Anyone?

This seems to be the cheapest, ok quality camera around.

If you can provide a link to either a live camera, or some documentation, then someone should be able to work out whether it will work or not.

Edimax IC-1000 Camera available at:
http://38.100.15.4
Username: zone
password: 9999

Documentation and vendor link:
http://www.edimax.com.tw/html/english/p ... C-1000.htm

If anybody wants to work with me to get this going under ZoneMinder.
The camera is inside a rack in a datacenter and usually dark (as the door is closed). For testing purposes I can work with somebody so we could test the motion detection.

Thanks in advanced. Please PM me if you want to get this going. The IC-1000 seems like a good camera for the price (I picked it up for $70 bucks or so). And it's small.

The IC-1000 can only output a proprietry Motion-JPEG stream on (by default) port 4321.

I have written a PHP script that turns the stream into a single JPEG image, and it works to the point where you can load the image in both IE and Firefox... however Zoneminder complains of a bogus JPEG header when the URL is configured as a remote camera.

Feb 20 14:00:48 cctv zmc_m9[32636]: ERR [Found bogus jpeg header '3462']

I can provide a URL to the output PHP script of any of the ZM developers can lend a hand, and if can get be gotten to a point where it's reliable and works in ZM, I can happily provide the code itself.

You can PM it to me and I'll take a look when time permits.

I found this TCL script. Have to check it out this week.
Don't know exactly how it works yet.

Yeah, that's what I based the PHP script off. The TCL script (I think, don't know much TCL) appears to open a window on a linux desktop to display the image. The PHP script I've written grabs an image from the camera and spits it out as a JPEG to a web browser.

Hi,

Did anyone get this camera to work or do you have recommendations for some other ultra-cheap, ok quality camera?

BR,
-h

Okay I am monitoring now with the Edimax IC-1000. It was quite simple.

- Download the edimax2.tcl script from http://gem.win.co.nz/mb/misc/edicam/
(Thanks for the nice script!)

- install tclsh on a unix/linux machine. in my case it is the machine I am running zoneminder on

- To start the script on startup I wrote this. You might want to write your own to reflect what you want to do.

#!/bin/sh
tclsh8.4 edicam2.tcl -host 192.168.3.249 -port 4321 -serverhost 192.168.3.10 -serverport 1234&

-host is where you put your edicam's ip
-port is where you put your edicam's listening port for the stream
-serverhost is the machine you run the script on's ip
-serverport is the port you want the webserver to listen on.

Now go to http://serverhost:serverport and see if you see a static image. If you see it great!

- set up a new monitor in zoneminder
Source Type: Remote
Source Tab:
Remote Host Name: (ip of the -serverhost)
Remote Host Port: (port defined in -serverport)
Remote Host Path: /frame.jpeg
Capture Width: 640
Capture Height: 480

You might have to play with the shm settings. In my case I had to increase the shm with the settings I found in the FAQ. Or zmc crashed cause not enough shared memory was available.

Hope this was usefull.

Maybe it can help you - simple perl script that capture Hawking HNC210 stream (just like Edimax IC-1000)
