logs?
It does have to be placed with the other ZM control perl modules by the way.

Okay I copied DCS-6620g.pm to /usr/lib/per5/site_perl/5.8.8/Zoneminder/Control (I am running Centos 5.2) I specified the protocol as DCS-6620g the permissions is the same as the other .pm files so that looks okay. I looked at /var/log/messages and /tmp/zm_debug.log.xxxxx and there isn't anything useful there. I do get Invalid Jeg Fiel Structure for a second after I push a control button.

What happens if you set debug to 1 in DCS-6620g.pm?

Didn't seem to change anything, is there a different log file I should be looking at? Again, I appreciate all your help.

Try these for inspiration, as I'm heading off to work. If those don't help then post the script here and I'll have a peek when I get back.

Thats not a perl module, it's a perl script for <1>=1.23.0.
I think I converted this to a module some time last year for some one and put it up in the downloads section of my web site.

The script does not have defined continuous zoom so uncheck it in your control script parameters.

Anyone get this working yet with the newer release of Zoneminder. I've pieced together differnet posts to try and get the correct pm file and settings. It's still not working and I can't seem to find cordel's website to see if there is any difference. I was trying to help someone get this camera setup for PTZ.
If someone could point me in the right direction of cordel's version I could compare what I have no to it.
