I am getting this every 10 or 15 minutes for one of my cameras. It is not affecting anything. montage show camera fine. it records just fine. It is a cheap P.O.C. camera. trendnet tv-ip501w. This is a copy of some of the log.

This is not affecting anything other than flooding the log and it is annoying but actual function does not seem affected.

In the monitor configuration is Control->Controllable checked?

Is this camera PTZ capable? The control program zmcontrol.pl --id 5 is being called for camera monitor 5 and apparently can't find a PTZ commands file

it is not a controllable camera and I went to look and the controllable was checked. I unchecked it and will see how that does. I had not thought to check that. Thanks.
