Hi,
I have this, my first camera working reliably now except for movement of it.

The supplied windows s/w works so there is no fault with it.

When I click on a movement icon I get this error message in the apache2 error.log

"Unknown option: device"

The camera is at 192.168.0.237, the control type is set to Panasonic IP. This seems to have chosen 5 for control device and the control address is 192.
168.0.237

The windows software set up an administrator on installing with a username and password. I have also tried this as the control device

username:password@192.168.0.237 which gives the same error message.

I have followed this thread to no avail http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... ight=blc10

Anyone have any ideas ?

add a leading or trailing / to the address in the setup of the control. I cant remeber which but i used to use it on my blc-10's

Sorry to be a pain, Ive tried all of these:

192.168.0.237/
/192.168.0.237
username:password@/192.168.0.237
/username:password@192.168.0.237
username:password@192.168.0.237/

Still the same errors in apache....

.......and i've just realised my type, it is a BL-C10, not a BP-C10

im sure its a leading /
and i never used auth so id turn that off till its working.

There are 2 boxes an address and something else have you tried putting it in both and restarting zm after the change

Hi,
I didn't have authentication on, the install program in windows forced me to set an Administrator username and password.
It also created a guest user. I changed this guest user to have full permission to do anything. If I point the web browser to the camera direct I can do anything without logging on. So it seems authentication is not a factor.
The camera has two users, administrator, and guest. I cannot delete either - seems like they are the default, built in users.

However at this point, I think i'll give up and just be happy with a static camera.
It's beaten me.

Thanks
Jeff

lol, it definetly works (or at least used to) i dont use the control anymore but did have it. Im sure in the address it was a trailing / but it could have been a leading. Ensure you are using the pana setting

Well,
just to let everyone know I didn't give up.

192.168.0.237/
worked.

I've just revisited this after a month AND after running the ubuntu updates and it just worked (tm)

good enough for me.
