Hi all,

After struggling several days trying to setup my system, and read tons of posts, I have found a configuration that works. Maybe it could help anyone trying to setup a similar system.

Configuration /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.shmall = 134217728
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

Source:
Remote Protocol = HTTP
Remote Method = Simple
Remote Host Name = ip (also works -> user:pwd@ip )
Remote Host Port = 80
Remote Host Path = /videostream.cgi?user=YOUR_USER&pwd=YOUR_PWD (if you choose the second option in Remote Host Name, both of the following should work -> videostream.cgi / video.cgi)
Remote Image Colours = 24
Capture Width = 320
Capture Height = 24

I have also installed motion and the Kmotion interface and worked fine, but Zoneminder didn't worked until I stopped the kmotion service (problems sharing the /dev/shm ?).

Well, know I'm trying to fine tune my system and waiting for my second Foscam camera (dealextreme!).

Best regards,

Hi,

After more reading, here are the settings to control the PTZ of this camera (reading this topic helped a lot http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=57137).

Control:
Controllable = checked
Control type = Foscam FI8908W
Control address = ip
Auto Stop Timeout = 0

Control type:
Main.Protocol = FoscamFI8908W
Move.CanMove = checked
Move.CanMoveDiagonally = checked
Move.CanMoveContinuous = checked
Pan.CanPan = checked
Tilt.CanTilt = checked
Presets.HasPresets = checked
Presets.HasHomePreset = checked

Before testing it, edit the file as indicted in the link (http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=57137) and remember to enable the OPT_CONTROL under Options|System.

Hope it helps!

Yeah, this won't work for me, no movement.

Nevermind, it started working all of sudden..very weird. THANKS!
