Grandtec camera errors and ZM

Post by tkalfaoglu »

Hi there. I got a Grantec wifi IP camera. I set the FPS to be 1.0 , so as not to tax the camera or the wifi AP (linksys), however I still get

It does record successfully once in a while, but apparently it also misses a lot of frames.
I also see "400 Bad Request" results occasionally as well.
The URL is something like: user:pass@192.168.1.100/still.jpg
I tried "video.cgi" instead, but that apparently produces nothing.
Even on the browser it just waits and waits when I specify video.cgi..

Any ideas what I should check?
Thanks -tk

It is difficult to say for sure from the limited detail in the log. I would suggest changing the setting of Options->Network->ZM_NETCAM_REGEXPS and possibly ZM_HTTP_VERSION also to see if that help.
