(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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

Is this the Tenvis camera you are using, please?

Hi David

Yes its the same camera.

Tenvis themselves have a very good website with latest firmware & utilities

http://www.tenvis.com/

I found some excellent stuff on setting up the Tenvis cameras in Zoneminder from Glen Pitt-Pladdy, here: http://www.pitt-pladdy.com/blog/_201111 ... ac_setup_/

Thanks!

I made the error of buying one a while back that required ActiveX and thus was useless in Linux.

many thanks for the iso catdude

was lovely to see the zm page after the choping and hacking thru the wiki list...

Thanks CatDude for your Wary Watcher ISO.Now to see how a DLink DCS-932L Day/Night Wireless Camera will play nice.Merry Christmas to you and yours.
