We loaded the live CD and it worked well. No difficulties. We cannot get the Aviosys IP Kamera 9000 to work with zoneminder. We have tried ports 80 and 8080 (as indicated by manufacturer). Has anyone used this cam before, that can offer help please?

You will probably need to work out the path to the images themselves rather than the web pages which are probably delivered by default over port 80. The easiest thing to do is probably view the source of the web page when browsing the cameras live feed and search for 'src=' until you find something that looks like a candidate for the image stream.

Not knowing the camera though it's possible that they either hide this link or use some other method that isn't so obvious.

Thank you for the speedy reply. It seems to be using GetData.cgi but we are only getting a blank black page

We played with a Win based DVR called LuxRiot, and it detected the camera as an O'RITE/Toshiba. Any input will be highly appreciated.

I don't know if you can open up the camera to the net or not. If you can PM the details and I'll take a look at it. Or failing that send me the results of 'view source'.

Your camera's native mode is to use a Windows ActiveX control (likely downloaded from the camera by the browser) to suck the stream from it.

Either look for a "Netscape compatible" mode in the camera UI, or google for "$CAMERANAME cgi", and see if you get lucky.

Go the to the avion website and download the latest firmware. Make sure the res you have set in the camera is the same as the res in zm and you should be fine. I have one working at the moment.

Hi Dean

Are you using the GetData.cgi script also? I have the 9100 video server, which also uses that script for non internet explorer browsers. But I too only get a blank page through ZM.

You couldn't give us a brief overview of your settings could you?

Thanks

Ray

I have found that the ffmpeg file seems to be the most problematic. I had one from dag.wieers.com and then it got updated by atrpms and suddenly everything stopped working. So I uninstalled atrpms one and reinstalled dags. i am using fc3 and the zm rpms from cordel.

Basically. set the resolution to 320x240 on the cam , created a user zm with password. set up remote source zm:pass@cam1 , path /GetData.cgi and same resolution. Initially 8 bit grayscale then 24 bit colour. I have made sure my dns resolves so I dont have to use ip addreses but an ip should work as well.

beyond that I dont know any more. Still early days for me.

Dean
