ZoneMinder Forums

Hi Guys

I am attempting to get an AXIS 210 camera working with ZoneMinder.

I have set the following:

General
Name: Monitor-1
Source type: Remote
Function: Monitor
Enabled: [tick]

Source
Remote Protocol: RTSP
Remote Method: RTP/RTSP/HTTP
Remote Host Name: username:password@ip.address
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

The IP is in red though on the ZoneMinder web page. Also if I use 'Probe' I get:

Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'

If I use the above details to construct the full URL http://username:password@ip.address/axi ... /video.cgi then the video loads ok

Thank you
Shell

Hi

After some more reading of forums and log reading it looks like a shared memory issue. I have done some changes, and now got a black box instead of no box at all!

I do not think I've set the following correct though?
Set up on Ubuntu:
RAM: 2GB
Video is: 640x480 at 24bit

I'll eventually want to record this too. Do I need to bring the size down?

Thanks for your help

Does the HTTP protocol work?

Hi

I left all the settings as above but changed it to just HTTP. I get the same - a black box where I would expect the video stream.

Thanks

Also the IP address under 'Source' on the main page is red.

Did you try

Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple

?

I use HTTP Simple to get to Axis 210(a) cameras.
My remote host path is:
/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=320x240&req_fps=5

I also set capture width height to 320x240.
