Check your resolution with VLC. Lower the resolution and frame rate by half or more

Hi... I have tried this and keep getting a blank screen on ZM 1.30.4 and Ubuntu 17.10. Firmware on Camera is updated. The camera works fine on Foscam software. Can anyone help?

Get the camera to stream with VLC. Also use VLC to check the reported resolution and use that in ZM. Use ffmpeg.

Does any one have this working?
Would it possible to post a few screen shots of their settings in ZoneMinder and from the FOSCAM camera Settings.

I just cant get this to work for the life of me. Works fine from VLC.

Thanks

The url posted in the initial message as "/VideoMain" did not work for me but "/videoMain" (with initial letter not capital) did work. It's quite possible if you are having problems you may be capitalizing it without realizing so.
