Hi guys, first at all sorry about my English its not my first language.

I have 2 Vivotek IP7330 but i can't make it work using this settings:

Protocol: RTSP
Method: RTP/RTSP
Remote Host Name: user:pass@192.168.1.X (camera ip)
Remote Host Port: 554
Remote Host Path: /live2.sdp (use streaming #2 setting up at jpeg)
colors: 24bits
Width: 640
Height: 480

i try using MPG-4 streaming... no luck

can anyone help me?

Well i have solved the problem

cat /var/log/syslog |tail
returned

zmdc[14263]: ERR ['zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
zmdc[14263]: ERR ['zmc -m 2' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
zmwatch[14295]: ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0001', No such file or directory]
zmwatch[14295]: ERR [Can't get shared memory id '7a6d0002', No such file or directory]

Solution

Looking at the current allocated value of shared memory:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
2097152

And the maximum i could get:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
134217728

(Log in as root. sudo su, otherwise you won’t be able to)

echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 134217728 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

This solved my shared memory problem. To make these value permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf :

kernel.shmall = 134217728
kernel.shmmax = 134217728

Copy/paste from a blog but this forum don't let me put the URL "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs. " damn!
