Hi All,

I have ZoneMinder 1.24.3 installed. Trying to use my Foscam FI8903W with wired cable. I put the configuration like:

Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Host Name: x.x.x.x (The IP of the camera)
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width: 320 (You could use 640 x 480, I found 320 to be better)
Capture Height: 240

The image is always black. I'm not sure what I should do to make this camera work with ZoneMinder. Please help! Really appreciated.

Lou

Hi,

Whats in the system log? Its typically /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog depending on your linux distro.

Thanks for the reply. The camera just suddenly worked... Maybe I weren't patient.
