Cannot connect to remote camera

I'm using Redhat Linux 7.2. The zoneminder seem fine working on localhost. Now I want to connect remotely the zoneminder on my ip address 1 to my other zoneminder on ip address 2 which is public ip. Apparently, I cannot get the path right cause the image didn't appear. What should I do to make the image appear? It's right to set the connection path to zm directory in the web directory then point to /images/Pantry.jpg? The connection path I try was http://10.150.15.143/zm/images/Pantry.jpg from the setting of the path for remote camera. It's right?
Connected to path 80 but still no image and the configuration signa linel is red.

Hi,

The path you have is right. Can you see the image if you type the URL into a regular browser?

It's worth checking the /var/log/messages file to see what the capture daemon thought was the problem. Also the image is not generated in the images directory during normal operation as that is wasteful of resources. It is only generated when necessary, ie when viewing the monitor in 'stills' mode. You can prompt the image to be generated by using the 'zmu' utility but this would require you setting up a script or something on the other machine.
