Source Type: Web Site

Post by goofy »

Hello everybody.
I'm running two Zoneminder installations, location1 and location2, version 1.32.3.
I'm trying to add a camera from location2 at location1, using Source Type: Web Site, Function: Monitor.
Using the follwing: https://ip-addr:port/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&user=usr&pass=pwd
This does work from any browser.
When I save these settings, Source Type goes back to Local!
Seems impossible to do this!
Anyone tried this?
Best regards
Rune

Do you have them set up as multi server?
You also need to tell us your Linux distro and version.

Hi
No, they are running both as single servers.
I'm running Lubuntu 18.04 on both.

I don't get this on my UB18.04 zm1.32.3 setup.
The monitor stays as website.

Strange, I've tried this on both installations, same thing happen.
Did a fresh 1.32.3 install on one of them, since I upgraded from 1.32.2 to 1.32.3,
but same thing happen....

in this case using a similar setup I found using the remote method captures another ZM system's monitor stream very well.
So not the "Web Site" method but the "Remote" method and then a path like

Code: Select all

/cgi-bin/nph-zms?scale=100&width=320px&height=240px&mode=jpeg&maxfps=30&monitor=3&auth=06f91479b0cf8d51baf69d4ab0a317d0
.

you might have to set Options->Systems->AUTH_RELAY to "none" on the ZM system you are grabbing the stream from

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I've tried this, but this method only support HTTP and RTSP.
I need to use HTTPS to access the server/camera.
