Thanks PacoLM for your help. I finally updated the Foscam FW and changed the ZM to Foscam link. I also updated the CPU/Memory now to 4Gb. I am now getting 30 FPS on the video card cams and doing decent but less than 10 FPS on the two IP cams. The Foscam is now running with no problems 24/7. The Pana...

I'm not seeing the errors relating to starting ZM / ZM fix in my startup as you see them. My ZMFix file though is in a different place than yours.

Thanks Paco. The new camera I have is the FI8918W. It starting locking up yesterday after running for "days" on newest ZM version level. This morning set it to snapshot and it still locked up. I'm very cautious now relating to firmware updates as the previous model (bricked on the shelf no...

Currently its sitting where I purchased the camera at Device FW version 11.22.2.23 Webu UI version 2.4.18.15 Days running ZM 1.24.x and no lockups at an uncapped FPS, 640X480 with the PM control file. Previously with ZM 1.23.X the same Foscam would lock up in a few minutes to where I would have to p...

Thanks letsharehowto & Panda for the great install script and guide to installing ZM. I have a question and not sure whether its related to the build or ZM 1.24.2 in general. In Release 1.22.0 (on a list of adustments to ZM) it states: FEATURE : A zm.pid file is now placed in /var/run/zm when Zo...

The good news is that I have left the configuration at 640X480 in streaming mode with the newest Zoneminder version 1.24.2 / Ubuntu 10.10 and its not locking up the Foscam. Not really sure why with the ZM version 1.23.4 it would lock up the Foscam. The control via the PM file works well also. The su...

I was able to set up both the Panasonic and Foscam PT cameras in ZM. I didn't really have any issues except for one. I edited the file and the name of the control file for the updated PT Foscam that I am using. I do not see a reference to the perl path that you write about in the control script? I d...

I'll let you know in a couple of days.

I just moved the ZM server to 1.2.4.2/Ubuntu 10.10 and haven't configured the two IP cams yet.

I'm having problems with running the Xap piece right now.

I "was" using 1.23.3 of ZM and it worked fine.

I'm also looking for a decent camera at a reasonable price.

I've read and heard very good things about the Mobotix cameras but don't want a spend that much at this time.

Here's a quickie review of some decent cameras / prices.

Good news Mika! Looks like you found an error in the original Panasonic.pm file relating to using something other than port 80. Apologies. I should have tried changing the port number on my Panasonic camera to see if "control" worked. Did you compare control scripts to find the error? The ...

There is a UK dealer of said cards right here: [url]http://www.camsecure.co.uk/Zoneminder.html[/url] These are the exact same cards that I have been using for years. The only difference is that I put heat sinks on the 8 video chips. They still get rather warm to the touch but running for 5-6 years. ...

I kept playing with the resolution until I found one that worked. I have one camera that initially was set at 640X480. The view and specs though were of a "wide screen" prospective and I was able to get the camera to stream video at: 720X480. I am utilizing an 8 chip / 8 port 878A card wit...

One of the first IP cams that I used was the Panasonic. Today its still on line after about 6 years. I do remember having some issues where the "control" portion appeared not to work. Afterwards just noticed it was a delay but that the control motion worked fine. As stated have a look at p...

The new Foscam exhibits much of the same behavior as the older model. I can get streaming video at 320X240 without the Foscam locking up. At 640X480 it locks up as before after a period of time. Instead now doing a snapshot.cgi at 640X480 and it doesn't lock up but its a bit limiting using ZM with t...

I ended up reloading the binaries (provided by Foscam). Doing that the camera stayed in an endless loop. I did purchase the new revision of the camera. (8918) Some nice new features. I am testing this one also with ZM. Its locking the same with ZM as the previous model. Its set to a 640X480 picture ...
