Hi, i have a bosch ip day night camera im currently testing. Its an mpeg cam but has a jpeg available
if i
wget
http://10.0.0.2/snap.jpg
or use the above in a browser i get an image but zm wont. I had a similar problem with an invision megapixel i was trying a few months ago.
If needed i can put this public but im obviously missing something. If ie and mozilla can get the image and wget saves it as a image/jpeg then zm should be able to get too

have you tried using something like ethereal to look in depth at the response that the camera is returning? it could be something as simple as the line terminators being different, which ie/mozilla/wget can handle but zm can't.
if you can put it public i could take a look tonight - i'd also be interested to see what the image quality is like. what model of camera is it?

Wget can take -s and -S switches to show the headers etc. That would be useful to see.

Actually it was the --save-headers switch that I meant to use. I thought it was -s but it isn't. Can you try again with wget --save-headers --server-response <url> and post the first few lines of the output file. You probably don't even need the server response bit actually any more.

Hi James
I have created a monitor for the Bosch cam and it seems to work just fine. Are you sure you don't have some other problem affecting it?
