Firefox shows full screen when monitoring a camera

Post by fatboy »

Built a pi zero (pi noir) using h264_v4l2_rtspserver (-W 640 -H 480 -F 60)

I do get 60+fps (only other camera is hard wired to a PV150A-4)

ZM running on a Xen VM under Debian Wheezy, 2G memory, 3 3Mhz CPU's, load never gets above .5 (usually about .3)

When I hit the hardwired camera in firefox, I get a screen size just enough to get the full image.

When I hit the Rpi I get full screen. Didn't used to do that. Have to hit the "+" button to shrink it down (not major but extra typing or hitting buttons does not save me any time at the end of the day)

Ideas of what have I done or not done anyone?

TIA

Lower the camera resolution. 640x480 5 fps is good for security cameras...

I know everything is big in Texas but give it a try. You can also choose to display the monitors in smaller size.

Ok, set to 1024X768 @5fps, we shall see. The new monitor frame shows the right size (fits the window right!).

Not exactly sure why 5fps is better than 30 or 60, maybe easies on zoneminder server?

Thanks @bbunge

Zoneminder is a security camera system not a HD video recorder. Save some resources with lower frame rate and increase the number of events you can save.

Been living with zero wireless at 5fps, it misses at times. I usually delete events when the VM starts getting full. I'll grow it if need be.

Got a cheap 360 pan tilt follow ezviz. got it streaming at 15fps. Great deal if it didn't have to phone home and had the hood it riveted down :x
