ZoneMinder Forums

Dear friends,

I install Zone Minder 1.24.x for 55 Toshiba IKWB02A IP cameras. The cameras work for sites outdoors and indoor.
This plataform works very very good, but I have a trouble with 3 cameras in other network.

In the server: Ubuntu 9.10 32bits, ZoneMinder 1.24.x installed, 2 network cards.
The firts network is for internal propourses, with this network I manage 52 cameras and other Unix based servers.
And the last one network is for out to Internet, is the corporative network, some others users and the internet gateway.

The trouble is that the 3 cameras thats not working, stays installed over internet, with static public IPs, with the same configuration that the other cameras (no changes), but these cameras not working.

Someone have any idea to fix this trouble or know if is trouble of the networks or configuration problem?

I looking over all forum, but I not find nothing about this.

Thanks in advance!!!

Is there a connection between the first and the second network (I'm going to assume yes)? Try connecting to the cameras using a computer on the second network using a browser (static IP & credentials); can you connect? If yes, you probably have a firewall rule(s) preventing the ZM connection; if no check the camera setup. If this is too basic a solution then you will need to provide a lot more details for resolution...

The server is connected trough the 2 networks.
The camera works, I can access to the camera on the second network fine.

This is the 2 network configuration.

Attempt to access the internet from the first network (ZM computer). If you can't it's going to be a firewall rule(s), internet access rule(s), and/or IP based access list etc... causing the problem. Your camera and ZM computer are probably setup correctly. I'd start by looking at the sever connecting the two networks (170.100.***.*** and 10.1.***.***) together.

To answer your original question - This appears to be a network configuration problem and not a ZM or camera issue.

Thanks for your replies.
I fix the trouble with add some statics routes.
