Just curious did anybody get zoneminder working with a D-Link 2100+ Web Cam?
If yes, please tell me how! Which path ? port ? URL ?

Thanks

I don't know about the 2100 but on a DCS-1000W it's '/video.cgi' for the path for multi-part jpegs and just /IMAGE.JPG for a single image. The port can be left blank as it's just 80.

If that doesn't work then try looking at the html source of the main camera page and seeing if that gives any clues. That's how I figure out all the cameras I get.

Thanks for the hints.

I contacted D-Link technical support and according to them the 2100+ only supports Windows 2000/XP and Inernet Explorer higher than 5.1. Pictures are retrieved through an Active-X applet and as one can see on the source of the web page there is no path to manualy retrieve images.

That's a bit odd. The ActiveX must use something to get hold of the images though so there must be a URL somewhere unles it uses a direct socket connection or something like that.

I'm afraid D-Link does themselves no favours with things like this. The contrast between them and Axis who publish their API and use it consistently between products is striking.

Phil,

Dlink told me I needed to get their SDK to get my DSC-900 to work with linux. I instead used a hex editor on their upgrade firmware and found it was /image.jpg and /video.cgi just like the DSC-1000. Uppercase didn't seem to want to work.
