Zoneminder doesn't refresh the camera in Montage Review mode

[jeanlikethis]

I have 18 camers connected to ZM 1.30.4. Camers are from two brands: Foscam and TpLink nc220

What I found is that TpLink nc220 always drop the WIFI connection and in some cases, once I open the Montage Review mode, nc220 is not updating the stream. This happens even I clicked into the camera. Eg. I open the camera in the morning and it still shows the graph of last night.

I need to switch back to console page, click the "Freezing" nc200 Source (IP address) and save it again. This will trigger the refresh and it will show the most currently graph/stream now.

My Foscam camers are all good. Their connection and graph/stream updating are all working find 24/7.

Is this a nc220 config problem, or just the nc220 is problematic in this case (compare to Foscam).

Thank.

Likely Zoneminder is loosing connection to the camera. Are you using Source Type Libvlc? If so switch to ffmpeg with Rempte Method TCP.

Thanks,

I am using the following in the source setup:

HTTP
Simple
user:Pwd@server
8080
/stream/video/mjpeg

How to setup the Rempte? Thanks

I have setup the following:

source type: ffmpeg

remote method: TCP
source path: http://user:pwd@192.168.10.27:8080/stream/video/mjpeg

But I got a blue screen. How to fix it? Thanks

Likley using the wrong resolution. Use VLC to check what the camera reports.
If you can get it to work in VLC it will work in Zoneminder!
