Are the firmware versions of your two 8910s the same?

Yes, they are the same.
If you aren't already, you might keep your eye on the 1.25 forum where the issue is/has been talked about. It looks like it is more a problem with the control script than anything we might be doing.

I can use the software packaged with the FI8910W to completely control the cameara. Works fine. In a windows machine? What you don't mention is whether you unchecked the pt setting by accessing the camera directly using the browser. If I recall, for this model, the default for pt is disabled. [edit...

Glad you figured it out. Had me thinking.
FWIW, the third line of your crontab will run every minute.

Maybe some additions to each line.

Did you?

Sorry no experience with SmartTV but I've done/do this via a web browser through in a htpc on both sd and hd tv's. No matter what is happening on the htpc, I can click a button on the remote and instantly view the cam that I have set up to view. It has a very big wow factor when people see it happen...

You don't list you're settings but I'd start with shmmax and shmall

You're setup might need to be different but this works for me:

I am successfully using this camera with Ubuntu 10.10 and zoneminder 1.24.2. I made sure that I setup the camera for pt by accessing the camera directly and also set a static ip. I added a user and gave that user a password and the status of operator. If I recall, a pt setting speed of 0 will disable.

I use the same webcam
using:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
134217728
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
805011456

Logitech pro 9000
I have this working at 800x600 @ 7fps

Have read up on:
kernel.shmall
kernel.shmmax
