I am still locking up the camera with ZM (after a number of hours) and now found out that I can lock it using various cgi commands rapidly in succession. (IE: if I make the camera work a bit). So for the time being its really a no go on this camera. If you watch it boot up via the JTAG cable you'll ...

Got my Foscam back up. It needed the newest FW file from Foscam Tech. Installed the wide angle lens. Very difficult to install. Looks good except with the IR illuminators on. Because the lens is just about flush with the camera the light from the LEDs distort the lens due to reflections. The origina...

I didn't have any JTAG pins so needed to install some.

While setting it up I must have cold booted it (mixing the RX,TX and Ground) because it came back to life. I did get a boot loader prompt so reconfiguring while I watch via the terminal connection.

Bricked it last night; plugging the camera on and off a few times in a matter of a few minutes. Now when you plug in the power the green LED goes on and off every few minutes and I hear a click coming from the camera. Here is the procedure for unbricking. Will give it a try today. The procedure is h...

Foscam still locking up

Noticed now that Foscam will run 5-7 days great.

After between 5-7 days though its locking up.

I am not sure why. It would be great if the Foscam log showed something other than access to the camera.

I'm using both the Panasonic and the Foscam PM. I'll attach the one that Dave wrote up. The first time I set it up I made a mistake on the spelling. I use Windows 7 on the Media Center PC...but I keep going back to using the NMT instead. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9707/foscam2.jpg # ========...

I have a similiar tablet with a Trans-Meta 400Mhz or 500Mhz CPU running a Touch screen application. Its a bit slow though. The ZM new and old are running 3.X dual core CPU's with 2Gb of memory. This is what I did for the memory tweak. 50% of the cameras are color and the others are B&W cams. I a...

Sounds good Wollo. Much of the ZM documented "tweaking" if very simple. I use both Webminder and Winscp to make adjustments. IE: the adjustments have speed up booting, etc. Last night played some more with memory configurations for Foscam on the ZM link at 640X480. Foscam is still up this ...

With 1.23.3 control file is working fine with Foscam. I also have a Panasonic IP cam and its control file works well also. Initially when configuring the control file for the Foscam I mistyped the name and it didn't work until I saw that piece of it. Let us know how long it runs with the Foscam IP c...

Another Test

Last night opened a session to the Foscam with Firefox and left it running all night with no issues. Dave has suggested to bring down the resolution to 320X240. Only thing is that I have 9 other cameras running at 640X480. One of those is a Panasonic IP cam which has run now for "years". I...

This time it locked up on day 2. Nothing in the logs are indicatory of any anything. Very simple setup. I am not using wireless. I have it set up with a static IP. Its becoming a PITA to disconnect/reconnect the camera at the power source with every lockup. I wonder if downgrading the firmware will ...

Lowering the frame rate on the ZM/Foscam link appears to have worked. No lock ups after a couple of hours.

No lock ups after about 14 hours or so.

Another test

Last night did another test. One computer I left with FF/IE streaming video from Foscam and it worked fine over a couple of hours. While watching connected ZM back to Foscam. The camera locked up in less than 10 minutes of streaming. Odd because it takes the camera entirely off line (can't even ping...

Foscam autonomous testing

This morning "disconnected" Foscam from ZM and let it run by itself. Worked all day. I am not sure what it is in ZM causing it to lock up.
