If this happens, just for the purposes of testing your webcam with mjpg_streamer, temporarily use VLC instead. There is some evidence that Firefox 3 sometimes has problems displaying streams and will show a single frame instead. If your setup is working, then you will see a stream of the camera. If the above url doesn't work, try to capture stills or to view the stream. If you use firefox on the same machine where the streamer runs, you can use localhost. Use firefox and point it to the ip address and port of the machine that runs the streamer (default for UVC_streamer is 8080). Mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 320x240 -f 6" -o "output_http.so -p 8080" -bĬheck if the stream works. This sets the 320x240 resolution at 6 fps, or else ZoneMinder might not get the stream.you might need to start the streamer software with the following options '-f 1 -r 320x240 -b' If your ZM setup does not have enough buffer memory.run 'mjpg_streamer -help' (or uvc_stream) for help.this will gather and run the webcam with its defaults.Just run the compiled mjpg_streamer (or uvc_stream) from the current dir.no 'make install' is needed (or available in the makefile).utar/gz the downloaded archive and type 'make' this will compile an executable called 'mjpg_streamer' (version 2) or uvc_stream (version 1).
