Hi All

Ive searched the internet and forums but i can see to get my Y-CAM BLACK to work with ZM

I have added a new source with the following settings:

Source type: Remote
Function: Monitor
Protocol: HTTP
Method: simple
hostname: internal IP
host/port: 80
Host Path: /stream.jpg
width 640
height 680

The logs are mainly empty apart from:

Make sure you've set up the primary stream correctly on the camera to match 640x480 and use colour in zm.

If no joy still, try opening that url in firefox/chrome; http://ip.of.camera/stream.jpg or whatever the camera's stream setup page says.

I'm using a bunch of these cameras and they've been very good, and especially useful for night time welfare animal watching with the onboard infra red. (BTW, they also work with this using a standard PoE splitter such as those from D-Link to save cabling)
