Dear all,
I have a FOSCAM cam, model FI8908W. It works perfectly and I have decided to drive pan-tilt command with Zoneminder. I followed the instruction contained in this guide http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Foscam
When I try to pan or tilt the camera, after a while a popup message appears:
Control response was status = undefined
message = /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --autostop --command=moveConRight --id=21=>

Where am I wrong?

Thank you.

Maybe a typo in the script,
Try: killall zmcontrol.pl

I can't make it to
