Hello
Just to say I've tested Wary Watcher on my network this evening and am very happy, thank you CatDude!
I've been running Zoneminder under a few Debian distros lately - Crunchbang and Lubuntu, using a cheap 4 port analogue capture card but started to question the reasoning behind running some old electricity-guzzling PC's (one old PC died, replaced by another..) so started to look around.
I have used Puppy before, and keep an older version on a 128MB mem stick to use when needed.
I will be replacing 1x old power-hungry PC & capture card + 4x analogue cameras with 1x newer PC which I happen to have here (no PCI slots..) and 3x IP cameras, adding a 4th later.
I'm even thinking of disconnecting the hard disk and running Wary from USB only (32GB stick for now)
So tonight, with the one IP camera I have (2x on order) I tried booting from a 1GB mem stick and adding the following into Zoneminder:
Source: remote.
Remote Protocol
HTTP
Remote Method
Simple
Remote Host Name
192.168.45.230
Remote Host Port
81
Remote Host Path
/snapshot.cgi?user=admin&pwd=****&resolution=32&rate=0
Remote Image Colours
24 bit colour
Capture Width (pixels)
640
Capture Height (pixels)
480
Preserve Aspect Ratio
Orientation
Normal
This works with the Tenvis camera I have on my network right now
I'll post more info & details about what I'm using once the system is set up with the other two cameras but for now wanted to give a big thank you to CatDude for this.
The (pay) app for iPhone - EyeZM - also works. You need to specify the full path http://the.ip.address/zm/index.php
Happy days!
Thanks again,
Ashley
