[SOLVED] IP CAMERA vivotek 8332 problem - Firefox is OK

[bubugian]

Hi all,
I'cannot have success in configuring my camera IP8332 from vivotek.
ZM1.26.5, xubuntu 14.04

I've configured stream1 as 1080x800, JPG 5fps max, jpg stream name is video,jpg
Typing //CAMERAIPADDRESS/video.jpg in firefox' addressbar all it's ok: I can view frames from camera.

If I add new monitor as follow:

[general]
name:cam1_jpg
source type: remote
function: monitor
enabled
linked monitors: none (list is empty)
maximum fps:5

[source]
Remote protocol: HTTP
Remote method: Simple
Remote host name: CAMERAIPADDRESS
Remote host port: 80
Remote host path: /video.jpg
Target colorspace: 24bit
Width:1280
Height:800

After having started ZM (now is "Running") and clicked over property "name", a new browser' window pops up.
New window has label ld, name, time, secs and so on WITHOUT THE CAMERA PICTURE.

I spent three day trying lot of stuffs, what's going wrong ?

I've only installed ZM. Should I install some other program ?

Please help I haven't other ideas, please help me with some suggestion or, please, suggest a good tool alternative to ZM.

Thanks very much in advance.
Regards!

Hi all.
I solve the problem by myself.

After having a look to log, I found some ERR concerning problem with SOCKs in /tmp/zm and solved with this solution:

1) Keep the default zone apache.conf without the ScriptAlias.

2) Stop both zoneminder and apache2
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service zoneminder stop

3) After having verified that /tmp/zm does not exists:
sudo mkdir /tmp/zm
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/zm

4) Remove any stale sockets from /tmp/zm (default location):
sudo rm -vf /tmp/zm/*.*

5) sudo a2enmod cgi

6) Start zoneminder
sudo service zoneminder start

7) Start apache2
sudo service apache2 start

With the exception of creation of the folder /tmp/zm, solution was read in another forum:
google "zoneminder not creating local unix sockets for streaming" to find it, I'm a new user and I cannot write URLs in this thread.

I hope this could help.
Ciao !
