Also noticed that when I logged in today the camera feeds for both cameras would not show up in a browser, and required a reboot to fix.

Advice ?

[atlantiatech]

I duplicated the buffer settings from the default Cam_1 and it seems to have calmed down. Going to keep an eye on it.

As far as the streaming feed breaking, is there a way to diagnose this properly if it happens again?

Thanks

[atlantiatech]

update: running for an hour and had to restart httpd to get connection to zm back. Posting specs below, help needed/ appreciated.

also, does anyone know where X is started in Archlinux? No need for it here.

Ok after some testing it looks like the timeouts are client (browser) related and not apache or zm. I am going to test over the next couple of days but the server seems to be behaving as intended.

if anyone knows of some clever ways to keep the browser happy with extended viewing let me know.

Okay, thank you very much!

All I need is the liveCD? Do I need to have the LinuxOS as well? Or just simply install this on an existing windows OS, i.e. windows2k?

Thanks for the help!
