ZoneMinder Forums

hey all,

i'm having troubles with my fresh install of zoneminder 1.24.2 on a ubuntu 9.04 desktop machine; the camera(s) i'm using is(are) axis m1011, connected with a netgear switch.

so far, everything _seems_ to work exept for the fact that i don't get an image when accessing http://127.0.1.1/index.php?view=watch&mid=4 (the pop-up window i get when clicking on the camera name - so far, i only added this one monitor, but tried various settings) - instead, the video frame stays black (as in black polished chrome, that came over the frame like liquid night)...

however, the video (well, mjpeg that is) displays just fine when i point my browser (firefox) directly to the camera's ip.

what i got out of the various logfiles is the following:

This might be trivial - but I just don't seem to find an existing post that gets me back on the right track.
Help, anyone? o_O

Thanks so much in advance,

You need to either configure the correct authorization for your camera in ZM or disable Password protection on your camera. All the other errors are collateral from ZM being denied access to your IP cam.
