Foscam IP Camera Setup

[shurafa]

First Post! Keep in mind I am a complete ZM and Linux Newbie. If you can break anyting I missed down step by step it would be much appreciated!

Host OS ESXi4 Guest OS Ubuntu 11.04
ZM 1.24.2
Camera: Foscam FI8918W
IP: 192.168.57.169
Port:8020
URL to view still images http 192.168.57.169:8020 forward slash snapshot.cgi (the site wont let me use urls in the post for some reason)
Remote Host Path in ZM: /snapshot.cgi (does this path need to be a video feed? If so any idea what that path is?)

I have included an image from ZM with all of my settings from ZM and the URL of the static feed.

I found a helpful post in the wiki here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Foscam

I can get it to show up with the following settings:

General
Name: x
Source Type: Remote
Function: Modect (up to you though)
Enabled: Tick
Maximum FPS: Empty (I had some issues with it lagging when I used values here)
Alarm Maximum FPS: Empty
Source
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= (assuming you have an admin user on the cam with no password)
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width: 320 (You could use 640 x 480, I found 320 to be better)
Capture Height: 240

It will not recognize with a higher resolution though. Any suggestions?

If your using shared memory Check your shmall and shmax memory settings. Well covered in the wiki and forums.

Hellow,

Try setting your camera first to 640 x 480 via the settings page on your camera first. Then set this resolution in your zoneminder monitor.
