That is interference. Are you using unshielded cable? Is the cable ran next to cables carrying AC power? I had the same issue but much worse when I was still using analog cameras out in my garage. I have power and unshielded CAT5 lines ran to the garage. Analog signal over CAT5 which is ran next to ...

In options. Images tab. Make sure "Is the ffmpeg video encoder/decoder installed" is checked. Make sure the ffmpeg path is set and correct. Then you will have the option for video export.

You need to set it to Modect. Mocord records continuous while detecting motion. Modect records only when there is motion.

I'm running ubuntu 12.04 and PTZ support works right out of the box with my Foscam PTZ clone. My experience with getting PTZ support working has all been with getting the names correct and the same. Filename and settings names all must be the same. UPPER CASE, lower case, exactly the same. No spaces...

try not using autostop.

If your clicking on the controls and your still get an error like "Control response was status = undefined" I think you still have something named wrong somewhere. In your control file, your file name, settings in zoneminder for the control file/type.

I had this problem too.

Go to options, images tab.

Make sure the "Is the ffmpeg video encoder/decoder installed" cheked.

Also make sure ffmpeg is installed and the path is correct.

I think I has issues like this when trying to get my PTZ camera to work. I dont remember what the exact issue was but I can tell you a few places to look. Make sure your control script has the correct permissions. For example mine are root:root with -rw-r--r--. Example if you script is named Foscam....

I'm not to sure what your wanting. Can you provide the code for your script?

Are you saying if motion is detected by camera 1, PTZ camera will move to position 2. If motion is detect by camera 2, move PTZ camera to position 3. Something like that?

Are you viewing the monitors in montage mode or individual? If in montage and you are using FireFox you will have to change some settings in FF in order to see all the cameras at once.

You can add a .%f to the end of the seconds to get XX.xx seconds.

Example
%N - %y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%f

Its a StrfTime format if you want to look into other options.

You can chage that but it does not say what state its currently in. At lease for me it only says "stopped" or "running". If I change to state "test" it will only show running at the top of the page. I dont see anything in the database that stores the current run state s...

I took a quick look at the run states and I dont see where it loggs what state its currently in. From the way it looks when you create a run state all it does is change the state of the monitors and thats it. Someone else with more knowledge than me can chime in here with a definite answer. If it do...

I've been playing with the camera some more and got a few more things working. Camera now can move relative and diagonally. I've corrected the movements so they move the right way. I'm unable to get auto stop to work at the moment so you will have to stop manually if doing a continuous pan or tilt. ...

After looking into the commands for this post I have found that this camera accepts degree command instead of the onstep command. Maybe this can be use for motion tracking? I'll look into it but dont expect anything soon. Sample command. To move camera up 50 positions decoder_control.cgi?command=2&a...

I had to modify the Foscam PTZ control file to make the Wanscam PTZ camera work somewhat correctly. I've also modified it so I can easily command it to go to any position with a simple shell script. I apologize for the sloppy code edits. In time I hope to clean it up and get some other things workin...
