Greetings all!

Just installed ZM 1.24.2 w/ a Foscam 8904 IP Camera. Everything is working great w/ one exception. I can't for the life of me get ZM to sound an alarm (WAV file) when it detects motion. The events are working correctly and I've got the wav file in the appropriate subdirectory ( /var/www/sounds) but it just isn't happening. I'd be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction as this is the last item I need to get working. TIA

Here's a bit more info...

I've got my camera set for Motion Detect and I can watch the camera change it's state from Idle to Alert to Alarm and back again as motion is detected. My browser, Firefox, can play WAV files (simple test is to simply drag a wav file into the browser and it works). The "events" are being recorded and I can play them back...I'm simply not getting an audio alarm when the camera goes into the "Alarm" state. <sigh>

Got it. Apparently all I had to do was login as a user other than admin.
