fra&fra · Post by **fra&fra** » Tue Nov 23, 2004 4:21 pm

I istalleed zm on Fedora2. I'm using Apache 2.0.52, PHP 4.3.9 and Mysql 3.23.58-9.

I'm not able to view any image and video from Axis 2100. I configured it as:
Host name: http://192.168.1.205
Host port: 80
Host path: /cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi

If i run wget -S http:// 192.168.1.205/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi it work fine

This my log files.

I reduced the size of the captured image because i had an other error of "enogh shared memory" but now it seem to be a camera problem.

Is there anybody can help me?
Thanks

The host name should be just 192.168.1.205 without the http on it. Otherwise you're giving a protocol specifier which doesn't make sense.

Phil,

This time your problem is that you have defined your monitor to have one images size (maybe 320x240) but your camera is returning an image of a different size (maybe 640x480). You need to do one of three things (1) change your monitor to have the same size as the camera image (2) change the config of your camera to have the same size as the monitor or (3) use the Axis cgi parameters (available in the developer section of Axis.com) to change the image size returned in the path.

Phil,

Hi Phil, i changed the image size on the Axis camera. I set to 320*240 pixel, but i have no video and image.

At 640*480 i have shared memory problems, and at 320*240 this my zmdc.log files:

I' m getting image now from 2 Axis 2100 (at 7.39 and 8.57 FPS) but only in still mode and i have no stream.
I have no error in log files and i think to have all plug-in needed to watch video in a browser web (Mozilla in a Fedora 2).

Should i follow some particular configuration?
Is it possible to be a memory problem?

Thanks everybody

You should be able to watch streams in Mozilla without any kind of plugin. Make sure that Options->Tools is set to either 'auto' or 'yes'.

What do you see instead of the streams, or do you just not get the option to choose it? Also check your bandwidth settings, at low bandwidth streaming can sometimes looks as slow as stills.

Phil,

fra&fra · Post by **fra&fra** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 8:49 am

Thank you Phil for your reply

Now i able to have a stream but only if i set (in the Option -> Video) the jpeg streaming method (and i capture video from /cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi), otherwise i see a grey window.

I would to undestand why there is no streaming in mpeg mode.

Thank you again Phil

fra&fra · Post by **fra&fra** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 8:53 am

In the Option -> Tools i set 'auto' and zoneminder is configured for high bandwidth.

Post by **zoneminder** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 1:48 pm

There are no browsers that support streaming in MPEG mode natively as far as I know so you have to have it set to jpeg unless you know you have a plugin to handle it.

Currently I know Windows Media Player works as a plugin on IE, and I know that people have got mplayer working with Mozilla but there's no general rule for these so ZM can't autodetect and play MPEG in the page if other plugins are used unless someone tells me about them first so I can add support.

Phil,

Phil,

How I go to inform the password for access to the image?

If I to inform thus: <USER>:<PASS>192.168.1.1/IMAGE.JPG, I will receive an error from inexistent protocol, correct ?

Anyway, i try this way and i receive this errors :
