Connect ZM with Galaxy Note 5 Camera

Post by Rayg »

Hi All,

I hope everyone doing well today

I need someone to help me with ZM and it is important to me to write a report for my graduation about ZM.

I am trying out ZM (v1.30.4) to work with mobile camera as security camera or IP camera (Android Galaxy Note5). I am running Ubuntu 17.04

I have installed “IP-Webcam” on my Galaxy Note5 (Android 7.0, Kernel version 3.10.61s). I have noticed that I can see the video
through the URL “http://192.168.x.x:xx/” but in ZM dashboard does not show up. I am trying different installation guides from YouTube and here in the blog but none one of them it works. So, please I hope I find a solution for that to finish my report early.

Thank you All

most likely the configuration of the path to /cgi-bin/nph-zms is incorrect or does not match.
try this:
change Options->Paths->PATH_ZMS from /cgi-bin/nph-zms to
/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms.
does it work? if not check the all the apache configs that deal with telling the server how to reach the /cgi-bin

Thank you for your response

After I changed the path I got now a blue screen. Also, I don't know how I can check the apache configs, it's my first time to use the package

now check that the camera resolution is correct!! the blue screen's usual cause is a mis-match of what the camera is actually producing as a resolution and what you have entered in the setup. Use VLC to open the camera and there check the actual values and then correct them in the ZM camera setup.

I think you are close to getting it working.

Thank you so so much, It works now after I changes the resolution
the problem was the resolution is mis-match with ZM as you said

It fixed, Done!
