Great. Spammers are the scum of the earth. I've had to disable the forums completely at work and we're getting over 3,000 spam emails a day on a little domain where only 100 real mails is the average.

Takes me a lot of time that should be more creatively spent.

If they're like the 211, once you've set the lens up (turn off auto-iris first and use the setup page in the camera's web config) they're just like any other Axis cam.

Speaking of which, anyone else see the "Axis" sticker on that police helicopter drone thing on the news this week?

Been using exclusively AMD's since the DX4-100 days, never had a wobble or a glitch, love 'em. This quad will be nice indeed :D

Yes, afaik it would work - but you would need a *beast* of a machine. I don't have much experience of other systems but I imagine they would all have similar demands on hardware. We'd be talking multi processor server level technology costing several thousand pounds at a guess. As an example, my twi...

Axis have a url-builder to the specification you need as part of the camera settings.

Use that, you don't give us enough information re size, colour depth etc to do it for you.

Re: how far can i go?

Would this work if i had say.. 300 IP cameras (all with public IPs) attached to it? Is there a limit to how many cameras this will support simultaneously? Plus at 15fps 640x480 what would i need to support that? Not even close. You might get 30 cams per system, maybe a little more on a real powerho...

I'm curious - why would you need 120fps per camera, do you have some special circumstances? Or is that 120 per card, so 30fps/camera? ZM will work at whatever speeds your hardware can support, of course - what I think you're "missing" is that tweaking fps discussions are normally about IP ...

Just as a side note - this also applies if Apache2 crashes. Every now and then Apache2 will die without giving any reason. Any attempt to restart will give this error; Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:82 (or 80 or 81 or whatever port apache is listening to). Worka...

Stills not being displayed.

Long time ZM user. Bug with current release, puzzling the pants off me. Been happening for a long time with server1 and that was a strange beast with some quirks so I put it down to server oddness, but now it's repeating on a new install on a new machine. This has happened with two new installs unde...

New machine - AMD-64-X2, running a 32-bit SMP kernel.

Similar success - reduction of around a half of load and cpu usage.

Now running modect on 12 cams at mid fph VGA b&w, each CPU showing 15-30% load.

http://digdilem.org/code/tmp/CamImg.jpg Apologies for wonkiness and for time before posting, need to go back out and adjust. Quality is fine and on-par with the Axis with this extra lens.

For some reason it's known as the NC1600H in the UK.

Ordered now, will report back when it's in.

Yep - for some reason it's not usually enabled by default. For my last server I had to build a specific kernel for it (also as it's a quad cpu machine, SMB needs to be enabled too). That said, building a kernel under debian is quite easy if you build it as a .deb package which you can then install. ...
