Axis 2120 configuration?

Post by trainman51 »

So I haven't worked in Linux for 10+ years and even then I was clueless. Anyways I have recently setup a ZoneMinder server for security at a train station I am involved with. That said we are using 15 Axis 2120 IP cameras, and I am unable to figure out exactly how to configure ZoneMinder and the Cameras so that they work. Does anyone have any experiance with these cameras?

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, and ZoneMinder 1.25.0

Thanks,

Nate

Remote Host Path should be: /axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=&showlength=1&resolution=704x576

Well now it appers to connect to the camera but does not give me a live feed and I keep getting this error in the Log file fro ZoneMinder 'Shared data size conflict in shared_data for monitor North, expected 328, got 316" and this keeps coming up 'Waiting for capture daemon'

Alternatively, adjust the shared memory as per the FAQ on the Wiki. It's quite easy and quick to do.

This took care of the error. But ZoneMinder still does not give me a live stream from the camera. The Log is Orange and keeps repeating the error 'waiting for capture daemon.'

If the camera IP address is red in zm console, then the problem is probably with shared memory settings. And make sure camera settings are correct.
