Next thing to figure out on these cameras... they have the ability not just to hear sound (microphone), but to hook a speaker up to them. Does that mean we have a network addressable sound source? Could I use Homeseer to send voice/music the IP of the Camera? have to look at that manual again.

Thanks, I got it working with WebCamXP. The motion detector seems to work very well.
Interesting question about the speaker. Let us know what you find out.

I suspect the "speaker Out" is mislabeled. It is probably a "mic In" jack.

And the settings page has a place to specifically turn it on. And there is an area to give the audio port an ip address. It seems to use RTSP (real time streaming protocol). I am trying to research that now.

well, this is getting beyond me... but i know many of you are better at this than me. Looks like VLC can send RTSP streams...

near the bottom. Settings seem to look similar to what the settings on the camera look like. I think this may actually be possible!

What is the proper zm config for this camera? I can get all browsers to work, but on Ubuntu 9.10 with ZM 1.24.1 I can't get the status page to show other than red for this device nor the video stream.
I am a ZM nub, so I suspect there is something I missed in the setup/config along the way.
Thanks.

I didn't watch enough of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9PyV...eature=related
At about 1:50 he goes into yet even more manual steps required to zm to function.

Went to my local Radio Shack hoping to score a $25 network camera, but they did not have any.
I did get a 3 way (master/slave) GE Zwave switch set for $15... compared to the $58 they go for I could not pass up on the deal even though I do not have an application at present.
The appliance modules (both indoor and outdoor) were $10.... I have three in a box that I have not found an application for yet, so I passed on those.

The Zoneminder setup was straight forward. I'm getting about 14-15 FPS with the link.
I just tested ZM in Firefox running in a VNC XFCE session on my LAMP server using Ubuntu 10.10 and it works fine. Typically though even on XP / W7 I monitor ZM with FF versus IE.
Here is a snapshot of the setup for the IP camera link. I have security enabled but for whatever reason I don't have to put in the user name or password in the link?- Pete

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do I find out what IP address (Internal network IP) the camera is using? The first camera I hooked up was assigned the next higher number on my network- (X.X.X.107). But the second camera is not the next higher number? I have tried the next 5 numbers but I can't connect to the camera.
Is there some utility that will list all the IP numbers in use? My router does not show this information.

There are a few ways to see the IP. I typically go to my firewall (Smoothwall) and look at the DHCP logs. I have my DHCP scope set to only 10 IP's and just look at the last entry. I then set the IP'd device address statically and update my internal DNS list to keep track.
On a HW router / Firewall look at the status page; it'll typically show what IP's / MAC's are present on the subnet and some of the HW status pages also distinguish DHCP addresses from static IP addresses that come up on the network.
Here's a program that's free that shows all of the IP's on your subnet. Run it first before putting the camera on the subnet. Run it the second time and it'll show you the new IP. If you click on the IP it'll also show you running services and open ports. I use the program for a quick way to check to see what's up on the network. Using Homeseer's Ultramon; I do the same for all devices on the network.
Just checked - it used to be free. The version I have running is 2.5 (free); you might be able to find it on the internet.

Here's another way which you can find you IP's using a command line prompt. Just type the following at a command line prompt. Adjust the subnet to the one you are utilizing (you can find out by typing "IPCONFIG". The TXT file "ipaddresses.txt" will contain all of the IP addresses on the network.
