Re: ipcam doesn't work!

should be ok at 320 res. you are setting the cam to that res as well as zm? 640x480 in colour will often be too much for normal shared mem setups

Re: What camera from DX.com to work with ZM?

Imo cheap ip cameras should be avoided. All the ones ive ever tested have failed to be reliable

Re: MOCORD not breaking video into segments

I would suggest your segment end setting is set to idle? if so it was in alarm for a long period. Set to time instead.

Re: Axis 221 IP camera

As above id be amazed if an axis camera wasnt compatible. Just be careful with the maxfps string. If its not supported in the firmware then it may cause the camera to provide no image. Remove that from the default axis string and you should be fine. to test start with jpeg and work up from there

Re: IP Camera over the internet excessive usage

Were you using a different stream from the camera before. ispy uses the aforge .net library for image grabbing. Which is very good. But there may be more bandwidth efficient ways of you getting your stream.
