Wanscam JW0011 - kinda working. Suggestions?

[dkasak]

Hi all.

I bought a pair of ( ultra cheap ) Wanscam JW0011 cameras. They're IP cameras. I have 1 setup now, and I'm trying to get things stable. As per http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21752 it "works" with the source path:

Code: Select all

/videostream.cgi?user=[username]&pwd=[password]

However all is not well. I have quite a few "general instability" issues with Zoneminder, but I'll post these elsewhere. Specific to this camera ( I think ) is that:

1) The image stream coming from the camera gets quite messed up after a while, with the "middle" of the image being shifted across to the edge of the image ( ie wrapped around half-way ), and the edge of the image being in the middle. There is other semi-random corruption happening.

2) No matter what settings I use for the zone's ( I have 1 currently ) sensitivity, I get random events. When I'm monitoring the zone, I don't see any movement / corruption during these times.

3) Zoneminder seems to get tripped up and looses the ability to communicate with the camera - stops grabbing frames. Opening up the camera's own web viewer thing shows the camera is working fine during this time.

Has anyone used one of these cameras? Share to post some config details? Does anyone know what source path I should use to try rstp mode?

Thanks
