I am on ZM 1.32.3 running on CentOS 7 as a VM under ESXi. I tried to update to the latest version of ZM but that went very badly so I reverted back to 1.32.3. I am generally having issues with motion detection, especially on one camera. I have two Ubiquiti G3 Flex cameras, both running the same/late...

OK, a tad bit more progress has been made. If I fire up FireBug and have a look at the HTML being fed to my browser, the img tag that displays the actual image is such : var streamSrc = "http://server:6363/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=6&scale=100&maxfps=5&buffer=1000&au...

Well, I have made some minor progress. I took the connection path from the cam's logfile for a connection made using the cam's internal web view, and got that to work in ZM setting the source type to ffmpeg, and the source path to rtsp://admin:airlive@192.168.123.100:554/h264/media.amp. Now, when I ...

I am trying to increase the frames/sec for my Airlive OD-600HD. I have tried just about everything I can think of. The FPS from the web based viewing direct to the camera gets me at least 15 FPS and things look great. However, in ZM I can never get better than 4 FPS. I have played with the ffmpeg op...

Sorry, should have said "can't" watch the captured stream, no "can"

Well, I spoke too soon. Althougth I got the streaming to work at an acceptable bandwidth, now the motion detection is not working. It captures the event, and you can view the stills one at a time, but you can watch the captured stream. I get tons of errors in the log files, here are some details. An...

Finally, I have things working properly, almost. On the options page, I set the STREAM_METHOD to MPEG and set the FFMPEG_INPUT_OPTIONS to -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -threads 0 -8x8dcd -b 3072 Now the bandwidth on my 100Mbit connection is down to about .15% utilization, way below the previous 2.5%. The...

Curtis, you guys have one of these cams in your Inventory room. Do you have the ability to set it up on ZM(1.24.x) and see if you get the same results ? I am on Fedora Linux(v10).

Pretty sure it is not the stream. I can tell when it is the stream as the image file size just keeps growing and never stops, I stopped it at 50mb. If you pause ZM, then right mouse on the image and click view image, it will open another browser tab/window with just the image, no stream. Then a righ...

Curtis, here is what I do know. I have done some bandwidth testing and at about 5 frames/sec at 640x480, it is utilizing a consistant 12.5% of my 100Mbit connection through ZM. If I go to the web server built into the cam and view the same stream, the bandwidth used on my 100Mbit connection is less ...

Yup, I forgot the divide by 8, my error. I just don't understand why the cam's internal web server can do the job, but ZM cant. I have tried all the setting posted at BlueCherry(where I bought the cam), none makes any difference whatsoever. /mjpg/video.mjpg?resolution=vga (30FPS) /mjpg/video.mjpg?re...

Hello all, I am looking for some help in configuring ZM in relation to the image size sent to the browser. I am using the AirLive OD-600HD and if I use the web interface built into the cam, all looks great, works great. Each frame is about 65kbytes in size and streams very nicely over the internet, ...

I have 2 servers, exact same hardware, exact same OS(Fedora). One is running ZM 1.24.x and the other is running ZM 1.23.x. There is a marked difference in the CPU load for ZM between these 2 servers. I am wondering if the network based cameras put a heavier load on ZM versus the capture card based c...

I contacted Curtis today, he recommended 3 cameras and I placed my order today. He was very helpful. I just hope it works with ZM including the PTZ. And if not, I hope we can work out an exchange. All is good so far. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Keith, thanks for the reply. Not sure why I had forgotten about bluecherry, that is where I got the capture card for the last ZM system that I set up. Looks like they only offer the 207W, which is OK, but I dont need the wireless and I will have to figure out how to get POE on the 207. I had seen ma...
