ZoneMinder Forums

Hi guys,

I'm using yawcam to use my webcam in windows 7 with IP 191.168.1.3.
In Virtual box i've installed Ubuntu 10.04 with Zoneminder.In Ubuntu when i put in URL 191.168.1.3:8081 i can see the stream of my webcam but when i put my configuration on Zoneminder it doesn't work,the IP keeps red and i dont know why.Can you help me solving this problem?

Here is my configuration in ZoneMinder

General:
Source Type - Remote
Function - Modect

Source:

Protocol - HTTP
Remote Host Name - 192.168.1.3
Remote Host Port - 8081
Remote Host path - /out.jpg
Capture Width - 640
Capture Height - 480

Thanks for who help

I'm not familiar with Yawcam.

However, the first thing I noticed is that the url that was entered into the web browser was "192.168.1.3:8081", but further down you've got the remote host path set to "/out.jpg". You didn't state where that came from, but that corresponds to a url of "192.168.1.3:8081/out.jpg" which is different than what was stated initially. Recommend you verify you've got the correct remote host path.

The url you want is the one that tells the yawcam to steam a raw video stream with no html borders, frames, buttons, etc. just raw video.

Another thing to verify is that the resolution entered into Zoneminder, 640x480, matches exactly what yawcam is sending.

Also, does Yawcam require authentication? If so, you'll have to enter that appropriately into Zoneminder as well.
