Hi,
i am using Ubuntu as OS(16.04) and a ip camera(digitus optidome). the camera is detected as ovif cam and everything seems ok(url, caption res). the url can I use in VLC and I see the pictures.
But in zoneminder I see only a blank windows.
Can anybody help me?
No Picture in zoneminder
Re: No Picture in zoneminder
Hi snoah777
Did you try using the option in the ZM Console - Add Monitor and at the top right of that screen, select the ONVIF option to search for your camera?
Did you also check that you have the path set correctly in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zoneminder.conf
in the line that says:- ScriptAlias /zm/cgi-bin /usr/lib/zoneminder/cgi-bin to make sure the /zm is included?
Did you also check the Path in ZM Console - Options - Paths and make sure PATH_ZMS is set to /zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms.
That's all I had to do to fix the blank screen issues.
But I'm no experts just a new users trying to help..
Cheers
Steve

I have checked everything and it is all OK like you described it.

Re: No Picture in zoneminder
I have reviewed the OptiDome user manual and could not find anything helpful.
You said that it works in VLC. So, in Zoneminder use Source ffmpeg and enter the string you used in VLC/Network Stream in Zoneminder Source Path.
VLC will show the resolution of the camera in Tools/Media Information/Codec/Display Resolution. Use what is shown or reduce that value by half. For example my camera can do 1280X720, 640x360, 320x180
Use 32 bit colour.
The other thing is that you need to have plenty of memory to use higher resolutions. the /dev/shm value in the upper right of the Zoneminder console will show the amount of tmpfs used.
