Remote camera - "Unable to get response"

Post by liviab »

Hello!!

I'm tring to use a remote camera however the ZoneMinder is not getting any response from the camera.
I configured the monitor with this options:
  • Remote Protocol: http
    Remote Method: simple
    Remote Host Name: [IP]
    Remote Host Port: [port]
    Remote Host Path: (nothing)
    Remote Host SubPath: /cgi-bin/.....
Log:

Code: Select all

Jun 29 17:40:51 zm zmc_m1[8276]: INF [Starting Capture]
Jun 29 17:40:51 zm zmc_m1[8276]: ERR [Invalid response status 404: Site or Page Not Found]
Jun 29 17:40:51 zm zmc_m1[8276]: ERR [Unable to get response]
Jun 29 17:40:51 zm zmc_m1[8276]: ERR [Failed to capture image from monitor 1 (0/1)]
Jun 29 17:40:51 zm zmdc[8227]: ERR ['zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 255]
If I try to access http://[IP]:[port]/cgi-bin/...., I can view the image.
What is the possible problem?

I've just installed the version 1.24.2, in a different machine, and it's happening the same problem.

You path setting is incorrect. Since you gave an incomplete path to us, there is not much other help we can offer as it only seems to verify the error.
What camera?
What path is suggested and where did you come by this information?

Yep, it seems to be broken :idea:

The path was incompleted.
Thanks for your reply, Cordel.

Glad you got it sorted.
What ended up being the correct path and what camera?

Hi Cordel!

The IP camera is in a local network, but the configuration is like bellow:

Remote Protocol: http
Remote Method: regexp
Remote Host Name: [IP]
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: (nothing)
Remote Host SubPath: cgi-bin/.....

:wink:

I'm having problems too...

My camera (PTZ2N with palantir streaming from another PC) works well on 1.23.3, but I can not get it to work on 1.24.x.

I can't find any good explanation of the difference between Regexp and what ever the other mode is. I can't find any good explanation of whether I need to supply my path in the Host Path or SubPath feild. I'm guessing the protocol is http?

My stream works in my browser with:
http://10.10.55.227:3000/?mode=single

On 1.23.3 the options are all different and I can't seem to guess the right ones for 1.24.x.

Any hints?

I set the configuration up using the web GUI.

Source was remote...
