Foscam C2 zmc not stable
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:19 am
Newbie to Zoneminder, trying to set up my first camera.
I have a clean install of Debian 9.2 on an old PC, and a clean install of Zoneminder 1.30.4.
My camera is a Foscam C2.
Source Type Remote
Function Modect
Remote Protocol HTTP
Remote Method Simple
Remote Host Name [IP addr]
Remote Host Port 88
Remote Host Path: cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=XXX&pwd=XXX
Target Colorspace: 32 bit
Capture Width: 1920
Capture Height: 1080
Symptoms. I can monitor this camera perfectly. If I click on the monitor I get stable images at almost 7 fps. Motion events mostly don't work. There are many errors in the log suggesting difficulty talking to the camera. I don't understand why I can stream from the camera but cannot capture reliably from it. My load factor is typically under .25, my shm is 44%, and my disk is 6%. This is the only monitor enabled.
Here are a few minutes of log, starting with a zoneminder start:
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much.
