Foscam FI8906W settings?

Post by gmc »

I've just installed Zoneminder 1.29 on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and trying to configure a Foscam FI8906W camera.

Camera is on a wired network and if I browse to http://192.168.1.146/videostream.cgi?us ... ord&rate=6
The stream works in a browser and vlc.

In the setting for ZM I'm using:
Source:Remote
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Host Name: 192.168.1.146
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path /videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd=password&rate=6
Target colorspace: 32 bit

However when I view the monitor all I see if a blue screen.

Any ideas on how I can fix this - read through multiple posts but haven't yet found a solution.

ZM Logs:

Unable to read header
Unable to get response. Disconnecting

Managed to solve this by change.

Set capture to 640x480 instead of 320x240
