Zoneminder Foscam Red image

Post by smot11 »

Hey guys, Having issues with the newest version of zoneminder, after recently updating my network/ re-installing my server.
I'm using foscam FI8918W IP cameras, running a fresh install of ubuntu server 12.04 running zoneminder 1.26.4 and used THIS guide.
I'm using this as a guide to how to set up my camera.
With the basics of how I set this up out of the way;

I am getting the "red screen" error that a few users have being experiencing, with different error messages.
I cant attach the image - 3 image limit, and can't post external links due to being too spammy for a new user.

I checked if my camera has an active steam accessible via the intranet (yes)
Finally, I set log level to 5, and saved the logs

As far as I can tell;
The camera is able to connect, zoneminder is actively comparing the pixels from it (Second screenshot), yet i'm still getting the red screen error.
Can anyone suggest how I may approach fixing this issue?

Hi,

The errors you are receiving are because of a resolution mismatch. The camera's resolution is higher than the resolution you entered.

That worked, thankyou for your help. Out of curiosity, how were you able to work this out? Was it the "Buffer is undersized" error?
