Unable to detect Axis 1346 camera

Hi Forum,

I have installed zoneminder 1.24.2 in ubuntu lucid(10.04) with command apt-get install zoneminder and added link for zm conf in apache

The problem I am facing is I am unable to view video from axis -p1346 camera using zone minder
I have tried probe to auto detect camera but it ended up in following error

Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'

I have made sure that I can see image in web browser with following link

http://172.16.48.166/axis-cgi/mjpg/vide ... on=640x480

and selected Axis ip , 640 X 480 , mpjpeg profile .

On saving this profile I am seeing camera ip in red color. If I press monitor I am not seeing any image.

Am I missing any step ?

Any pointers :idea: to debug the issue will be very hepful

Thanks
An

Me too, with AICN500W (Airlink 101) Debian 5 (lenny), Zoneminder 1.24.2 installed from source per instructions here http://www.rmacd.com/howto/zoneminder-d ... nstall.php. I get still image in browser at /cgi/jpg/image.cgi and /cgi/mjpg/mjpg.cgi .

If you click on "stopped" at the top center of your screen [ZoneMinder Console - Stopped - v1.24.2], you can start the cam and your ip will go from red to orange. That's as far as I've gotten.

If I locate more info, I'll post back.

Changing the camera resolution to QVGA and the capture width and height to 320 and 240 under the source tab gives me a picture. I still have the status 127 message, so I guess it doesn't mean anything (in this case). I think there is something to be done w/ shared memory to get 640x480 image. Still researching ...

adding the lines:

kernel.shmall = 128000000
kernel.shmmax = 128000000

to /etc/sysctl.conf

then reboot (I don't know how to manually restart zm) got me a live feed!
