Axis Cameras

mcampo · Post by **mcampo** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 11:05 am

Hi,
I have installed in the HDD the live-cd. I have tried with IP cameras (Axis 2420 and Axis 2120) and no image appears, though from the explorer if that does it.

My camera configuration:
----
Function : Monitor
Section Length : 600
Frame Skip: 0
Run Mode: Conitnuous
Source Type: Remote
----

Remote Host Name : 192.168.0.215
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /jpg/image.jpg
320x240
24 bit colour

Can someone help me?
Thanks

Hi all,
I moved this here from the livecd forum. Can anyone with netcam know how help?

Thanks

I use either of these paths on my axis cameras

/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?

or

/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?

also make sure the image size your are using to capture in zoneminder is the same as you have set in the axis camera admin menu.

This is the same issue I've been having with my Axis 2120 cameras.

My config is identical to mcampo's with one exception and that is Remote host path is set to /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?

Still I get nothing from the camera in ZM?

Any ideas?

What do you see in the logs? Are you using http 1.0 or 1.1?

I'm using 1.1

Also for the record I'm a developer not a Linux admin so please forgive me if I ask seamingly stupid questions about Linux. I'm trying to make this work on RH9C3 if that helps.

The catpure daemon seems to be working now and images are being recorded, but I still can't get any display in the monitor window from zms.

Try sending a USR1 signal to the relevant zmc process. This will increase the debug level by 1 each time. At about 3 or so you should see something more useful in /var/log/messages. If you can post that it might help, I would also recommend changing to http 1.0 as an experiment.

Sending USR2 puts the debug level back down by the way.

Ok,

Here's what I'm seeing in the apache error log

[Fri Feb 18 09:11:56 2005] [error] [client 10.12.96.15] Premature end of script headers: zms, referer: http://bpl-tim-1/index.php?view=watchfe ... &scale=100
[Fri Feb 18 09:11:56 2005] [error] [client 10.12.96.15] /opt/httpd/cgi-bin/zms: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, referer: http://bpl-tim-1/index.php?view=watchfe ... &scale=100
/usr/local/bin/zmu: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now I know for a fact that libavformat.so is on the box and in the following locations:

/root/ffmpeg-0.4.8/libavformat/libavformat.so
/usr/local/bin/libavformat.so
/usr/local/lib/libavformat.so

What am I missing?

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you send the USR1 signal?

Well we got it working. Turns out we had to install rpms for ffmpeg and a few other media packages and everything works great.

Good stuff Phil! Keep up the good work!
