ZoneMinder Forums

i'm currently working wih zoneminder 1.24.2 and after a success installation, i was looking forward to see image from my ip camare Dlink DCS-920, but unfortunately it never happened.

The configuration of my zoneminder plattform is:

Options -> Paths -> PATH_ZMS -> /cgi-bin/zms
Options -> Images ->STREAM METHOD jpeg (selected)
Options -> Images -> OPT_CAMBOZOLA (Selected)
Options -> Images -> PATH_CAMBOZOLA -> cambozola.jar
Options -> Images -> OPT_FFMPEG (Selected)
Options -> Images -> PATH_FFMPEG -> /usr/bin/ffmpeg

the monitor (Dlink DCS-920) configuration is:

Monitor -> General -> Source type -> Remote
Monitor -> General -> Function -> Modect
Monitor -> General -> Maximum FPS -> (5.00)
Monitor -> General -> Triggers -> (7)
Monitor -> Source->Remote Protocol -> HTTP
Monitor -> Source-> Remote Method -> Simple
Monitor -> Source-> Remote Host Name -> admin:admin@ipaddress
Monitor -> Source-> Remote Host Port -> 80
Monitor -> Source-> Remote Host Path - /VIDEO.CGI?
Monitor -> Source-> Remote Image Colours -> 24
Monitor -> Source-> Capture Width (pixels) -> 640
Monitor -> Source-> Capture Height (pixels) -> 480
Monitor -> Source-> Preserve Aspect Ratio -> (NOT SELECTED)
Monitor -> Source-> Orientation -> Normal


Those are the principal characteristics of my system, and all i got is this error message " http://serveraddress/cgi-bin/zms?mode=j ... pass=admin.

I mentioned i selected modect an zoneminder is collecting events, but there is not image on the screen.

is there anyone who can help me to fix this problem, i tryed lot of configurations, but nothing seems to work.

any suggestion, would be really apreciated.

have you checked to see if your getting any recordings in your images folder? If you are then it just a matter of having ffmpeg and your jre set up right. Try installing the lasted jre(java runtime environment) from oracles website.

I have also been having problems getting mjpeg video from the dcs-920.

One thing that I found to work:

On the camera: Set size to 320x240, disable user access control

On ZM:
Remote Host Name: <your>
Remote Host Path: /image.jpg

This does not make use of streaming jpeg, but does work at 2.8 FPS.
(I've also gotten something similar working at 640x480 using /image/jpeg.cgi, just make sure that your Image Buffer Size (frames) is set to a low number like 10, with bigger images 40 was too big...)

I've tried lots of different things to get streaming (mjpeg) video to work, but so far they have all resulted in either a completely black image, or a missing image in the ZM console.
