IE uses cambozola, FF does NOT

check if cambo is installed correctly, the settings in options regarding cambo/streaming etc and the permissions

also try clearing/disabling the browsercache, they use different strategies

check the faq and the "compatibility list"

usb cams are very difficult since they have so many different chipsets internally, and only a handful models are proven to be good for linux

i record continously, with mocord, but have a filter set up that deletes all events with zero alarm frames both happens every 900 sec, so the worst case would be the motion happens at the end of one segment and nothing anymore in the next this way i don't have to worry about 'warmup frames' etc but ...

i looked a bit at the sourcecode and i think it'll work with any MMX and does NOT require SSE1,2,3 etc

post your ipcs -l and ipcs -m again, change the numbers in sysctl, and see how the reported amounts change to find out IF you need # of bytes or # of pages in there (depends on the distro/kernelversion) also try much lower, real sizes eg 100MB per camera, you need only xresolution x yresolution x 3 ...

i still have bogus events (1-10 per day) but i have NEVER had the source - i got a deb package from a gentleman at ftp.northern-ridge.com.au which was dated sep 2009 (no idea which SVN that was), and did some customizing - on ubu 904 32bit desktop with zm 1242 on an old P4 the number of events and d...

did you solve this one?

i think your mem settings are scaringly high, you don't need to enable more memory than you actually have ...

also some distros use real mem size for shmmax and shmall, some use pages (with 4096 byte), check your actual limits with 'ipcs -l'

i would still suspect the browser cache causing the problem: if, after some use, the cache gets flushed (exceeded its set size limit), and the older ZM stuff gets thrown out -> it works again, for a while, till the cache holds again many of the directives to the server, and your problem starts again...

try another browser - i had opera 10,1010,1020,1050 , IE6,7,8, FF35,36,37 etc - the only one that really worked throughout all of ZM was FF307! if it's your own machine there's no (security) problem using older browsers also proxys/browsercaches interfere with it, the whole GUI works only 'in realti...

running 8GB RAM makes me wonder if you use a VM or 64bit mode - both have their own problems, so check the documentation for SQL problems ... not saying it's you messing it up, but i've had to troubleshoot a sun virtualbox and that was a nightmare!

within ZM try creating a new user with all permissions enabled, see if you get access to the cams

... call it e.g. 'zmsuperadmin' and delete the non-functioning admin user if you got the config right

i never use the username admin anywhere, that's just inviting hacker$
