eBay IP Camera. Now which settings to use...
Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 3:00 pm
Firstly, Hi everyone!
I installed the ZM software on a box at home a couple of weeks ago and it all worked nicely (after the SATA CD install issue), except it didnt support any of the usb cameras i had to hand. I also had a 4 port capture card but no cameras so I then found some nice IP cameras on ebay. I ended up buying 3, wireless ip cameras, with pan and tilt and infra red, pretty good deal.
So, ive had a little play with the cameras in the office and they are working nicely, the next stage is to get ZoneMinder to recognise them.
I had a quick search on the forum/wiki to find details of the parameters i need to enter but the problem i have is that i dont really know what brand they are, and thats making it all a little tricky.
This is the ebay link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wireless-Colour-I ... 27ab91d14a
Has anybody else used these, or does anyone know the settings, or can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Im planning on getting the 3 cameras setup, mostly to spy on the hedgehogs in the garden at night, but maybe down the line ill find something more useful to do with them!
Many thanks

EDIT:
I've just come across this:
http://www.gadgetvictims.com/2009/07/fo ... t-two.html
Which seems to match the interface and box i have so its looking good (ish)
I'll keep you posted...
EDIT2:
Ok, so it seems this is the camera:

But im yet to get any images to actaully display using these settings, i'll keep working on it
PS - My device info:
Device Info
Device ID 00606E79863A
Device Firmware Version 11.14.1.34
Device Embeded Web UI Version 2.4.8.9
Do i need to upgrade the firmware to get this to work do you think? (id rather not upgrade it unless i really have to!)
EDIT3:
So i ran this through VLC and it worked perfectly:
http://10.11.100.143/video.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin
However, in ZM i added a Simple HTTP camera @ 10.11.100.143 on port 80 with the remote host path:
/video.cgi?user=admin&pwd=admin
24 bit video color, 640 x 480 size
...and it doesnt work, grrr.
I can't be that far off getting it working I dont think? HELP! (please)
EDIT4:
So, I flashed the firmare, and after a slight panic thinking "it probably should have replied to a ping by now" it all came back online and all was good.
I can now also access the video stream in VLC via:
http://10.11.100.143/videostream.asf?us ... &pwd=admin
But still cant get ZM to recognise it.
So close yet...
EDIT5:
Still no joy, beginning to think my server install may have become corrupt somewhat, i did fiddle around with it a little tying to get it working last time round with the capture card and my digia camera plugged into one of the video ports. Does anyone know of an internet ip camera that should work with my setup that i can use to test to norrow down where the issue is. - thank you in advance!
