I have it working using the following settings

Remote Protocol = HTTP
Remote Method = Simple
Remote Host Name = my ip address
Remote Host Port = 80
Remote Host Path = /tmpfs/auto.jpg
Remote Host SubPath =
Remote Image Colours = 24 bit colour

I got the camera to work but for some reason after a couple of seconds it goes black and doesn't seem to come back. I am not 100% sure what the issue is. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it?
Power supply

Does the external power supply take 110-220V or just 110?
110

My version of it is only 110 but I am sure you can use a 210 adapter without a ny problems. I however still havent been able to get it to work properly. It works for a couple of seconds then goes black and the only way to get it to come back up is to restart zoneminder. Hope that helps...

Hi,
Check the /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog files in order to get some clues.

Those logs are blank nothing in them to see. Even when I restart the zoneminder and try working with it niothing gets inserted into them.

Has anyone found a solution for this issue. I have the same problem. I have an Astak Mole with a wired connection. The camera sends images for a few frames and then hangs. If I go to the monitor settings and change anything and do a save the camera comes back online.
I have also noticed that the camera works longer when I am runnin zoneminder from inside my local network where there is high bandwidth. If I use "eneZm" on my ipad then it will hang withing a few seconds.

It seems that zmc is giving up if it gets a bad jpeg image. I've attached a logfile fragment that shows the capture daemon exiting abnormally. Does anyone know if there is some way to tell zoneminder to skip bad frames and try later? It seems that this would be a common scenario for cams where we are polling for jpeg's.
