I Need Cameras That Work w/ ZM Please

Post by cmennens »

I've attempted to get Zoneminder installed back in 2008 and became extremely frustrated with issues trying to get my old Logitech USB web cameras I had available to me at the time to work. Nothing would seem to render a picture in the ZM software and I just lost interest in getting it to work.

I currently appear to have some non-branded Foscam cameras (IPCAM02) which I think is the following model:

**I am a new user so I can't post a URL yet*

Google = Foscam FI8918W (Black)

Can anyone tell me if they think the above mentioned cameras will work and if not, can someone please just simply list what cameras in the $70-$100 price range 100% will work with Zoneminder. Looking to simply just monitor and record my home office and garage space. I don't want to have to do a lot of nonsense to get a single camera working so if the mentioned above doesn't seem to work, I'm happy to simply buy one that does 100% work with Zoneminder. I'm extremely motivated to get this system working on my Debian Linux PC however I just can't get a clear definitive answer on internal / inside P/T cameras. I don't need wireless and HD video is option but obviously preferred if not too expensive. Right now

Foscam clones should work with the Foscam scripts. Worst case is that you have to tweak the script a little.

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...
